Completed accessory dwelling unit in a residential backyard

ADU Construction

Accessory dwelling unit construction in Temecula and Southern California

Stetson Contracting and Waterproofing builds accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for homeowners throughout Southern California. California has streamlined ADU regulations to encourage additional housing, and many homeowners are taking advantage of the opportunity to add living space to their properties. Whether you are considering a garage conversion, a detached backyard unit, or an attached addition, we handle ADU projects from planning through completion.

What We Offer

Detached ADUs

Standalone units built in your backyard or side yard. Separate structures with their own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom.

Garage Conversions

Convert an existing garage into a livable dwelling unit. Maximize your property's potential using existing structure.

Attached ADUs

Units built as an addition to your existing home. Connected but with separate entrance and living facilities.

Junior ADUs

Smaller units created within existing living space, typically 500 square feet or less with a separate entrance.

Full Build-Out

Complete construction including foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and finishes.

Permitting Support

Navigate local ADU permitting requirements. California has established statewide ADU laws, though local requirements vary.

Why This Matters for Your Home

ADUs offer homeowners a way to add living space, accommodate family members, or create rental income potential. California law has made ADU construction more accessible by reducing barriers and streamlining the permitting process. An ADU is a significant construction project that involves foundation work, framing, plumbing, electrical, and all the finish work of a full home — just in a more compact footprint. Working with a licensed general building contractor ensures the project meets building codes and is constructed to last.
