BUILT AROUND THE WAY YOU LIVE
Start with the purpose. Then explore the possibilities.
An accessory dwelling unit is a significant property decision. Eternal Home Pros helps homeowners connect with independent local professionals to discuss intended use, evaluate existing conditions and understand the planning work needed before moving toward construction.
Garage conversions
An existing garage is a starting point for evaluation, not a guarantee of a simple conversion. Discuss structure, moisture protection, light, insulation and building systems with the appropriate professionals.
Space for changing needs
Share how you expect to use the space: family living, a guest arrangement or another long-term goal. Intended use helps guide the design conversation and questions about local requirements.
A THOUGHTFUL START
A better ADU project begins with better questions.
Every property is different. Ask qualified local professionals to confirm feasibility, applicable approvals and utility needs. This page is a starting point for planning, not a determination that a specific property qualifies.
- Who will use the space, and what do they need day to day?
- Are you considering a detached unit or an existing garage?
- What information is available about the property and utilities?
- How important are privacy, outdoor space and separate access?
- Does your budget include design, site work and contingency?

HELPFUL ANSWERS
ADUs & Garage Conversions: questions worth asking.
Can my San Diego property accommodate an ADU?
That requires a property-specific review. Site conditions, existing buildings, access, utilities and applicable local requirements all need to be considered by the appropriate professionals.
Is converting a garage always less expensive than building an ADU?
Not necessarily. The condition of the existing structure and the work needed to create a finished living space can substantially affect scope. Compare options after a professional evaluates the property.
Can I use an ADU for rental income?
If rental use is your goal, discuss it at the start. Confirm applicable rules, restrictions and operating considerations with qualified local advisers. Rental eligibility and income should not be assumed.
What happens after I request an assessment?
Share your location, intended use and any photos or existing plans. Eternal Home Pros can help connect you with independent professionals to discuss fit and next steps. Design, approvals, pricing and construction arrangements are confirmed directly with those professionals.
