Find Your Ideal ADU: Explore Various Types to Suit Your Needs
When considering an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) for your backyard, it’s important to understand the different types of constructions available. Most people are unaware that there are several approaches to building an ADU, each with its own set of benefits and considerations.
Standard ADUs are the traditional choice and include various types:
Detached ADU: Build a standalone unit separate from your main house, ideal for a guest house, rental unit, or private retreat in your backyard.
Attached ADU: Extend your home with a unit that shares a wall but provides a completely independent living space with its own entrance.
Interior Conversion ADU: Convert existing spaces like basements or attics into stylish, self-contained living units. This option maximizes your current structure to expand your home efficiently.
Above-Garage ADU: Utilize vertical space by constructing a unit above your garage, blending convenience with additional living quarters.
Tiny Home ADU: Choose a compact, standalone unit that provides minimalist living with essential features, perfect for guests or rental income.
While prefabricated ADUs, such as modular or panelized units, are popular in some areas, Bowman Remodeling focuses on standard ADU constructions. We specialize in creating custom, high-quality ADUs that perfectly align with your vision and requirements.

FAQ
These are some of the commonly asked customer questions & answers by our experts that can help get a fair understanding of our ADU construction services & processes.
What are the Setback rules for ADUs in Los Gatos?
Not just in Los Gatos, but across California, all homeowners must follow a setback of 4’ (feet) from the rear and side while designing & building an ADU. A detached ADU must be 10’ (feet) away from the main residence and 5’ away from any property lines.
Do I need a permit to build an ADU on my property?
Absolutely! You must have a permit from the local municipality or the Building & Safety Department for building an ADU at your property, without which the new construction would be deemed illegal. Permits are issued, only after you submit the complete design-plan for approval.
Do you fully comply with the state rules & regulations?
As a licensed ADU contractor, we fully comply with the ADU construction rules & guidelines as laid down by the California state, and also help obtain all the necessary government permits for a new construction at a property.
