What Our Clients Say

We hired DLC to convert our detached garage into a one-bedroom ADU, and the experience was excellent. Dan was knowledgeable and responsive, designing a pitched roof that made the space feel larger. The project stayed organized, timely, and on budget.

We are very pleased with our new 1200 sq ft ADU that Dan and his team have built for us. Dan was always very quick to respond whenever we had questions, and his staff’s flexibility on any changes and/or issues that came up were addressed in a timely manner.

DLC built an 800 sq ft addition to our home. It included a bedroom, a hall bathroom, and a large master suite with a luxurious bathroom and custom walk- in closet. It came out beautiful, exactly how we wanted it, and in a very efficient timeline.

We found DLC on Instagram and exceeded every expectation. Dan and his team delivered a truly custom, designer-level build. His engineering background showed in every recommendation. Communication was clear, timelines and costs were accurate, and the final result was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Dan and his team converted our 1940 garage into a beautiful ADU after previously renovating our bathroom and pantry. Their bid was competitive, the craftsmanship excellent, and they consistently go above and beyond. After many renovations with other contractors, they are among the very best.

Common Questions About Our Services

Here are all the reasons our clients have chosen to build ADUs, with typical Sacramento costs:

  • Expand your family ($150k to $400k for new build or conversion).
  • Take care of aging family members ($105k to $300k garage conversion).
  • Increase your home's value (up to 20-30% ROI via equity boost).
  • Have an extra space for visiting friends and family ($250k to $500k detached).
  • Have a healthy rental income stream ($1,800 to $2,000/mo).
  • Utilize your detached garage for more than just storage ($105k to $300k conversion).​

 An ADU garage conversion transforms your underused garage into a fully functional living space, perfect for rental income, multigenerational living, or expanding your lifestyle without leaving home; in Sacramento, $105,000 to $300,000. They are often the most cost-effective way to build an ADU at $150 to $250/sf. This is our specialty.​

 In Sacramento, garage conversion ADUs typically range from $105,000 to $300,000+, depending on size, design, utility locations, and finish level: simple $105k to $175k; mid-range $200k to $300k; high-end $300k+. Your final cost is influenced by gas vs. all-electric, panel upgrades, trenching distance, and footprint expansion.​

Rental income from an ADU matches 1 to 2-bedroom apartments; in California/Sacramento, $1,800 to $2,000/mo average. For a $230k detached ADU at $1,800/mo (10% vacancy, 5% annual increase), expect 8.5-year ROI; conversions faster at lower build costs ($105k to $300k)

HELOC on home equity ($105k–$400k projects) at ~7% on drawn amount only preserves low mortgage rate vs. cash-out refinance; ideal for $500k equity homes funding $300k ADU.​

Use Sacramento pre-approved plans (studio/1-2 bed, zero lot line) cuts permitting/design to weeks, saves $20k–$50k on $250k+ new builds vs. custom.​

Optimize plumbing clustering ($5k–$10k savings); stick to rectangular shape ($10k+ roof labor cut); minimize cabinets ($10k savings) on $105k–$400k projects.​

 Let licensed contractors handle ($3k–$11k fees)—avoids rework/stoppages on $105k–$400k projects from owner-builder errors.
