ADU Interior Finishing & Final Build-out in Palo Alto
Cabinets, flooring, fixtures, and final finish work that turns a framed shell into a move-in-ready home.
The Details That Make a Small Space Feel Complete
Interior finishing is where an ADU stops being a construction site and becomes a home — cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, plumbing and lighting fixtures, paint, and trim. In a compact ADU floor plan, finish choices matter even more than in a full-size house because every square foot has to work hard.
We help you choose finishes that maximize a small footprint — light colors, efficient storage, durable low-maintenance surfaces — while keeping the budget on the number we quoted, not creeping upward through the finish selection process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ADU interior finishing cost?
Finish work typically runs $35,000 to $80,000+ depending on finish level (standard vs. high-end) and unit size. We set fixed pricing per finish tier before work begins so there is no surprise creep.
Can I choose my own finishes?
Yes — we walk you through cabinet, countertop, flooring, and fixture options within your selected finish tier, and can source specific products you want.
How long does finish work take?
Interior finishing on a typical ADU takes 6 to 10 weeks after framing, insulation, and drywall are complete, depending on unit size and finish complexity.
Do you finish JADUs and garage conversions too?
Yes — we do finish work on every ADU type we build, including garage conversions and JADUs, sized appropriately to those smaller footprints.
