#1 ADU Contractor in Jurupa Valley
Custom Builds by Horizon Remodeling

Horizon Construction & Remodeling Inc. builds accessory dwelling units and home additions for homeowners across Jurupa Valley, handling design coordination, permitting, and construction under one general contractor. Many properties here sit on the larger semi-rural lots that came out of the area’s quarry and dairy past, which often gives us good room to work with. Because the city only incorporated in July 2011, original plans for most existing houses were filed with Riverside County, so we account for that permit history early when we apply through the City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department.

How Our ADU Process Works

When it comes to enhancing your living space, room additions combined with Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) construction offer unparalleled versatility and value. These projects not only increase square footage but also provide additional living accommodations, whether for extended family, rental income, or work-from-home setups, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking to maximize their property’s potential. According to California’s Department of Housing and Community Development, ADUs are a key solution to expanding housing options in urban and suburban neighborhoods.

If you are planning to add a secondary unit to your property, working with an experienced adu contractor in Jurupa Valley means understanding a regulatory picture that has more layers than most homeowners expect. California consolidated its ADU statutes into Government Code sections 66310 through 66342 in 2024, and those rules were updated again on January 1, 2026. Square footage is now measured as interior livable space rather than overall building area, and the reviewing agency has 15 business days to determine whether an application is complete and 60 days to issue an approval or denial. That approval is ministerial, meaning no public hearing and no discretionary design review.

For a property here, the application goes to the City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department. Because the city only incorporated on July 1, 2011, permit history and original construction documents for most existing homes were filed with Riverside County rather than with the city. That distinction matters when we pull records to verify setbacks, utility connections, and existing square footage before your project begins.

Riverside County maintains a Permit Ready ADU program offering four pre-approved plans ranging from a 499 square foot studio to a 909 square foot two-bedroom. Three of those plans fall below the 750 square foot threshold at which state impact fees apply. However, the program excludes parcels in flood hazard or environmental constraint areas, so confirming which maps your lot appears on is one of the first things we check.

The typical Jurupa Valley home is a single-story ranch house on a generously sized semi-rural lot, a layout that often provides real room for a detached unit. That extra lot depth is an advantage, though it also means utilities may need to run farther from the main house to reach the new structure.

State law preempts any local or county provision that is more restrictive, so a homeowner reading an outdated county handout may underestimate what is actually permitted on their parcel. We coordinate directly with the City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department, pull the relevant county history where needed, and make sure your project is designed to what the law currently allows rather than older rules that no longer apply.

Why Choose Horizon Remodeling As Your ADU Contractor in Jurupa Valley ?

Horizon Construction and Remodeling is a licensed Class B general building contractor, bonded, and has been doing design-build work since 2009. We handle the full process in-house: plans, permit submittal to the City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department, and construction. Because most homes in Jurupa Valley were permitted through Riverside County before the city incorporated in July 2011, tracking down original plans and permit history takes some digging, and we factor that into how we prepare your ADU application from the start.

The housing stock here, ranch-style single-story homes on generous semi-rural lots in areas like Rubidoux, Glen Avon, Mira Loma, and Pedley, often gives us real room to work with. We design around site-specific constraints including flood hazard zones, environmental overlays, and wind and heat loads, and we build to state law rather than assumptions.

A few protections California law provides regardless of your parcel: no owner-occupancy requirement for an ADU, no sprinkler retrofit required on the existing house, and no impact fees on a unit with 750 square feet or less of interior livable space.

ADU Contractor in Jurupa Valley FAQ

What is an ADU and why should I build one?

An ADU is a secondary unit on your property, such as a converted garage, backyard cottage, or in-law suite, and building one with Horizon Construction & Remodeling Inc. lets you add rental income, house extended family, or gain usable living space. On the spacious ranch-style lots common across Rubidoux, Mira Loma, and Glen Avon, there is often real room to work with.

Cost is shaped by factors we cannot assess from a description alone: the unit type, whether you are converting an existing structure or building new detached construction, the finish level you choose, and what your particular lot requires for site work and utility connections. That said, state law sets clear limits on what you can be charged. Any ADU with 750 square feet or less of interior livable space is exempt from impact fees. School fees apply only above 500 square feet. Connection fees for a conversion or junior ADU are capped because the state does not classify those as a new residential use, and adding an ADU cannot force a fire sprinkler retrofit on your existing home.

In Jurupa Valley, most homes predate the city itself, and their original permit records sit with Riverside County rather than with the City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department, which is where your ADU permit will be filed. We pull those older documents before we scope anything, because gaps in the recorded history can affect utility routing and setback verification on the larger semi-rural lots common across Rubidoux, Pedley, and Mira Loma. No contractor can give you a reliable fixed price without walking the property first. We do that site review before we quote. One point worth stating plainly: the CalHFA ADU grant program is closed and fully allocated, and the agency itself warns that anyone offering to help you obtain an ADU grant is running a scam.

Yes, an ADU always requires a building permit, though approval is ministerial rather than discretionary, meaning there is no hearing and no design review board to satisfy. Applications for properties in Jurupa Valley go to the City of Jurupa Valley Building and Safety Department, and because most homes here were permitted through Riverside County before the city incorporated in 2011, pulling original plans can take extra legwork. State law gives the agency 60 days to approve or deny, shortened to 30 days when a pre-approved plan is used. We prepare and submit the full package and see it through every inspection.

Most ADU construction projects take between 4 to 8 months from design to completion, depending on scope and permit approvals. Horizon Remodeling prioritizes efficient timelines while maintaining quality workmanship.
