Move Mom in
Two households start living inside one.
A third option for San Jose families
Before you put Mom in a home, look at your own backyard.
An ADU may let you keep her nearby without moving her into your house. ConnectADU helps you find out what is realistic on your property with one free builder conversation.

Free for homeowners • About 90 seconds • One builder
Why is it free? Participating builders pay ConnectADU for qualified introductions. You do not pay for the match or initial consultation.
Start with what your property can support
The option families miss
Most families are shown two choices. Neither feels right.
You can move Mom into your house, or move her into a facility. An ADU can create a third path on property your family already owns.
Move Mom away
Help and family life stay at a distance.
Build on your property
Keep family close and put the money into a home on land you already own.
Start with the property
Could an ADU for Mom work on your lot?
No generic price range can answer that. It depends on your lot, your budget, and how far along the project is.

- ✓No call swarmYour details are not sent to a list of contractors.
- ✓No cost to startThe project check and initial consultation are free.

What the first call is for
Get answers about the property before making the family decision.
Could an ADU work here?
Start with service area, access, setbacks, utilities, and the type of unit the property may support.
What will drive the cost?
Understand the big variables before treating a generic internet estimate like a quote.
What should happen first?
Leave with a sensible next action, whether that is feasibility, design, financing, or a site visit.
One introduction, not a lead blast
Talk to one builder about your property, budget, and next step.
Before an introduction, ConnectADU checks the builder's active CSLB license status, current insurance documentation, service area, and basic public reputation.
Important: These checks do not guarantee feasibility, price, approval, schedule, workmanship, or outcome. You should still review the contractor, proposal, references, and agreement yourself.

Questions families ask
Know what this is before you share anything.
Do we need to be ready to build now?+
No. Early-stage families can still book. Your answers help ConnectADU and the builder understand where the project stands; they do not block the calendar.
Will multiple contractors start calling us?+
No. The intended experience is one selected builder introduction, not a list of contractors competing for your attention.
Can Mom, Dad, or another family member join?+
Yes. The people affected by the decision and every property owner should join when possible.
Is the first call really free?+
Yes. Homeowners do not pay ConnectADU for the match or initial consultation. Participating builders pay ConnectADU for qualified introductions.
Is ConnectADU the contractor?+
No. ConnectADU provides the introduction. If you decide to move forward, you review, contract with, and pay the licensed contractor directly.
Does a match mean our project is approved?+
No. A conversation or match does not guarantee feasibility, permits, pricing, financing, schedule, workmanship, or any project outcome.
