Looking for adu construction in Menlo Park? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving Menlo Park and the surrounding Peninsula — from Allied Arts, West Menlo Park, Sharon Heights 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 Menlo Park specifically, it comes down to local realities: Menlo Park's west-side estates and Stanford-adjacent wealth support whole-home remodels and custom builds — the market expects flawless execution and discreet, well-managed projects. Menlo Park's review is thorough, with attention to neighborhood compatibility and trees; the high-value west side expects polished, complete design packages. We design and permit your adu construction around exactly those conditions.
