Looking for adu construction in Los Gatos? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving Los Gatos and the surrounding Silicon Valley — from Almond Grove, Downtown Los Gatos, Monte Sereno-adjacent and beyond. Detached, attached, and garage-conversion ADUs — rental income and family space, fully permitted.
Accessory Dwelling Units are the single best way to add value, income, or multigenerational space to a Bay Area property — and California's pro-ADU laws have made them faster to approve than almost any other project. A well-built ADU can rent for thousands a month, house family with independence, and — under California's new AB 1033 — even be sold separately like a condo where your city adopts it.
For Los Gatos specifically, it comes down to local realities: Los Gatos pairs a protected historic downtown (Almond Grove) with hillside estates — both carry design-review scrutiny, so preservation and approval skill matter as much as build quality. Los Gatos applies historic-district review in the Almond Grove and hillside standards in the foothills; the town expects context-sensitive design and thorough drawings. We design and permit your adu construction around exactly those conditions.
