Services: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Welcome to Glickman Design Build’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) services, where we turn underutilized spaces into versatile, functional, and beautiful living areas. ADUs offer homeowners many opportunities, from creating space for multigenerational living to generating additional rental income. At Glickman, we understand the importance of maximizing the potential of your property, and our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals through custom ADU solutions.

Our ADU Services Include:

Design and Planning:


Our talented designers work closely with you to conceptualize, plan, and develop the ideal ADU that aligns with your vision and needs. We understand that every client is unique, so our design process is tailored to suit your preferences.

Permitting and Regulatory Compliance:

Navigating the intricacies of permits and regulations can be challenging. Our experienced team is well-versed in local building codes and ensures a smooth process to secure the necessary approvals for your ADU project.

Construction and Build-Out:


Glickman’s skilled craftsmen bring your ADU to life through precise construction, using the finest materials and adhering to the highest quality standards. Whether it’s a detached unit, a basement conversion, or an attic transformation, we make sure the end result is a beautiful, functional living space.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:


We prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency in ADU construction. Our environmentally conscious designs may include energy-efficient features, green building materials, and sustainable practices to reduce your carbon footprint.

Multigenerational Living Solutions:


ADUs are ideal for families seeking comfortable, independent living for aging parents or adult children. We specialize in creating spaces that foster intergenerational harmony and privacy while ensuring accessibility and convenience.

Rental Income Generation:


Many homeowners opt to rent out ADUs, making them an attractive income source. We can help you design ADUs that cater to the needs of potential renters while increasing your property’s overall value.

ADU Remodeling and Renovation:


If you have an existing ADU that requires a refresh or renovation, we offer services to revitalize these spaces, enhancing aesthetics and functionality.

Real Estate Investment Consultation:


For those considering ADUs as an investment opportunity, our team can provide expert advice on property selection, budgeting, and maximizing ROI through ADU rental.

Types of ADUs:

In the realm of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), homeowners have a variety of options to consider, each offering unique advantages and design possibilities. One popular choice is the Detached ADU, a separate structure that provides complete autonomy from the main residence. This option allows for privacy and a distinct living space while maintaining a close connection to the primary dwelling.

For those seeking an integrated approach, the Attached ADU is a compelling option. This type involves an expansion or addition to the existing home, connected by at least one shared wall. This seamless integration allows for a fluid transition between the primary residence and the ADU, fostering a sense of unity and convenience.

An innovative solution for those with underutilized garage space is the Garage Conversion ADU. By repurposing an existing garage into a fully functional living space, homeowners can maximize their property’s potential. This not only breathes new life into unused areas but also offers a sustainable approach to expanding living space.

Requirements for all ADUs:

Regardless of the type of ADU chosen, all ADUs must meet specific criteria. To be classified as an ADU, the unit must provide essential living amenities, including areas for sleeping, cooking, and bathroom facilities. Importantly, they must exist on the same parcel of land as the primary one-unit dwelling, ensuring a harmonious coexistence within the property. This diversity in ADU types empowers homeowners to tailor their living spaces to suit their preferences and lifestyle while adhering to the necessary regulatory standards.
