We're not an ADU company.
We're ADU people.
ADU PALS was founded on the idea that most San Diego homeowners are one well-designed backyard away from a better life. Everything we've built since has been in service of making that true.
A second home.
For every backyard that can hold one.
Housing at the backyard scale
California needs 2.5 million new homes. We can't build our way out with towers alone. ADUs add density inside existing neighborhoods.
Homeowner wealth, unlocked
A well-built ADU is the single highest-leverage move most San Diego homeowners have available. Extra income. Family flexibility. Real equity.
Honesty as a feature
Our first deliverable is a report, not a pitch. If your lot doesn't pencil, we'll tell you. If it does, you'll know why — in numbers.
Local, not national
SD County is our map. We don't dilute attention across four states — and it shows in how fast our permits move.
A small team.
One accountability.
ADU PALS stays small on purpose. Every client talks to the same people — and leadership is still in every project meeting that matters.

Managing Member
Jonathan built ADU PALS around a simple thesis — that most San Diego homeowners are one well-designed backyard away from a better life. He leads strategy, investor relationships, and the projects that push the template.
Greg Martin

Chief Financial Officer
Wangzhong keeps the numbers honest — for us and for our clients. He built the CFR methodology the Property Potential Report is based on, and he sits in every investor proforma review personally.
