ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Transforming Los Angeles Homes, One by One.
An attached ADU is a unit that is connected to the main residence but has its own entrance and living area. It can be an extension of the current structure or situated above a garage.
Types of ADUs Allowed
• Attached ADU
• Detached ADU
A detached ADU is an independent structure separate from the main residence. It is usually situated in the backyard and equipped with essential amenities, offering complete autonomy.
• Junior ADU
A Junior ADU is a compact, self-contained unit within the primary residence. It has its own entrance, bathroom, and kitchenette, but it could also share facilities (like a bathroom or bedroom) with the main house.
Note: Detached ADUs are typically single-story structures. However, if you’re contemplating adding a new second story to an attached or Junior ADU at Mayan Home Builders, it must undergo an architectural review process.
Los Angeles ADU Construction Requirements at a Glance
While ADUs offer significant potential as investments, they require thoughtful consideration. Before starting this journey, it’s essential to understand the requirements and regulations to ensure compliance with the Los Angeles Building codes.
Here’s a summary of what you should know about Los Angeles ADU projects:
-
Here are the size limitations for ADUs at Mayan Home Builders in Los Angeles:
-
Detached ADUs: Up to 1200 square feet, with a maximum of two bedrooms and one bathroom.

-
JADUs: Limited to 500 square feet.
-
In terms of Lot Coverage: ADUs and JADUs are subject to lot coverage, Floor Area Ratio (FAR), and open space requirements. However, they must still allow for compliance with City development standards. This ensures that your property maintains a balanced and harmonious design while maximizing its potential.
Maximum ADU Floor Area
-
Kitchen: A separate kitchen equipped with a permanent range, counters, refrigerator, and sink is required.
-
Bathroom: Separate bathroom facilities are necessary, with a limit of one bathroom per ADU. Junior ADUs may share a bathroom with the main residence. This ensures that each unit maintains its functionality and independence while providing comfort and convenience.
Room Requirements
In Los Angeles, no additional parking spaces are required for an ADU or JADU at Mayan Home Builders. If a garage or covered parking structure is demolished or converted into an ADU, there’s no need to replace those off-street parking spaces. This allows for more flexibility in your property design and utilization.
Parking Space Requirement
For both detached and attached ADUs at Mayan Home Builders in Los Angeles, a minimum of 3-foot side and 4-foot rear yard setbacks are mandatory. On corner lots, the street-side setback must be at least 15 feet. In the case of Junior ADUs, ensuring an adequate setback for fire safety compliance is crucial. This ensures that your property adheres to safety standards while maximizing its potential.

I considered multiple contractors from which I selected Done Right. They listened well and came up with a great room addition design using their in-house designer. Throughout the project, they were very responsive and proved to be masters problem solvers. I recommend Done Right as a general contractor company.

My remodeling project was initially scoped out and an accurate estimate was provided. We then worked with a design person and went through three iterations of renderings to get to the final design. What I really liked is that Done Right Builders and Remodeling is a company that has a cadre of craftsman as specialists in their craft.

I recently did an entire remodel with Jonathan, new floors, walls, entirely new shower and bathroom and new kitchen And I could not be happier. This is my 3rd overall remodel but my first time working with Jonathan and I can safely say that he is a cut above the rest. The attention, the level of care, the professionalism and the quality of the work is the best I have experienced and I would never do a remodel with anyone else! I am so appreciative, I feel like having Johnny on this project took an enormous weight off my shoulders and im truly grateful. Even when things came up as they always do, Johnny new how to keep my stress at bay, he always took responsibility and fixed whatever problems needed fixing no questions asked. I highly highly highly recommend that you choose Johnathan for any remodel you have.... he truly is, one of a kind!

We initially contacted Mayan for our ADU
So we met with Jonathan, His good vibes and professionalism are what closed the deal for us !! We've decided to remodel our bathroom while we are waiting for our permits.
This was a great decision to make, Because we've got to see the quality of work on a smaller project before moving on to a more complicated and longer one.
The job was done so fast!!!
the workers were super professional nice and made sure to leave everything clean at the end of each day.
Johnathan was there for us for every question or concern helped us with the design & choosing the material.
Can't wait to get the permit and start the new project with him.
Definitely recommended!!!
