ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT CONTRACTORONWARD BUILDERS
Unlock the equity sitting on your property and turn it into monthly income with an ADU.
Your property can work harder for you.
A wave of new California legislation — including AB 2533, SB 1211, and AB 976 — has fundamentally changed what homeowners can do with their properties. Garages, unused parking spaces, and underutilized structures can now be converted into legal, permitted ADUs. No replacement parking required. No owner-occupancy mandate. And for units built before 2020 that were never permitted, there's now a clear path to legalization without penalties. The window is open and Michael Shlomof has been building ADUs across Los Angeles for years.

Unlock the equity sitting on your property
A permitted ADU adds immediate, measurable value to your home — both in rental income potential and appraised value. For homeowners who aren't ready to sell but want to maximize what they own, an ADU is one of the most compelling moves available right now. Michael has helped LA homeowners do exactly this across dozens of projects.
For homeowners in Los Angeles who are already rebuilding or renovating, incorporating an ADU into your rebuild project is almost always more cost-effective than adding one later. We can design and permit it into your rebuild from the start — one project, one team, one timeline.
