ADU Builder in Watsonville, CA
Ground-up construction for accessory dwelling units — framed and built by the same crew that frames Watsonville's decks and additions.
ADUs have become one of the more requested projects in the Pajaro Valley over the past few years, as more homeowners look for rental income or space for family without buying a second property. Building one is a ground-up construction project in miniature: foundation, structural framing, roof system, siding, windows, doors, and interior finish — all on a compressed footprint where every framing decision matters more because there's less room to hide a mistake.
This is where Double Y Framing's core trade — structural framing — carries the most weight. An ADU's framing has to meet the same seismic and moisture-management standards as a full custom home, on a smaller structure, often close to an existing house or property line.
We frame ADUs the same way we frame anything else: to the stamped plans, accounting for coastal moisture, and built so the rest of the trades have a square, solid structure to finish out.
