ADU Builders California

Prior to the completion of this ADU unit specifically built for my in-laws, the team's enthusiasm for incorporating accessibility features won us over. The designer of the company preemptively asked us if we were incorporating aging-in-place features, even before we brought them up. Instead of merely suggesting a roll-in-shower, they preemptively thought of the rest of the bathrooms layout and designed it in such a way that it could be wheelchair-accessible in the future; even incorporating blocking in the walls for grab bars, a sink that has clearance for wheelchair users, and walls that do not go lower in height than 32'' (for accessibility purposes). They were always advocating for 36'' doors to be used throughout, and for there to be a zero-step entry from the patio to the rest of the home. The crew also entertained my father-in-law as he visited the site and was too animated, explaining everything to him in detail, involving him to motivate him. The space is beautifully designed, and a safe, long-term home that will support them for the coming decades. The company definitely cares for the long-term human use of their buildings and is not solely concerned with the short-term construction. They have genuinely designed with the family of their clients in mind and for that we are forever grateful.

I’m not usually the type to leave reviews. Honestly, who has the time? But hey, here I am. After my husband passed away last year, the house felt way too big and way too empty. Plus, the bills, don’t even get me started. My daughter kept suggesting about building an ADU so I could rent out the main place. At first, I was just overwhelmed. Renovations? Decisions? No thanks. But the folks at ADU Builders California were actually incredible. I mean, Dave basically adopted me. The man has the patience of a saint, he walked me through every single choice, even when I lost my mind and swapped out the flooring THREE times. And when all those loan docs started looking like ancient Greek, Dave literally sat next to me and my banker for TWO hours until it all made sense. Fast forward, and now I’m chilling in my own little 1-bedroom that’s just right, and the rent from the main house pays for everything. Seriously, these people gave me my life back. If you’re on the fence, just call them.

I live near mountains with a beautiful view and needed a legal rental unit on my property for extra income. ADU Builders California clearly explained the costs and timelines. I appreciated their honesty about things I shouldn’t skimp on, like waterproofing and windows. The inspections went well, and I received weekly updates with photos. Within a month of finishing, I had a tenant move in. The rental income has already made a big difference for me.

We considered moving to a bigger house, but prices are crazy. Instead, we added an ADU in the backyard for extra space. The company explained everything clearly, from budget to inspections. I appreciated that they didn’t pressure us into upgrades we didn’t need. We chose mid-range finishes, and the place still looks modern. Our teenage son already moved his desk in and calls it his apartment, though we plan to use it for family visits.

My husband and I had been researching getting into real estate investing for quite some time, but the state of housing prices in California made it seem completely out of reach to buy a second home. We even considered tapping into equity in our current home to use as a down payment, but upon crunching the numbers, it simply wasn't working out — especially if we were borrowing 100% on the new home. That's when we started exploring the option of building an ADU as an alternative. After conducting much research, we found ADU Builders California and were pleased to see that they offered a no-money-down solution. That was precisely what we needed. From the very first day, the process was totally seamless. Their team arrived on time, were professional, and went above and beyond to minimize the disruption. Each day, they cleaned up after themselves, so we could still enjoy our backyard without it feeling like a full-scale construction zone. They even helped us install a fence to give us and the ADU a bit of extra privacy, a little touch that was the biggest difference.; All in all, it was a really positive experience. If you’re thinking about building an ADU and want a reliable, professional team that works fast and takes care of the details, I’d definitely recommend giving ADU Builders California a call.
