ADU Construction in South Pasadena

Need a licensed adu builder near South Pasadena? An accessory dwelling unit is the biggest single upgrade most South Pasadena homeowners can make to a lot: rental income, a place for parents or grown kids, or a home office that is actually separate from the house. We handle the whole job in-house, from the site survey and plans to permits, construction and final inspection.

South Pasadena is about 14 miles east of our North Hollywood office, so our Southern California crews are on site quickly for estimates, inspections and the day-to-day work.

What's included

• Feasibility check of your South Pasadena lot: setbacks, utilities, easements and access
• Custom or pre-approved floor plans, studio to two bedrooms
• Structural and Title 24 energy calculations
• Permit submittal and plan-check corrections with the building department
• Foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC
• Kitchen, bath and finish work, through final inspection and certificate of occupancy

Building in South Pasadena

South Pasadena has many older homes, so remodels here often uncover original wiring, galvanized plumbing and foundations that predate modern seismic code. We price those upgrades up front so they are not a surprise mid-project.

Building permits for South Pasadena projects are issued by the City of South Pasadena. California law requires local agencies to approve or deny a complete ADU application within 60 days, and owner occupancy is no longer required. We prepare the submittal so it is complete the first time.

What affects the price

• Detached new build versus attached or JADU
• Square footage and number of bedrooms
• Utility runs and whether the main panel or sewer lateral needs an upgrade
• Site access for equipment and the slope of the lot
• Finish level of the kitchen and bathroom

Every estimate is free, written and itemized. Call 844-975-5512 to schedule a visit.
