When the snow melts and spring arrives in Boulder, many homeowners start thinking about outdoor living space and potential income. An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, is a great way to achieve both. It's a second, smaller home on your property, like a backyard cottage or a basement apartment. Boulder's density, with about 3,937 people per square mile, means many properties have room for this expansion. The licensed pros we work with serve every neighborhood, from areas near the university to communities further into the foothills. They understand the unique building challenges and opportunities here. We make it simple to get clear, honest answers about adding an ADU. No pressure, just the information you need.

Building an ADU involves variables that shift your total investment. The footprint size and complexity of the architectural design are primary factors. Are you planning a detached unit that requires new utility trenching, or is this a garage conversion that uses existing plumbing? Site accessibility, soil conditions, and your choice of finishes—like luxury flooring versus standard options—also play significant roles. Permitting fees vary widely depending on your local municipality and current zoning requirements. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Getting an ADU quote is the process of defining exactly what you want to build based on your property’s layout. Costs typically range from thousands to tens of thousands depending on site prep, utility trenching, and finishes. We look at your land, current electrical capacity, and foundation requirements to provide a clear figure. This step helps you understand the investment needed before breaking ground.
