Accessory Building vs. ADU: Two Different Projects

An accessory building is a garage, workshop, or storage structure with no kitchen or living plumbing. An ADU is a small detached home with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping space. The two get built, permitted, and priced differently. Knowing which one you want saves you a lot of confusion.

Here's where people get tangled up. Someone calls us wanting a detached garage, but they keep saying they might rent it out someday. That single sentence changes everything. A workshop with a slab, some outlets, and a roll-up door is one kind of remodel. A structure with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a stove is a different animal entirely, legally and structurally.

Lakewood has a lot of older lots with detached garages already sitting on them, some from decades back and never updated. Folks often want to replace one of those with something bigger for a workshop or storage. That's a straightforward accessory building remodel. Once you add plumbing for a kitchen or a shower meant for someone to live there full time, you've crossed into ADU territory. That means separate systems, separate inspections, and a longer permitting path.

We build both. Custom Garage and Workshop Construction and Custom ADU Construction are separate services for a reason; they solve different problems. If you're leaning toward a full living space, don't let a contractor treat it like a simple shed job. It isn't one, and the permitting process will remind you of that fast.
