Sixth Street ADU Project

The Sixth Street project was designed to help the homeowner maximize their property's potential through a significant residential expansion. The project included approximately 700 square feet of new living space added to the existing home, along with a 500-square-foot detached Accessory Dwelling Unit and an attached two-car garage of approximately 500 square feet.

The homeowner's primary objective was to create additional living space while developing a separate ADU that could generate rental income and help offset their mortgage. Through careful planning and quality construction, CoreFrame Builders transformed the property into a more functional, valuable, and income-producing investment.

The homeowner wanted to expand their existing residence while adding a detached ADU that would provide long-term flexibility and an additional source of rental income. Every aspect of the project was planned to improve the property's functionality without compromising structural integrity or long-term performance.

Beyond creating additional square footage, the project focused on delivering durable construction, code-compliant improvements, and thoughtfully designed spaces that would continue serving the homeowner's needs for years to come.

One of the most significant challenges emerged after construction began. The team discovered evidence of a previous kitchen fire that had been concealed during earlier work, leaving hidden structural damage that the homeowner was unaware of.

In addition to reconstructing the affected structural framing, the project required extensive foundation repairs after portions of the existing foundation were found to be deteriorating and crumbling. CoreFrame Builders carefully repaired and reinforced these areas, rebuilt damaged structural components to current building code requirements, and ensured the entire structure was safe, stable, and prepared to support the new addition and detached ADU.

To provide long-term performance and maintain consistency with the existing home, the project utilized durable residential construction methods and materials throughout.

Construction included:

Conventional wood framing
Engineered roof truss system
Exterior stucco finish
Composition shingle roofing
Professionally finished residential interiors

These materials were selected to create a cohesive appearance while providing the strength, durability, and performance expected from a high-quality residential construction project.

Completed approximately two years ago, the Sixth Street project successfully transformed the property through a thoughtfully planned home addition, detached ADU, and attached garage. By overcoming hidden structural damage and repairing the deteriorating foundation, CoreFrame Builders delivered a safe, code-compliant, and fully functional residential expansion built for long-term value.

Today, the homeowner benefits from approximately 700 square feet of additional living space, a 500-square-foot detached ADU, and a 500-square-foot attached two-car garage. The completed ADU provides new opportunities for rental income while increasing the property's overall functionality, versatility, and investment potential.
