ADU Construction in Pacific Palisades
Pacific Palisades combines coastal living with canyon estates, and recent wildfire events have underscored the need for fire-hardened construction. ADUs here often serve as rebuilt or upgraded guest houses, and many homeowners are incorporating fire-resistant materials into new builds.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit built on your existing residential property. Whether you want to generate rental income, house a family member, or increase your property value, CCS Inc. handles everything from design and permits to construction and final inspection.
