ADUs in Hermosa Beach
Every ADU is a small house with all the same complexity. We've built detached, attached, and garage-conversion ADUs across the South Bay — and we're fluent in the local lot constraints, setbacks, and SB-9/SB-10 timelines that trip up out-of-town builders.
Hermosa is small lots and big constraints. Walk-street and Strand-adjacent homes pack a lot of house onto a little footprint, so every inch of an addition or ADU has to earn its place.

Frequently asked
Common questions.
Do you take on adus projects in Hermosa Beach?
Yes. Hermosa Beach is squarely in our South Bay service area, and adus work is one of our core services. Tight setbacks, strict height limits, and Coastal Zone review across much of the city mean the design has to be right before you ever pull a permit. We feasibility-check the envelope first.
How long does an ADU take?
Plan on 4–8 months from permit-ready drawings to keys, depending on size and city. Permitting itself can take 2–4 months in some South Bay cities.
Will the rental income cover the build?
Sometimes. We'll model realistic build cost vs. realistic local rents before you commit so you're not guessing.
Do you do garage conversions?
Yes. Garage and JADU conversions are often the fastest path to permitted square footage if the existing structure is sound.
