This business provided the passive income I was looking for.The monthly rent for my ADU is $2,650.The design is amazing, the construction was completed quickly, and the rental income
began right away.
Two months ago, I completed my ADU with the team.I gambled on these, and they really did deliver. The monthly rent for the unit is currently $2,600. It's essentially paying for itself, and the value of my house has increased.
Sincerely, we're thrilled with our new ADU! Our renters are really pleased with the design, which complements the house well. The best thing is that we receive additional revenue each month.
Their crew totally transformed our front yard, and they even added an ADU out back that fits in perfectly. It all looks amazing, and now we've got a little rental income coming in! Honestly, could be happier with how it all turned out.
My goal was to get an ADU built fast to start earning rental income. This company provided a true turnkey solution, handling every detail seamlessly. They completed the project on time.
Needed to get an ADU built fast to bring in some rental income, and these guys absolutely nailed it. They handled everything from start to finish, and the final build looks like it was always part of the house.

Remarkable ADU Transformations
Client's Challenge
We struggled for two years to figure out what to do with our front property space. Six months ago, we even hired a more expensive designer—but the ADU design just didn’t meet our expectations.
Result
Our experience with the OUTDOAR team exceeded expectations. The first ADU design was exactly what we envisioned. We were so impressed, we lined up a contractor within a week! We're excited to finally have a beautiful, functional space and to welcome guests with confidence.
