​​6. Will building an ADU increase the value of my home?
Yes, building an ADU can increase your property’s value by adding more livable space and rental potential. It’s a great way to maximize your property’s value and generate passive income if you choose to rent out the unit.

​
9. How do I handle utilities and infrastructure for my ADU?
Adding an ADU may require adjustments to your property’s infrastructure, such as water, electricity, and sewage systems. SE Builders works with experienced subcontractors to ensure that your ADU is properly connected to existing utilities.
