Turn unused space into something valuable. Our ADU builders in Los Angeles, CA create practical backyard and garage conversion ADUs designed for extra living space, family needs, or rental income. Contact us today to discuss your ADU project.
Team Champion Home Services works with homeowners across Los Angeles as a full-service ADU builder, managing design, permitting, and construction for accessory dwelling units on properties throughout the city. Los Angeles has some of the highest ADU demand in the state, driven by rental income potential and the need for flexible living space, and that demand comes with lot sizes and zoning rules that vary significantly from one neighborhood to the next.
As your accessory dwelling unit contractor, we start by reviewing your specific property lot dimensions, existing structures, and setback requirements before recommending whether a backyard ADU, a garage conversion ADU, or a fully custom ADU design & build is the right fit. From there, we manage LADBS permitting and construction as a single accountable team through move-in.
Custom ADU Design & Build: From floor plans to construction, we create ADUs tailored to your lot and needs.
Backyard ADU Construction: We build detached ADUs designed to fit Los Angeles properties and lot sizes.
Garage Conversion ADU: Convert an existing garage into comfortable living space while reusing the existing structure.
ADU Permitting Through LADBS: We prepare drawings and manage the permitting process with LADBS from submission to approval.
Utility & Systems Integration: We coordinate electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems for safe, independent ADU living.
We review your lot, existing structures, and goals to determine which ADU type fits your property.
We develop ADU plans and coordinate structural engineering to meet Los Angeles building code.
We prepare and submit permit documentation and manage communication with the building department through approval.
We coordinate final inspection and walk you through your completed ADU.
Los Angeles has specific ADU zoning and permitting rules that vary by lot and neighborhood, and that complexity is where an experienced ADU builder makes the biggest difference in keeping your project on track.
We’ve built ADUs for homeowners across Los Angeles, from the San Fernando Valley to the Eastside, South LA, and Mid-City areas where lot shapes, existing structures, and zoning overlays can differ block to block. That variety is why we treat every ADU project as its own design problem rather than a one-size-fits-all build, whether the goal is a garage conversion ADU on a compact urban lot or a detached backyard ADU on a larger Valley property.

If you’re looking for any new construction on your home or renovation, I strongly recommend Team Champion Home Services. For reasonable prices, they offer quality service. I especially love their attention to detail. I had them construct a new garage, patio, and patio cover. I’m very pleased with how all of it looks. Update: I was very pleased with the work they did on my garage and patio cover, that I've since hired them for more renovations. I needed a new retaining front wall and had them do the job. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. It's the first people see when passing by my house, so important to have this done well. I know I made the right choice for a contractor.Posted on Google Michael AmiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Team Champions Home Services and their crew have pleased me over and above my expectations. Not only in the work they perform, but also their attention to detail. They are in communication with me all the way through the job to its finish. David Cardenas has been wonderful to work with. He is honest and forthright in his business dealings. I definitely will use Team Champions again, and I give them my 100% endorsement. Mike AmiraPosted on Google Peter ChaniotakisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did a great job on our bathroom and kitchen. We are very happy with the work!Posted on Google Mark LivTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend David and his Team Champion Home Services team for any home project! I was building a Detached ADU from the ground up and had gotten multiple bids and was very glad I went with David. Once I had gotten my approved, original plans from my architect, I needed some supplemental plans that were outside of my original architect's field of expertise. David was there to handle technical communications with my original architect and his team picked right up to get my project the extra plans drafted and approved. Any home project of any size inherently will come with some anxiety and stress. David understands this and expels this anxiety and stress as he is great at explaining all processes and educating along the way. Not once during construction did I ever question whether or not did I get the wrong contractor for my project. This does not mean that my project never had any hiccups or unforeseen issues that needed to be addressed, because it did (and I honestly believe you should steer clear of anyone who promises you that they can carry out a project as big as this without mistakes). But whenever something did arise, David and his team would take the time to discuss what was going on and propose a solution. There was never any blaming, excuses or uncomfortable encounters. He is the most honest person in the line of general contracting work that I've dealt with and he will take ownership of problems and mistakes. Communication and speed were great and price was very amazingly reasonable. From start to finish, the ADU took about 9 months, but the actual build time by his contracting team for a 510 square foot detached ADU was only 4-5 months before all work that was under the responsibility of his team was completed. The rest of the time was waiting for other services like the electrical, gas and solar companies to come out to handle their parts. His team could have been done even quicker than 4-5 months, but as I mentioned before we had to juggle around supplemental plans that were missing. In addition to a brand-new build, Team Champion Home Services was also commissioned to replace my roof of my primary residence, upgraded my electrical panel and installed a residential sump pump- everything of which was quick but also great quality work. If you need something done for your home, go with David and Team Champion Home Services. You won't regret what you get and you won't regret the great experience.Posted on Google Enrique VasquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Their team is professional, dependable, and truly gets the job done rightPosted on Google Scott ClarksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Team was on time and easy to work with. Very clean and considerate of my home. No hesitation to use again.Posted on Google Jon CodispotiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started a painting and front porch area rejuvenation project that turned into a whole house re-stucco when i found i had failing stucco and termite damage all over. I had already sand blasted the whole house when I realized i was in over my head organizing all the needed trades to fix my house correctly. I hired Team Champion Home Services to take over everything for me as my general contractor instead. David and team did a wonderful job fixing my termite damage, redoing all my stucco with the latest acrylic product and mesh to prevent future cracks, re-painting all the wood siding and trim, and performing modifications to my front porch roof overhang and the side garage wall to clean them up and modernize my home's style some and improve overall curb appeal. His team was friendly and professional and did a good job cleaning up each day of the project. I'd highly recommend David and Team Champion Home Services for any job you have, large or small. They are pros in home construction and repair projects!Posted on Google Sean HealyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Team Champion for years. They are very responsive, get the job done, and do well every time! He is my go-to personally, and for other ventures I am in.Posted on Google Yolla ElkhoueiryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David and his team are great!! Knowledgeable, professional, fast and reliable, most importantly to me is that David is always available to answer questions or solve problems.Posted on Google Lee GoddenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired David as a general contractor to remodel our master bathroom (and parts of our adjoining master bedroom) based on our architect/designer's plans. (Our architect recommended David to us.) This was a big job. Step 1: demolition of interior walls, plumbing, and tiled shower and sunken tub; 2) construction of (new position) interior walls ready for pocket doors; 3) converting a sliding exterior door into a hinged door and replacement of bay and casement windows; 4) leveling bathroom/bedroom floor which had an existing tilt; 5) installing new custom-designed tile floor and shower, plus new wood floor in bedroom; 6) all associated plumbing and electrical work. David and his crew communicated well with us through this long process. Any issues were quickly dealt with. His price was reasonable. Would highly recommend. I've added eight before/after photos.
Rental income potential depends on the ADU’s size, location, and local rental rates, but ADUs are one of the most common ways LA homeowners add income-generating space to their property.
Qualification depends on lot size, setbacks, and existing structures. As your ADU builder, we assess this during the free consultation before recommending an ADU type.
Permit review timelines vary by project scope and current department workload; we factor this into your project schedule during pre-construction planning.
A garage conversion ADU is often the most practical option on smaller or narrower lots since it reuses existing structure rather than requiring new ground-up construction.
Yes, many Los Angeles homeowners build an ADU specifically for aging parents or adult children rather than as a rental unit.
