Build an ADU in Monterey Bay

In the heart of Monterey Bay, where housing demand meets the desire for flexible living solutions, Jim Gish, Inc. stands as your premier partner for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Whether you’re envisioning a cozy backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or a modern in-law suite, our team brings decades of local expertise to turn your vision into reality.

Why You Should Build Your ADU Now

  • New 2025 California Laws Make It Easier Than Ever: Fast-tracked permitting, waived impact fees, and reduced setback requirements are designed to help homeowners build quickly and affordably.
  • Rental Income Potential is Surging: Due to Monterey County’s housing shortage, ADUs can command high rental rates— up to $3,500/month or more in many neighborhoods.
  • Your Property Value Will Increase! ADUs boost equity and long-term resale value.
  • Multi-Generational Living is on the Rise: Keep aging parents or young adult children close, without compromising privacy.
  • Tax Credits for adding Solar Power as part of your ADU build, and Energy-Efficient Financing Is Now Available: New green loan products can help you build smarter, with minimal upfront cost.
  • Demand Will Only Rise: The earlier you start, the faster you can finish—before costs or regulations shift again.

Don’t wait—permit queues and contractor schedules are filling fast!
