Benson ADU Builders is the ADU company Maywood homeowners call when they want a written price before any work starts. Our crews work on the small, dense lots that define this city, where a 5,400-square-foot parcel often means the difference between a detached unit and a garage conversion comes down to inches. Call (903) 568-7222 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a plan you can actually read. Led by Troy Eastman, we build with prefab brands you can research yourself: Abodu, Cover, Dvele, and Mighty Buildings.
Why Maywood Homes Are Different
Maywood’s housing stock was largely built between the 1920s and 1950s, which means most lots measure around 50 by 112 feet. That’s tighter than what you’ll find in Bell or South Gate, and it changes everything about ADU and addition design. A setback – the required distance between a structure and the property line – often decides whether a detached ADU fits at all, or whether a JADU (junior ADU, a unit converted from existing space inside the primary home) is the smarter route. Stucco over wood framing is the standard exterior here, so matching new construction to an existing home takes a careful eye. The water table in this part of Los Angeles County also sits high enough that foundation drainage plans matter more than people expect. We account for that before we mark a single stake.
Our Main Maywood Services
Most Maywood homeowners come to us for one of two reasons: they want a separate living unit on their lot, or they need more room inside the house they already own. Below are the three services we handle most often in this city.
ADU Builders in Maywood
A detached ADU in Maywood usually takes the form of a one-bedroom unit in the rear yard, set back from the main house and tied into the existing sewer line. Because so many Maywood lots are narrow, we spend extra time on layout – sometimes a prefab panel system from Cover or Dvele makes more sense than site-built framing, because the panels arrive cut to spec and go up faster in a tight yard. ADU Builders in Maywood covers the full process, from measuring the lot to final inspection.
Home Addition Contractor in Maywood
A home addition in Maywood usually means expanding the footprint of the house itself – extending a kitchen, adding a family room, or building up for a second story. Older Maywood homes often sit on raised foundations, which is good news: it makes tying a new foundation to the existing one cleaner than on a slab. You’ll find specifics on what we can and can’t do with Maywood’s lot sizes on the Home Addition Contractor in Maywood page.
Room Addition Contractor in Maywood
A room addition is a smaller job than a full home addition – one bedroom, one bathroom, or a widened living space, usually attached to the existing structure. On Maywood’s smaller lots, a room addition often uses space that’s already there: a covered porch, an underused side yard, or a garage corner. The Room Addition Contractor in Maywood page walks through what’s typical for this city.
