Detached ADU Services
A detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a fully independent living structure built separately from your primary home. These freestanding units offer maximum privacy for both homeowners and occupants, making them the most popular ADU type in Los Angeles County. Under California law (AB 68, SB 13, AB 462), detached ADUs up to 1,200 square feet are allowed on virtually any residential lot regardless of local zoning restrictions.
CCS Inc. specializes in designing and building detached ADUs that maximize your property's potential. Our team handles every phase from initial feasibility assessment and architectural drafting to permit acquisition and full construction. We work closely with LADBS, LA County, and local building departments across Southern California to ensure a smooth permitting process.
Whether you want to generate rental income, create a guest house, or build a home for an aging parent, a detached ADU delivers the highest return on investment of any home improvement project. Most homeowners see property value increases of $150,000-$350,000 upon completion, with rental income of $1,800-$3,500 per month depending on location and finish level.

- Maximum privacy - separate structure from the main home
