ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It's a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. ADUs can be attached to a home, within an existing home, or a detached structure on the property.
We start by discussing your ADU project over the phone to gather key details. The quote is based on factors like the ADU's size, design complexity, and site preparation needs in Baton Rouge or Shreveport. We then provide an estimate.
