Common questions

Asked and answered

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be attached, detached, or a conversion of an existing structure like a garage. ADUs are known by various names, including granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages, and secondary units.

What are the benefits of building an ADU in Sherman Oaks?

Building an ADU offers numerous benefits, including generating rental income, providing housing for family members (e.g., elderly parents or adult children), increasing property value, and creating flexible space for a home office, gym, or guest suite. They also contribute to solving California's housing shortage.

What is the process for building an ADU with Sage & Slate?

Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your needs and property. We then move to design and architectural planning, permit acquisition, construction, and final inspection. We manage every step, ensuring compliance and quality.

How long does it take to build an ADU?

The timeline varies based on the scope and complexity of the project, including design, permitting, and construction. Generally, an ADU project can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months from planning to completion. We provide a detailed timeline during the initial planning phase.
