Why Build an ADU?

Maximize Your Property Value

Adding an ADU in Downey is the most effective way to increase square footage and rental income. Our Class A, B, and C-8 licenses allow us to handle the full scope — including complex structural and civil work that most contractors cannot legally self-perform.

California's ADU laws have expanded dramatically since 2020. Reduced fees, streamlined permitting, and broader zoning approval mean your lot may qualify even if it previously didn't.

Serving Downey including Northeast Downey, Orange Estates, Downtown Downey and all surrounding areas.

Why Choose TDQ

The Only ADU Contractor with Class A Authority

Building an ADU in Downey requires more than a general contractor — it requires licensing authority to handle the civil and infrastructure components that most residential contractors cannot legally perform.

TDQ's Class A General Engineering license means we handle sewer laterals, utility connections, and site grading in-house — keeping your project on schedule under one accountable team.
