We start every ADU project by reviewing your lot's size, setbacks, and any HOA design guidelines so the project we design is one the city — and your community — will actually approve.

What We Build

ADU Services in Mission Viejo

Full-scope ADU projects from design through final inspection. One licensed contractor managing architecture, permitting, and construction.

Detached ADUs

Standalone backyard units up to 1,200 sq ft, built to function as a complete home — bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living space. A strong fit for the larger lots common in Nellie Gail Ranch and Moulton Ranch.

Garage Conversions

Converting an attached or detached garage into a livable ADU — including new insulation, plumbing, electrical, and egress. A practical option for Mission Viejo homes on smaller, more tightly-built lots.

Attached ADUs

An addition built onto the existing home with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom — sharing one or more walls with the main house. Often the most cost-effective way to add a self-contained living space.

Junior ADUs (JADUs)

Up to 500 sq ft, converted from existing space within the home's footprint — often a bedroom with an added kitchenette and separate entrance. A lower-cost path to a legal second living unit, with fewer site-plan constraints.

Design & Permitting

Architectural plans, structural engineering, and submission through the City of Mission Viejo's ADU plan check process — plus HOA architectural review where applicable. California's streamlined ADU laws mean faster turnaround than a standard addition.

Site Prep & Utility Connections

Grading, utility trenching, and new or upgraded electrical, water, and sewer connections for your ADU — coordinated with the main home's existing systems so everything works together once construction wraps.

Common Questions

ADU Contractor FAQ — Mission Viejo, CA

What Mission Viejo homeowners typically ask before starting an ADU project.

Does Mission Viejo have HOA restrictions on ADUs in communities like Nellie Gail Ranch?
Many Mission Viejo communities, including Nellie Gail Ranch, have HOA architectural guidelines that apply to ADUs — covering things like exterior materials, placement, and height. State ADU law limits how much an HOA can restrict ADUs outright, but design review still typically applies. We review your HOA's guidelines early and prepare the submission alongside your city permit application.
How big can an ADU be in Mission Viejo?
Under California's statewide ADU rules, detached ADUs can generally be built up to 1,200 sq ft, attached ADUs up to 50% of the existing home's square footage (with some caps), and JADUs up to 500 sq ft. Lot size, setbacks, and lot coverage limits also factor in — we'll work through what's realistic for your specific property during the design phase.
How long does an ADU project take from start to finish?
Design and permitting typically takes 2 to 4 months, depending on plan complexity, city review timelines, and any HOA approval steps. Construction generally runs 4 to 8 months for a detached ADU, or 6 to 10 weeks for a garage conversion or JADU.
What does an ADU cost in Mission Viejo?
A detached ADU typically runs $150,000 to $300,000+ depending on size and finish level. Garage conversions generally run $60,000 to $120,000, and JADUs run $40,000 to $80,000. We provide a full written quote — including design, permitting, and construction — after an on-site walkthrough.
Do I need separate utility meters for an ADU?
It depends on the project and your plans for the unit. Many ADUs share the main home's utility connections with sub-panels and sub-metering, while some homeowners — especially those planning to rent the unit — opt for separate utility meters. We'll go over the tradeoffs and what each option involves during design.
