Why Us for Soledad

We're local. Actually.

Our family-run team is based right here. Our factory sits in Salinas, 30 minutes from Soledad, and we have built across this region for years. When we say "local," we don't mean a sales rep who covers your area from somewhere else. We mean the people who design, build, and deliver your home are your neighbors.

That matters more than you'd think. When a planning department needs a clarification, we go in person. When an inspector flags something, we are there the same day. No phone tag, no road trips, no "we'll get back to you next week."

Soledad ADU FAQ

Questions about building in Soledad.

Soledad follows California state ADU law. For the full rulebook with citations, see our ADU Rules Lookup, the Monterey County ADU regulations guide, or the statewide California ADU laws 2026 overview.

How big can an ADU be in Soledad?
Soledad follows California state ADU law. Detached ADUs are allowed up to 1,200 sq ft under state law. Cities may cap size lower, but never below 850 sq ft (studio or 1 bedroom) or 1,000 sq ft (2+ bedrooms). Smaller lots may also qualify for a Junior ADU (JADU) up to 500 square feet. Our 14 models range from 405 to 1,200 square feet, and your free property analysis confirms exactly which sizes your lot allows.

What are the setback requirements in Soledad?
4 ft from side and rear property lines for new construction (0 ft for a conversion within an existing structure). Front setback follows the main home's zoning. We confirm the exact setbacks for your specific lot during the free site visit (step 3 of our process).

Do I need to add a parking space?
At most 1 space per ADU, with broad exemptions: within a half mile walking distance of public transit, when replacing a garage, and for conversions. Most lots qualify for an exemption. We verify your lot's parking situation as part of the feasibility study.

How much are Soledad ADU permit fees?
Permit and impact fees vary by city, ADU size, and utility connections. Your project price carries a permitting budget built in, and we handle every submission for you. Exact fees are set by your city and county and are itemized in your feasibility study.

How far is your factory from Soledad?
Our factory is in Salinas, about 30 minutes from Soledad. Soledad is well within our service area and we're ready to build for you.
