Our Story
Backyards Have More Potential Than People Think
ADU Homeowner started with a simple observation: a lot of homeowners are curious about building an accessory dwelling unit, but the process feels intimidating. Between design choices, permits, utilities, and finding a builder who actually does this kind of work, it's easy to stall before you begin.
We exist to remove that friction. ADU Homeowner is an independent marketing and referral platform focused entirely on accessory dwelling units — detached backyard cottages, garage conversions, junior ADUs, and everything that goes into finishing them. We're not a contractor, and we don't build the units ourselves. What we do is help you get pointed in the right direction, fast.
How the Network Works
When you reach out, you tell us about your property and what you're hoping to create. We then connect you with independent, vetted local pros in our network who specialize in your type of ADU project. You receive a free, no-obligation quote and plan, review it on your own schedule, and — if it's a fit — you hire the pro directly.
You stay in control the whole way. Every agreement for design or construction is between you and the provider you choose. We simply make the introduction and share helpful, honest information so you can make a confident decision about one of the biggest upgrades a property can gain.
