Homeowners in San Fernando, located near landmarks like the historic San Fernando Mission and the Lopez Adobe, often look for practical ways to expand living space without sacrificing valuable yard area. Constructing an ADU above the garage is a strategic way to add square footage while utilizing the existing structure efficiently.
