About Us

Sharon Haven, the driving force behind ADU Aces, is a life long resident of East County San Diego, and has a 25-year career in Land Use issues and Development. For over a decade, Sharon has represented private property owners’ interests and has dealt directly with County planning personnel in planning matters. Now she has assembled this team of professionals and has directed her attention to the only development available for much of East County – Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

Why Consider An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

For most of us, our homes are the single largest piece of our financial assets. And yet, when we retire, that home we love must be liquidated in order to provide security for our remaining years. What if it didn’t have to be that way? An Accessory Dwelling Unit on your residential property could provide that necessary element to ensure financial security without changing your way of life.

There are many other good reasons for an ADU on your property:

-A home for aging parents

-A home for a Caregiver

-A home for adult children

-And, very important:

Rental Income

Right now the County provides support to those attempting ADU development. They have waived many customary fees and even provide several basic dwelling plans. This generosity has a sunset date of 2024.

Why You Need ADU Aces

It takes a dedicated and experienced Team of professionals to design and build an ADU that blends in with your existing home, that is affordable, and which meets all County criteria.

East County, unlike the city, has unique challenges. They include septic limitations, topography, and sometimes environmental issues. You will need help negotiating the County labyrinth, and you may need or want something other than the County plans provide.

We can save you time, cost and the stress of dealing with it yourself.
