what is a granny flat (accessory dwelling unit)

Usually designed for one or two persons, a granny flat is a self-contained living area usually located on the property of a single-family home. A granny flat can be detached, or it can be attached to the main dwelling. It is sometimes called a granny flat because it is a popular way for families to accommodate aging parents and sometimes provide additional rental income. 
In the building industry, the granny flat is most often known as an accessory apartment or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Other terms include granny pod, mother-in-law unit, in-law apartment, bonus unit, you get the idea.  Please click the link below to go to our ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) or Granny Flat page for additional information.

Rancho san diego custom kitchen remodel

With outdated cabinets and a layout that limited the use of the space this home was in need of a proper kitchen renovation/remodel.  From design to build the SoCal team was able to transform this kitchen and create the vision our client was looking for.  New cabinets, countertops, Viking & SubZero appliances.  We also reframed most of the walls and upgraded the plumbing, electrical and flooring.
