ADU Construction in Stanton, CA

Serhal Builders builds ADUs in Stanton, including detached backyard units, garage conversions, attached ADUs and junior ADUs. Our office is in Fullerton, a short drive away.

Stanton allows ADUs and junior ADUs under its municipal code and California ADU law. Stanton’s homes are a little newer than many nearby cities, with a median build year of 1975, but about 65% still predate 1980, so we check the utilities early.

We’re a licensed, veteran-owned general contractor (CSLB #1074208) with more than 31 years in construction, and we’ve built ADUs throughout northern Orange County.

Every lot is different. These are the three ways most homeowners add a unit.

Detached ADU
Attached & JADU
Plans & Permits

Detached ADUs & Garage Conversions

A detached ADU gives you a separate backyard home with its own entry, kitchen and bath. A garage conversion reuses an existing structure and is often the most budget-friendly way to add a unit.

Attached ADUs & Junior ADUs

An attached ADU connects to your home but lives independently. A junior ADU is up to 500 square feet created inside your existing home, a good fit for family members who want their own space nearby.

Plans & Permits Your Way

Use our in-house design, our design partner, or plans you already have. We prepare the permit package, respond to plan-check comments and coordinate inspections until final sign-off.

Local Knowledge

What Stanton Homeowners Should Know

State law sets the floor – California ADU law applies citywide: qualifying ADUs get staff-level approval without a public hearing, and side and rear setbacks for new ADUs can't be more than four feet.
Older homes – Stanton's median home was built in 1975, and about 65% of homes predate 1980 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024). We check the main panel, sewer line and water service early, because tie-ins on older homes can change the plan.
Garage conversions – Converting an existing garage is often the most budget-friendly ADU, and state law generally doesn't let cities require replacement parking for it.
Rules change – ADU laws are updated almost every year, so we confirm the current requirements with the city before design starts.

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ADUs allowed in Stanton?

Yes. Stanton allows ADUs and junior ADUs under its local code and California ADU law. Your lot, utilities and any easements decide which type and size work best.

Will my older Stanton home need utility upgrades for an ADU?

Often. A second unit can push an older electrical panel, sewer line or water service past what it was built for. We check these on the first visit so any upgrade is in your budget from the start.

Do you work in all of Stanton?

Yes. We work throughout Stanton from our office in Fullerton.

Are you a licensed contractor?
Yes. Serhal Builders is a licensed California general contractor (CSLB #1074208). We're veteran-owned and family-run, with more than 31 years of construction experience.
Do you handle the plans and permits?
Yes. We can design your ADU in-house, work with our design partner, or build from plans you already have. Either way we prepare the permit package and handle corrections with the city.
Can I convert my garage into an ADU?
In most cases, yes. California law generally does not allow cities to require replacement parking when a garage is converted into an ADU. We check your specific property before design.
