Where to Find Us
ADU Contractor San Jose · 1600 Component Dr, San Jose, CA 95131 — serving Cambrian Park
ADU Construction in Cambrian Park, San Jose
Cambrian Park is a classic mid-century San Jose neighborhood — single-story ranch and rambler homes on compact, well-kept suburban lots along Camden Avenue and the streets around it. Lot sizes here are more modest than in Almaden Valley or Evergreen, which makes a Junior ADU (JADU) within the existing footprint or an efficient garage conversion the most practical fit for many Cambrian Park homeowners, though a smaller detached unit can work on corner or larger lots.
We start every Cambrian Park project with a site evaluation to determine which ADU type actually fits your lot before committing to a design — there's no point drawing plans for a unit that won't clear setbacks. From there we handle design, permitting, and construction start to finish. Text us for a free consultation.
