Attached ADUs integrate new living space directly into your existing home's structure, often through a garage conversion or an addition. This approach maximizes your property's footprint while providing a fully independent dwelling unit.
A detached ADU from Mighty ADU Company provides a completely separate living space on your property, including its own foundation, framing, utilities, and finishes. This creates a distinct, private residence ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.
Our garage conversion service transforms your existing garage into a fully functional living space, including structural modifications, utility extensions, and interior finishing. This creates valuable square footage for a new bedroom, home office, or rental unit, enhancing your property's utility and value.

Choosing Mighty ADU Company means partnering with a builder who understands Saratoga's unique character and regulatory landscape. We know the nuances of building within areas like the Golden Triangle or near Montalvo Arts Center, which often have specific setback requirements or design review considerations. Our local presence means we're familiar with the typical soil conditions and utility infrastructure in Saratoga, allowing for more accurate planning and fewer surprises during construction.
Our construction approach prioritizes structural integrity and long-term performance. We specify materials like high-performance insulation (e.g., closed-cell spray foam with an R-value of 6.5 per inch) for superior thermal envelopes, which means lower energy bills for your ADU. We also integrate robust waterproofing systems, including continuous exterior insulation and rain screens, to protect against moisture intrusion, a critical detail for structures built on slopes or near mature landscaping.
When you work with us, expect a structured, phase-by-phase project delivery. We start with a detailed site assessment and feasibility study, followed by architectural design and permitting support, navigating Saratoga's planning department requirements. Construction proceeds with regular progress updates and on-site meetings, culminating in a final walkthrough and comprehensive handover, ensuring every detail meets our rigorous standards and your expectations.
Saratoga homeowners can typically build an ADU up to 1,200 square feet or 50% of the existing primary dwelling's living area, whichever is less, for detached units. Junior ADUs (JADUs) are limited to 500 square feet within an existing single-family home. These dimensions are subject to lot coverage, setbacks, and other specific zoning overlays within Saratoga, such as those in the R-1-15 zone.
The ADU permitting process in Saratoga, including planning and building department review, typically takes 3 to 6 months from initial submission to permit issuance. This timeline can vary based on the completeness of your plans, the complexity of the design, and the current workload of the city's planning and building departments. Projects requiring design review or variances may extend this period.
Common utility connection requirements for a new ADU in Saratoga include separate electrical sub-panels, independent plumbing connections for water and sewer, and often a dedicated gas line. Depending on the existing infrastructure, upgrading the main electrical service panel for the primary dwelling might be necessary to support the additional load of the ADU. We coordinate with PG&E and local water/sewer districts to ensure compliant and efficient utility extensions.
