ADU Builder in Carlsbad
Building an ADU involves more than finding enough space in the backyard.
The property, existing structures, utilities, access, site conditions, desired use and applicable requirements can all influence the project.
Cedar helps homeowners evaluate these considerations before moving deeply into design. Whether you're considering an independent backyard unit, an attached ADU or converting an existing garage, our goal is to help establish a clear path from feasibility through construction.

Considering a garage Conversion ADU
Existing garages can appear to provide a simple path to additional living space, but conversion involves more than adding interior finishes.
​
The existing foundation, framing, floor elevation, utilities, insulation, windows, access and other building components may need to be evaluated or modified.
Cedar approaches garage conversions by first understanding the existing structure and identifying the construction requirements likely to affect the project.
Residential Remodel
Whole-Home Remodeling in Oceanside
Sometimes the right property is already the one you own.
Whole-home remodeling can transform an existing residence through changes to layout, kitchens and bathrooms, building systems, structural components and finishes.
​
Cedar approaches these projects as one coordinated construction program rather than a collection of unrelated room renovations.
Home Additions
Expand the Home You Already Have
A residential addition can create the space a household needs without requiring a move.
​
Potential projects include primary suites, bedrooms, expanded living areas, home offices, guest accommodations and expanded kitchens.
​
Cedar coordinates the construction considerations necessary to integrate new space with the existing home.
Cedar Approach
Start with the Property
Before deciding what to build, understand what you're building on.
Cedar evaluates the property, existing conditions, project objectives and anticipated investment before establishing the construction approach.
That early planning can help identify potential challenges while design decisions are still flexible.
