ADU Construction in Loomis

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) adds a complete, permitted living space on the lot you already own: room for aging parents or grown kids, a home office, or rental income that helps cover the mortgage. TDI^® builds ADUs in Loomis and across Placer County, and manages each project from the first site review to the final inspection under one contract.

ADUs we build in Loomis

• Detached ADUs, a standalone backyard cottage with its own foundation, kitchen, bathroom and entrance
• Attached ADUs, a new unit built onto the existing home with its own entrance
• Garage conversions, turning an attached or detached garage into a full living unit
• Junior ADUs, up to 500 square feet carved out of existing space inside the home, with an efficiency kitchen and a separate entrance
• Above-garage units, where the lot and local rules allow it

Building an ADU in Loomis

Loomis is a small Placer County town with a rural character, homes on larger parcels, and properties on wells and septic systems outside the town center.

Many Loomis parcels have the room for a detached ADU set well back from the main house. On larger lots we look at access for equipment, the length of utility runs and, where the property is on a well or septic system, whether the system can serve a second unit or needs an upgrade. The county’s environmental health review is part of the permit path when septic is involved.

Newer homes usually have more electrical and plumbing capacity to work with, which can simplify the utility connections for a new unit. We still verify the panel size and the sewer and water connections before design is final.

Foothill properties see hot summers, more winter rain than the valley floor, occasional snow at higher elevations, and wildfire-area building rules for exteriors. We design ADUs to California Title 24 energy standards, with insulation, window placement and a properly sized heating and cooling system so the unit stays comfortable year round.

How an ADU project works with TDI^®

1. Site and zoning review. We look at your lot, setbacks, utilities and access before anything is drawn, so the design fits what can be permitted.
2. Design and drawings. We coordinate floor plans and construction drawings sized to your goals and budget.
3. Permits and plan check. We submit the application to the Town of Loomis building department, answer plan check comments and track the permit through approval.
4. Construction. Foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC, insulation to Title 24, then drywall, cabinets, fixtures, flooring and finishes.
5. Final inspection and walkthrough. We close the permit and walk the finished unit with you, so you have a legal, insurable, rentable space.
