ADU Construction

Additional living space, done right.

An accessory dwelling unit adds real value and living space to a property, but it's a full construction project — foundation through roofing. As a licensed Class B general contractor, Raptis Roofing takes on ADU construction in Merced from the ground up, including the roof itself.

Why an ADU

What an accessory dwelling unit is for.

An ADU adds real, permanent living space to a property — a place for aging parents, adult children, a home office, or a rental unit that adds income. Because it's a separate structure (or a converted existing one) rather than an addition to the main house, it comes with its own set of planning, permitting, and construction considerations from the start.

The Process

From planning to move-in.

ADU construction generally moves through design and permitting, foundation work, framing, roofing, and interior finishing — the same phases as any ground-up structure, just at a smaller scale. Because permitting and zoning requirements vary by property, that's usually the first real conversation in any ADU project, well before construction itself begins.
