What are Shell ADUs?

A Shell Accessory Dwelling Unit, or shell ADU, is a unique concept that brings the best of both worlds — ready-to-finish construction with the flexibility to personalize. These structures are designed and built to a "shell" stage, providing a solid foundation, walls, roof, windows and essential utilities. However, the interior is left unfinished, allowing you to customize the space according to your needs and style preferences.

At Anchored Tiny Homes, our expertise and commitment to excellence make us the go-to shell ADU contractors. Let’s delve into the world of shell ADUs, explore their benefits, and highlight why Anchored Tiny Homes is the perfect partner for your building project.

Shell ADUs come with a host of advantages making them an enticing choice for homeowners seeking additional living space:

  • Cost-effective solution. By providing a pre-built structure, shell ADUs save you time and money. You avoid the extensive labor costs associated with traditional construction.
  • Personalization. Customize the interior of your shell ADU to match your lifestyle and preferences. The possibilities are endless, whether it's a guest suite, home office, or rental unit.
  • Faster completion. Since the exterior construction is taken care of, shell ADUs can be finished faster compared to building from scratch.
  • Energy efficiency. Shell ADUs can be designed with energy-efficient features, such as insulation and high-quality windows, ensuring a comfortable living space year-round.
Who Are Shell ADUs For?

Shell ADUs are a versatile option suitable for a wide range of individuals and scenarios:

  • Homeowners. If you want to add space to your property for guests, family members, or even extra rental income, a shell ADU is an excellent choice.
  • Remote workers. With the rise of remote work, a shell ADU can become a tranquil home office away from the main house, fostering productivity and focus.
  • Investors. Entrepreneurs seeking to capitalize on the growing demand for rental properties can create a customizable living space that appeals to tenants.
  • Multigenerational living. Shell ADUs provide the perfect solution for elderly family members who want to maintain their independence while being close to loved ones.

  • Caleb Davis
    I know the folks at Anchored Tiny Homes. They work with every situation to find and facilitate the best possible solution, and their offerings are so diverse they have a great option for almost anyone imaginable. Their integrity is the best part. So many contractors are just out to get your money and don't care about doing a good job or serving with honesty. Not so with Anchored Tiny Homes! They're upfront about what they know and what they can do, and honest about what they don't. I'd recommend Anchored Tiny Homes to any friend.
  • Bobbie Bice
    So grateful for anchored tiny homes what a blessing this company is!
  • Jennifer Sabolcik
    We had a fantastic experience with Duran and his team! They built the pool house of our dreams, and it exceeded our expectations. They listened to our design ideas, drew up a great plan, and were open to adding all the extras we wanted: electrical upgrades, floor upgrades, extra windows, exterior design details, a great front porch with a wood ceiling…the list goes on. We are greatly enjoying our new space. Duran and his team worked very fast and we were done in about 3 months.
  • Sheila Shatzer
    These guys are Great! Even in spite of some serious challenges that caused a number of delays on our side, they didn't give up on us. Once we had our biggest hurdle completed they have been getting things done quicker than I thought they'd be able to. They keep us updated and are easy to contact. Jim Sanders has been great to work with, even in spite of some of my frustrations that were not his fault that probably drove him nuts. I would recommend them to anyone looking to add a small home in their backyard. A great option for aged parents. We sold our home and are building this home in our son's huge backyard so we are closer and I, as his caregiver can have some help with my husband. Please reach out to them and see what will work for your needs - lots of options. ❤️
  • Anna Barrett

  • Dillan Bryant
    Sam and Dillon are the best... these guys communicate well, know their stuff and moved very quickly.

  • Callen Scaroni
    ATH finished up a custom studio for me about 3 weeks ago. The permitting took longer than expected but they stayed on top of it and let me know what was going on throughout the whole process. My in-laws just moved in and couldn’t be more happy with the unit! I would high recommend!!
  • Rodrigo Vega
    From the initial phone call to completed Project. Anchored Tiny homes has always been very easy to communicate with, and has exceeded all of my expectations for a contractor.

  • Andrew Gonzalez
    Jim and his team at Anchored Tiny Homes are absolute professionals and i highly recommend them.

You can have other tiny home builders compete, and you'll find that Anchored stands above the rest. I have full confidence recommending Anchored Tiny Homes to anyone I know. I love them
  • Mike Meduri
    Steve and his team took the time to assist with my inquiry of building a potential 2B/1B ADU with a 2 car garage. Steve went above and beyond to call the planning and zoning department to see if this was possible, provided me 3D modeling plot plans and was quick to respond to all my questions. Ultimately, the town would not approve the proposed project. Despite the unfortunate outcome, Steve and his team left me impressed with their professionalism and I would recommend their services.Thank you.
