ADU Construction in Bell Gardens – Made Simple with Golden ADU

Bell Gardens homeowners now have an exciting opportunity to maximize their property value and living space with Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). These versatile structures offer additional rental income, multi-generational living solutions, or expanded living space on your existing property. Golden ADU specializes in making the entire process – from design to construction – seamless and stress-free for Bell Gardens residents looking to enhance their homes without the complexity typically associated with construction projects.

What is an ADU?

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary living space built on your existing residential property. Often called “Granny Flats,” “In-Law Suites,” or “Backyard Cottages,” these self-contained living units include all the essentials: a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and separate entrance. They’re perfect for housing family members, generating rental income, or creating a private home office or studio.

ADUs come in various forms to suit different needs and property configurations. A Garage Conversion transforms your existing garage into a comfortable living space, while a Room Addition expands your current home with an ADU attachment. Alternatively, you might prefer a Detached ADU—a standalone structure in your backyard that offers complete privacy and separation from your main residence. Each option provides unique benefits, and our team can help determine which is best for your Bell Gardens property.
