The Premiere ADU BUILDER in San Diego
REINVENT
YOUR BACKYARD
RITZ builds the perfect backyard ADU.
"FIVE STAR SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH"
Accessory Dwelling Units are not just Granny Flats in San Diego. ADUs are now being used as Backyard Offices, Art Studios, and Boomerang Flats. Garage conversions are also considered ADUs. We have been hired to convert a garage into a gym, into a gameroom and more... ADUs are still used as Mother-in-Law Suites and Backyard Rentals, but they can be used for anything else you can dream up. The first thing you need to do is find out what you can build and then look into the cost of building an ADU in San Diego County. We can help you, just ask your questions and we will answer.
We begin the ADU Planning process by listening to what you want to do, to determine what you need from us - then we will do the research to find out whether or not you can build an ADU in your neighborhood. After we confirm that your neighborhood is approved for ADUs, we’ll come out to your home and measure the entire property. We actually build from these plans, so you can expect a lot of measuring, checking and confirming. We’ll also verify utility locations and the furnace and hot water sizes and other critical information. You’ll walk us around your home and share your vision for the project. Now the fun really begins—we get started on the actual design of your home.
Explore the possibilities!
THE IN-LAW SUITE
This type of ADU
is ideal for Aging Loved Ones
Providing a safe, affordable living environment for an aging family member is one of the most compelling reasons to build an accessory dwelling unit. These backyard homes are often called Mother-in-Law Suites, or Granny Flats, but they can be for Aunties, Uncles, and Grampies too.
BACKYARD ART STUDIO
Your backyard
becomes your Artistic Outlet
This type of backyard ADU unleashes the artist within. Now your studio is moments away. Step into your backyard art studio and let your creativity flow, knowing that you can close the door later and your creations will be safe and undisturbed until you add the final touches!
THE BOOMERANG FLAT
Ah, Your Adult Child ...
has returned or left the nest again
This backyard home is a multiple function ADU. Just think, it can serve as a private little apartment for your Adult Child when they return or it can double as a guest house or backyard rental when they are away. The options are wide open! Improve your property value, achieve some privacy or add a little income to your life.
YOUR BACKYARD OFFICE
Listen ... It's QUIET
in your new Backyard Office
This type of ADU is ideal for the entrepreneur or the stay at home professional who still needs their 'space'. This is better than a den - it offers a certain disconnect from the hustle and bustle of family life so you can concentrate on the task at hand and scratch the commute! A backyard Office is the perfect solution!
A BACKYARD RENTAL
RePurpose your backyard
into a mini Cash-Cow
Building a backyard rental is a great idea. Make the new backyard home into a rental OR move into it, rent the main house and travel! Either way, it provides cashflow and increased property value. San Diego now allows some homeowners to build an accessory dwelling unit on their existing property. Find out if you can. Call us now.
GARAGE CONVERSION
Most popular ADU in San Diego?
The Converted Garage.
Yes, San Diego homeowners hire us to convert a garage into a bedroom, or a granny flat. Some are converting a garage into an office or apartment. We convert garages into living space in many situations. For example, convert the whole garage to a room or convert the top of the garage into living space. Call us to explore your garage conversion ideas.
HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?
Expert Guidance | 3D Designs
Our designer takes the accurate measurements of your home, and digitizes them into full color 3D renderings, plans and elevations. You will be invited to take a virtual walk through of the design, before we lift a hammer! A complete proposal, with a full itemization, clearly defined payment schedule, along with the terms and conditions of your project, will be included in the Project Specification Sheet. We encourage your input on the design, and will work side by side to ensure your dreams become a reality! Once the design has been approved, and the contract is signed, we move onto the permit.
WIN the Permitting Process
Permitting accessory dwelling units isn’t a clear cut process, so you are fortunate that Ritz ADU Design Build has been building in San Diego County since 1965, and has experience with each jurisdiction. We do our due diligence, and carefully research each property prior to the design phase, to ensure we are able to build your dream. Our Research & Development team stays current with the State, County and each cities rules & regulations, so that the permitting process runs as smooth as possible. We submit your packages and then closely monitor the process until your permit is issued.
