ADU
Accessory Dwelling Units are stand-alone structures and are separate from your main home, providing additional living space while maintaining privacy. These are often used for a variety of purposes, such as guest houses, rental units or even home offices. Our ADUs are designed to blend seamlessly with your property's aesthetics and are constructed using high-quality materials backed by manufacturer warranties. We have several standard floorplans and designs for detached ADUs that you can use, as well as fully custom options.

Garage Conversion
Don’t have a lot of room on your property but have a detached or attached garage that you think would make a great living space? Transform your underutilized garage into a functional, stylish living space with our garage conversion services. We can help you create a comfortable and practical ADU by maximizing the available space and incorporating modern design elements.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Backyard Blueprint o scope out a potential ADU project. Matthew and Nathan were very knowledgeable and kind. They explained things in a way I could understand and so could my mom. They listened to our needs and provided multiple options. They were not pushy and were obviously focused on our needs and making us happy. This is obviously something they love doing and it shows in their work. If you have the interest in having an ADU built or aren't sure if it's for you I strongly recommend Backyard Blueprint. They are a no pressure, kind, knowledgeable and passionate team here
