ADUs & Garage Conversions in Palo Alto
Backyard ADUs and garage conversions — plans, permits, and rental-ready builds.
Trusted adus & garage conversions for Palo Alto homeowners
When Palo Alto homeowners need adus & garage conversions, they call VDC Construction. Palo Alto homes range from protected Professorville Craftsmans to Eichlers in Midtown and Barron Park — each with its own rules. We navigate the city's strict design review and single-story overlay guidelines so your project gets approved and built without stalling.
California's ADU laws have made the backyard one of the best investments in the Bay Area — a detached ADU or garage conversion can add serious value and $2,500+ a month in rental income. The city process is where ADU projects go to die, and that's exactly the part we own: plans, utility connections, setbacks, and every inspection.
We build detached new-construction ADUs, garage conversions, and attached units — turnkey, from the first site check to the certificate of occupancy.
We work throughout Palo Alto — from Old Palo Alto, Professorville, Midtown, Barron Park, Crescent Park to the homes near Stanford University and University Avenue. Because we've served Santa Clara County for over 11 years, we know the area's homes, common system types, and what Palo Alto's climate demands of them.
