No one has more experience taking accessory dwelling units in San Diego from start to finish.
ADU Geeks began when our founder saw how difficult and opaque the process was to build a granny flat in his dad’s backyard. After wading through frustrating red tape and seeing costs quickly balloon, he knew there had to be a better way—so he created it. Since then, ADU Geeks’ team of consultants has helped over 200 homeowners through every step of the process of building ADUs in San Diego, and we can help you, too.

Four ways to unlock your property’s potential
San Diego’s accessory dwelling units come in many shapes and designs. Choose the option that’s right for you.
Attached ADU
Expand the footprint of your current home by up to 50% with an attached ADU. Choose a pre-approved floor plan or customize one for your needs.
Detached ADU
Put open space on your property to better use with detached ADUs up to 1,200 sq. ft. Whether you want an ADU design that feels like an extension of your house or a fresh new take, we’ll help you create a standalone ADU that truly stands out.
Garage Conversion
Kick the car to the curb and convert your garage into an income-generating ADU. Easily add a studio rental with a cozy kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.
Second Story or Basement Conversion
No extra land? No problem! ADUs can be added above or below the primary residence to provide a new layer of value for your property.
