ADU Construction in Vernon – Made Simple with Golden ADU

Adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your Vernon property is one of the smartest investments you can make in today’s real estate market. As property values continue to rise throughout Los Angeles County, Vernon homeowners are discovering how ADUs can generate rental income, provide housing for family members, or create flexible space for home offices and studios—all while increasing property value. At Golden ADU, we’ve simplified the entire process from design to construction, making your ADU journey smooth and stress-free.

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), sometimes called a Granny Flat, In-Law Suite, or Backyard Home, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. These versatile spaces include all essential living facilities—kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living areas—allowing them to function as fully independent living spaces.

ADUs come in several forms to suit different property types and homeowner needs. A Garage Conversion transforms your existing garage into living space, maximizing underutilized structures. Room Additions extend your home to create attached ADUs that blend seamlessly with your property. For those with ample yard space, Detached ADUs offer privacy and separation from the main dwelling. Whatever your vision, Golden ADU can help bring it to life with custom ADU Plans designed specifically for Vernon properties.
