What is an ADU?
ADU is an abbreviation for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It has been referred to as a “casita”, “granny-flat”, “backyard home”, etc.
The process for building an ADU has just recently become easier, quicker, cheaper, and incentivized.
Potato Construction Inc. has the best team in the industry. We will not only build the ADU perfectly, but also make sure you will have the best experience with lower costs!

Garage Conversion
Convert your garage into living space – can be one of the quickest and most affordable ways to add usable space to a home.
Attached ADU
These additions adjoin the primary home – to the side or rear of the home, or constructed on top of an attached garage.
Detached ADU + JADU
An JADU may be permitted inside a proposed detached ADU (“The accessory dwelling unit may be combined with a junior accessory dwelling unit”). Junior accessory dwelling unit” means a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence
