We’ve been building tiny homes, ADUs, and custom remodels for Laguna Niguel homeowners who are tired of vague quotes and contractors who disappear halfway through a project. Land here isn’t getting any cheaper, and more families are choosing to build up, build small, or build smart instead of moving out. Whether you need a backyard ADU for aging parents or a full kitchen remodel, we handle it start to finish. Call us at (213) 320-4079 and let’s talk through what’s possible on your lot.

We work with a wide range of Laguna Niguel homeowners, and honestly, the reasons people call us vary a lot. Some are parents in Niguel Summit or Bear Brand wanting to add an ADU so their adult kids can move back home without losing privacy. Others are retirees in Marina Hills looking to downsize into a park model or tiny home while keeping their main house as a rental.
We also hear from families near Crown Valley and Kite Hill who’ve outgrown their kitchen and need it opened up for real family life, not just a fresh coat of paint. Homeowners near Salt Creek and Ocean Ranch often come to us wanting a full addition instead of moving, since inventory here is tight and moving costs have gotten out of hand. And plenty of folks just want a second unit on the property to generate rental income, since Orange County rents keep climbing. Whatever brought you here, we’ve probably built something similar nearby.

We design and build tiny homes on wheels (THOWs) for Laguna Niguel clients who want mobility without sacrificing quality finishes. These run on a trailer chassis, so they skip some of the permitting hurdles a fixed structure requires. Most builds take 4-6 months and range from 200 to 400 square feet, custom-fitted to how you actually live.
Park models give you more square footage than a THOW, usually 400-600 square feet, and work well for a permanent guest house or downsizing situation. We build these to ANSI 119.5 standards, which is the industry code specific to park model construction. They're a great middle ground between a tiny home and a full ADU.
ADUs are far and away our most requested service in Laguna Niguel right now, thanks to California's SB 9 and SB 13 legislation making them easier to permit. We design detached, attached, and garage-conversion ADUs that add real value and rental income. Most projects run 6-10 months from design to move-in, depending on HOA review timelines.
For clients wanting a full custom or prefab home, we manage everything from initial design through final inspection. Prefab construction shortens build time significantly since major components are built off-site while we handle your foundation and site prep in parallel. Custom builds take longer but give you complete control over layout and materials.
Home additions and whole-home remodels are common requests from families who've outgrown their space but love their neighborhood too much to leave. We handle structural work, permitting, and design together, so you're not managing three different contractors. Most additions take 3-5 months depending on scope and HOA approval.
Comfortable, private space for family members. Our granny flat builds keep loved ones close and independent.
Full remodels touch nearly every room and often include structural, electrical, and plumbing updates. We coordinate every trade so you're not managing multiple contractors yourself. Timelines typically run 3-6 months depending on scope.

Kitchen and bathroom remodels are usually our fastest turnaround projects, typically 4-8 weeks for a full gut-and-rebuild. We handle plumbing relocation, electrical updates, and finish selection, and we're upfront about what's structural versus cosmetic before we start. These remodels tend to have the best return on investment of anything we build.

A lot of Laguna Niguel sits on canyon terrain, especially around Bear Brand and East Ridge, and that means grading and drainage engineering matter more here than in flatter cities. We've dealt with enough hillside lots to know which soil reports raise red flags before you've spent a dime on design. Skipping this step is how projects blow their budget.
Communities like Niguel Summit, Marina Hills, and Rancho Niguel have architectural review boards that scrutinize everything from roofline pitch to exterior paint color. We prepare and submit these packages as part of our process, because getting rejected after your permit's already filed costs you months. It's honestly one of the biggest reasons clients hire us over a general contractor.
Laguna Niguel sits close enough to the coast that certain code overlays and Title 24 energy requirements apply differently than they would inland. We build to CALGreen standards as a baseline, so you're not caught off guard during final inspection.
Land in Laguna Niguel has gotten expensive enough that adding a unit to your existing lot often makes more financial sense than buying elsewhere. We've seen ADU requests roughly double over the past few years for exactly this reason. It's become less of a niche request and more of a mainstream one.
We walk your property, check zoning, HOA restrictions, and soil conditions before quoting anything.
Our team drafts plans, handles HOA submissions, and files with the county so you’re not stuck navigating bureaucracy alone.
We build to the agreed timeline with scheduled check-ins, not surprise change orders.
We walk the finished space with you, point out where everything is, and handle any punch-list items before we call it done.
If you’re outside this list, call us at (213) 320-4079, we may still be able to serve your area.
Pricing depends heavily on scope, and we'd rather give you real numbers than make you guess. ADUs in the Laguna Niguel area typically run $150,000 to $400,000, depending on square footage, finish level, and whether it's detached or a garage conversion. Tiny homes on wheels usually land between $60,000 and $150,000. Park models run $80,000 to $180,000.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels vary the most based on layout changes, running $25,000 to $90,000. Whole home additions typically start around $100,000 and scale up from there depending on square footage and structural complexity.
Hillside lots, HOA review requirements, and custom finish selections all affect final cost, and we walk through these factors during your site visit. We provide an itemized quote before any contract is signed, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
The most accurate way to get your Laguna Niguel project number is a free on-site consultation. Call (213) 320-4079 and we’ll schedule yours within 48 hours.
Permitting typically takes 8-12 weeks through the county, plus additional time for HOA architectural review if your community requires it. We file everything and track the status so you're not stuck calling the county yourself.
Most Laguna Niguel HOAs do require some form of review, even for a THOW, since it's a visible structure on your property. We check your specific HOA's CC&Rs before we design anything.
Under California's SB 9 and SB 13, most lots can support an ADU up to 1,200 square feet, though your specific lot's setbacks and hillside grading may reduce that. We confirm exact allowable size during the feasibility visit.
Yes, we're a licensed and insured contractor operating throughout Orange County, including all HOA-governed communities in Laguna Niguel.
Most Laguna Niguel kitchen remodels run $25,000 to $90,000, depending on whether you're relocating plumbing, changing the layout, or keeping the existing footprint.
Many of our clients use home equity loans, construction loans, or cash-out refinancing to fund these projects. We don't provide financing directly, but we can point you toward lenders familiar with ADU construction.
A park model is typically built off-site to ANSI 119.5 standards and delivered to your property, while an ADU is a permanent structure built on a foundation to full residential code. ADUs generally add more resale value, while park models are faster and less expensive.
