Whether you're asking, "What is a granny unit?" or wondering, "What is ADU in construction?"—we've got the answers and solutions tailored to your needs.
Understanding the Rise of ADU Granny Flats
In early 2017, a new California state law was enacted to encourage homeowners to build "Granny Flats" or ADUs. These additional living spaces are known by various names, such as backyard cottages, garage apartments, or their formal term, Accessory Dwelling Units. ADU homes in Los Angeles have grown in popularity due to their practical and flexible living solutions.
Why Consider an ADU?
Thinking about expanding space in your home for an elderly relative, extra income, or a grown child who moved back home? Then an ADU is your answer! ADU granny flats in Los Angeles provide the perfect solution for those needing additional space without compromising the privacy or functionality of their existing property.
Planning, Design, and Layout
We will start with planning, design, and layout so you, as the homeowner, can decide if building an ADU on your property is possible. This will help provide preliminary answers to key questions and show you the steps the City will require and what the design and construction of an ADU will entail. As a trusted granny flat & ADU contractor in Los Angeles, Snow Construction ensures that every aspect of the process is clear and straightforward.
Parking Considerations for Your ADU
How much space will I need for parking?
Many properties already have two parking spaces available in a garage or carport. When adding an ADU, you might need to incorporate an additional parking space on your lot. This extra space can be either covered or uncovered, depending on your preference and the available area.
You may not need additional parking if:
- The ADU is located within one-half mile of public transit.
- The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant district.
- The ADU is part of the existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure.
- On-street parking permits are required but not offered to occupants of the ADU.
- There is a car-share vehicle located within one block of the ADU.
These are the five current parking exemptions as of July 2017, but parking requirements may change. Upon starting your ADU Project, we can help you check with the Dept. of City Planning for current requirements!

Testimonials
The quality of the work is impeccable, all of his team is also amazing and personable. They did a really great job and I will definitely be contacting Billy when we need some more work done. I literally cannot stress how much of a diamond in the rough / needle in a haystack this guy is! Great Job Billy!
- Dean K
We hired Billy after meeting with 4 contractors because he was prompt, professional, efficient and had a great attitude and fairly priced. I thought it was all too good to be true, but after completing the work exactly on time and perfectly done, I realize that he is truly the best in the industry. We have now recommended him and his guys to many friends and hope to use him again when we need more work done. He was a complete pleasure to work with and changed my perception that all general contractors were difficult to work with. Highly recommend him!
- Kristina M
I'm always very skeptical about construction people and realtors in general. It's the car salesman personality that gets me. You feel like you need a shower after having a meeting with them. I'm really happy I met Billy. He was referred to me by a friend of mine. He is so down to earth and easy to talk too. I'm Australian, I don't like any shady behavior, Billy was upfront about what we needed to do, gave us ideas, quotes on different ways we could get the job done. We are on a budget so we chose the least expensive option for our Bathroom in our town home. Maybe next time we'll go all out on the higher end tile, but for now we love it and I wouldn't change a thing. I am so happy with the results! I will be using Billy for any upcoming needs, we are planning to buy a home next year and he will be the first person I call.
