Your Trusted Local ADU Partner
Whether you picture a Spanish Colonial-style guest casita that matches your main residence or a discreet garage conversion for extended family, KN Remodeling is here to bring your ADU vision to life in Palos Verdes Estates.
Palos Verdes Estates was master-planned in the 1920s, and nearly every property here carries deed restrictions administered by the Palos Verdes Homes Association's Art Jury, on top of the City's own zoning and building review. An ADU almost always needs sign-off from both the Art Jury, for architectural design, materials, and site placement, and the City of Palos Verdes Estates Planning & Building Department, for setbacks, lot coverage, and safety. We prepare submittals for both tracks at once and design every ADU to complement the Peninsula's Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, and mid-century character, so your project moves through review without unnecessary delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing depends on the square footage, whether you are building a detached backyard cottage or converting an existing garage, and the interior finishes you choose. As a general guide for the Los Angeles area:
- Garage conversion or Junior ADU (JADU): roughly $90,000 to $150,000
- Detached custom ADU (500 to 800 sq ft): roughly $180,000 to $260,000
- Larger detached luxury ADU (800 to 1,200+ sq ft): $280,000 to $350,000+
Site prep for hillside properties, trenching long utility lines, or foundation upgrades can influence final costs. We provide a written, itemized estimate after your free in-home consultation so there are no vague allowances or surprise line items later.
Most detached ADU construction takes three to five months of active on-site work. Garage conversions can often be completed slightly faster, typically within two to four months.
- Architectural design, structural engineering, title-24 energy calculations, and city permit approval take place before breaking ground and typically add two to four months
- Custom elements like cabinetry, specialized roofing, and window packages require lead times, so we order them early
- You receive a clear written schedule at the start and regular updates throughout the build
We streamline every phase to ensure your project moves forward smoothly without unnecessary delays.

- All structural and construction work is backed by our written warranty
Yes, and in Palos Verdes Estates you'll need two approvals rather than one. The City handles zoning, setbacks, lot coverage, and building permits, while the Palos Verdes Homes Association's Art Jury separately reviews the exterior design, materials, and site placement of any new ADU under the community's 1920s deed restrictions. Both approvals are required before construction begins, and we prepare and submit for both at the same time to keep your timeline on track.
Palos Verdes Estates has a distinctive review process, so a few local factors are worth planning around:
- Dual Review: City permitting and PVHA Art Jury approval are both required, and neither substitutes for the other
- Architectural Character: Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, and mid-century styles are expected to be respected in new ADU design
- Neighborhood Compatibility Ordinance: larger projects can trigger an additional City Planning Commission hearing
- Generous Lot Sizes: most PVE lots comfortably accommodate a detached ADU once both reviews are complete
We evaluate all of these site-specific conditions during your free initial consultation.
