ADU Construction · Canoga Park

ADUs built by your Canoga Park neighbors

Canoga Park's older tract-home blocks near Sherman Way often have detached garages original to the house, which makes a garage-conversion ADU one of the most common projects we take on here. Lots closer to Topanga Canyon Boulevard tend to run a bit larger, which sometimes opens up a detached, ground-up unit as an option too. Canoga Park is part of the City of Los Angeles, so ADU permitting runs through the LA Department of Building and Safety, and California state law bars the city from requiring a replacement parking space when an existing garage is converted. We manage that entire permitting process, including Title 24 energy compliance, for every ADU build.

See real cost ranges by ADU type in our ADU cost guide, browse our ADU construction services, or see the same work in nearby Woodland Hills. For general remodeling here, visit our Canoga Park page.

Before You Start

What to check before an ADU in Canoga Park

Older tract homes near Sherman Way often have a detached garage that is original to the house, and lots closer to Topanga Canyon Boulevard tend to run larger.

  • Size and condition. We check the slab, the structure and the roof before we plan the layout.
  • Parking. State law generally does not require you to replace parking lost to a garage conversion, but rules vary by property, so we confirm the rule for your address.
  • Utilities. We plan for power, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation and egress so the unit is legal and comfortable.
  • Permits. The City of Los Angeles handles permits through LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We prepare the plans and submit them.
  • Access. Narrow streets and slopes change how materials and crews reach the site, and we plan for it early.
Our Process

How an ADU project runs in Canoga Park

  1. Site visit and feasibility check (size, slab, utilities, setbacks)
  2. Design and drawings
  3. Permits and plan review
  4. Construction: framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, kitchenette and bath
  5. Final inspection and move in

Read our garage conversion vs. detached ADU guide and our ADU cost guide. Timing depends on the size of the project and how long permit review takes, and we share a written schedule after the site visit.
