Garage Conversion + Addition • 494 sq. ft. • 1 Bed • 1 Bath

This Reseda project started as a 369-square-foot detached garage. We added 125 square feet to create a 494-square-foot, one-bedroom ADU designed as a practical rental property.

We completed the entire project in five months, with a layout focused on making a relatively small footprint feel useful instead of cramped.

Detached Garage Conversion + Addition • 800 sq. ft. • 2 Bed • 2 Bath

This finished single-story ADU is 800 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living area, and a layout that makes good use of the available footprint.

It's a good example of how an existing garage and an addition can work together to create a substantially larger ADU.

We had a beautiful experience working with Gil’s team of Hugo and Daniel and they were very diligent throughout the entire process. They built our ADU from start to finish in less than 6 months all while my elderly 77 year old dad lived in the front house and they showed great consideration to him. The finishes were on point and the communication never lacked with Gil and Daniel always picking up the phone when we called. And one of the most impressive features of our experience is that for a six figure project the price we were given is the EXACT price that we paid at the end. Would definitely recommend Go ADU to take the stress out of building in the City of LA

Just finished an ADU build with Go ADU and I’m genuinely impressed with how they ran the job. Anytime something unexpected popped up—city, utilities, you name it—they told me right away and laid out options instead of just dumping problems in my lap. Communication was steady the whole way through, and I never felt like I had to chase them for updates. The unit turned out exactly how I pictured it: clean lines, solid workmanship, and ready to move into. I’d gladly bring them back for another project.

Gil and his amazing team just completed my ADU project in less than five months. I am extremely satisfied with their promptness, work ethic, and the quality of the job. There is no guessing or sugar-coating in his business. As I was researching my options on Yelp before working with Go ADU, I read the reviews about Gil but found them a bit unrealistic and market-pitched. However, after completing the work on schedule and within budget, I can confirm that everything said about Go ADU is true. I will definitely work with Gil again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with GO ADU, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. Gil and Hugo were exceptional throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, strong work ethic, and responsiveness truly stood out. They provided great options whenever we needed to make adjustments, ensuring the project stayed on track and aligned with my vision.

The quality of their work is unmatched. I’ve looked at other ADUs, but none compare to what they’ve built. My ADU is absolutely stunning—luxurious, beautiful, and classy. It's ready to hit the market, and I’m confident it will stand out from the competition.

I would highly recommend GO ADU to anyone considering a project. Thank you, Gil and Hugo, for your incredible work. I look forward to referring you to all my friends and family!

We hired Go ADU, with Gil as the owner and Hugo as the project manager, to design and build an ADU for us, and we’re so happy with how everything turned out. From day one, they made the whole process easy to navigate. Gil was great at working through the design, helping us turn our ideas into a functional plan, while Hugo made sure everything stayed on schedule during the build. The communication between them and with us was seamless.

I really appreciated how clean they kept the site. We’ve worked with other contractors before, and this is something a lot of people overlook, but not Gil and Hugo. Their team was careful about cleaning up each day, and even after a huge rainstorm that made everything muddy, they had the site looking spotless by the next morning. Little things like that really made a difference.

The design process was another standout part of the experience. I had a general idea of what I wanted, and Gil helped bring it to life with practical suggestions to make the space both beautiful and functional. Hugo was fantastic at managing the day-to-day construction, making sure the project moved along smoothly and keeping us updated at every stage.

If you’re looking for a team that’s professional, reliable, and easy to work with, I’d definitely recommend Go ADU. They made the entire process so much less stressful, and we love how the ADU turned out!

I couldn't be happier with the work Go ADU did on my garage conversion. They were professional, efficient, and communicated every step of the process. The finished product is stunning, and I've already rented it out! The fact that they finished on time was a huge relief. If you're considering an ADU project, I highly recommend them.

I just wrapped up an ADU project with Go ADU, and I’ve got to say, I’m really happy with how it turned out. They kept the site super clean, which isn’t always the case with contractors. Plus, they actually finished on time. There were a couple of hiccups, but they were quick to let me know and always had a plan to keep things moving.

The final result looks great—exactly what I was hoping for. Solid work all around. Definitely someone I’d work with again.

I don’t often leave reviews but Gil and the team did an awesome job on our ADU. We vetted a couple contractors and chose Gil as he was very personable and we wanted to enjoy the experience of the build as we had heard some horror stories. Go ADU did a fab job, and we’ll be recommending them to friends and neighbors. We’ll be renting our ADU and here are the photos from our staging! Thank you Gil!!!

I've built several ADUs now with different contractors and this one was the easiest and smoothest to date thanks to Gil and his team at Go ADU. Communications was great throughout the process and most impressively, Gil's team actually stuck to a schedule and on the few occasions where we had to deviate, we were only off by a few days rather than weeks or months on my previous jobs with other contractors. Gil was also very responsive and accommodating to change orders and corrections -- no fuss, no pushback. Am definitely going to recommend him to other clients and investors of mine!

Hiring Go ADU for my project was finding a gem in a sea of contractors. From day one, they had a game plan that made sense and kept the project on track.

Their transparency was refreshing. No smoke and mirrors—just clear communication about timelines and costs that helped me plan ahead without any surprises.

But what really stood out was how they listened. They didn't just build; they collaborated, taking my ideas and turning them into reality.

I'm grateful for a stress-free build process, look no further than Gil, Hugo and their team.

I’m a long time real estate investor and I’ve worked with at least a dozen contractors. Gil and his team are by far my favorites. They’re the most reliable contractors I’ve ever worked with. Communication was superb — clear, realistic timelines and constant updates with photos. He and is team were highly skilled in understanding the nuances of my project. I’m thrilled with the final product and will absolutely be using GoADU again for my next project.

Gil fixed up my ADU after a nightmare contractor couldn’t get it finished according to code and kept failing inspection. He walked off the job and I was overwhelmed because construction wasn’t my lane of expertise. Gil knew how to communicate with us as a homeowner himself. He understood our point of view, was knowledge and helpful, and got the ADU finished and permitted.

What ADU Option Is Right for Your Reseda Property?

No single ADU type works for every Reseda lot.


If you have usable yard space, a new detached ADU may give you the most flexibility. If you already have a garage in the right location, a conversion or conversion with an addition may make better use of what's already there.


Don't assume a garage conversion is automatically the cheaper option. Existing foundations, framing, electrical, plumbing, and structural conditions can change the equation pretty quickly. The right answer starts with looking at your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building an ADU in Reseda

 

How much does it cost to build an ADU in Reseda?

The cost to build an ADU in Reseda depends on what you're building and what we're starting with. Size, site access, utilities, foundation work, existing structures, finishes, and whether it's new construction or a conversion can all change the final number.

That's why we prefer to look at the property and scope before pretending there's one useful price-per-square-foot number. You can also review our ADU pricing for a clearer idea of current starting costs and the factors that affect your budget.

Do I need a permit to build an ADU in Reseda?

Yes. Reseda is part of the City of Los Angeles, so ADUs must meet applicable Los Angeles permitting, building, and inspection requirements.

Depending on your property and ADU type, the process can include architectural and structural plans, Title 24 documentation, setbacks, utility coordination, plan review, permits, and inspections during construction. We evaluate the property first, then manage the permitting and inspection process as part of your ADU project.

Can I convert my garage into an ADU in Reseda?

Yes, many garages can potentially be converted into ADUs, but the existing structure has to be evaluated first. We've done exactly this in Reseda. Our Vanowen Street project started with a 369-square-foot detached garage, then added 125 square feet to create a 494-square-foot one-bedroom ADU.

What are the ADU setback requirements in Reseda?

ADU setback requirements depend on the type of project and the conditions of your property. New construction and conversions aren't always treated the same way, and existing structures can affect what's possible.

We'd rather look at your actual lot than give you a setback number online that may not apply to your project.

How large can an ADU be on my Reseda property?

The allowable ADU size depends on your property, the type of ADU, the existing home and structures, and the rules that apply to that particular project.

For context, we've completed a 494-square-foot one-bedroom ADU on Vanowen Street and an 800-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bathroom ADU on White Oak Avenue in Reseda. Your property may support something different.

Is it better to build a detached ADU or convert my garage?

It depends on the property and what you want from the ADU.

A new detached ADU gives you more control over the footprint and layout. A garage conversion lets you start with an existing structure, but that doesn't automatically make it less expensive. Foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, and structural upgrades can add up.

We look at both options before telling you which one makes more sense.

How long does ADU construction take once permits are approved?

Most builds finish in 4–6 months. We set a realistic schedule at the start and track milestones weekly to keep the build moving. 

Ready to Build Your ADU?

We've already built ADUs in Reseda, so you don't have to start by explaining your neighborhood to us. If you're trying to decide between a detached ADU, garage conversion, addition, or another approach, let's look at your property and talk through what's realistic.
