ADORE HOMES INC.

We had a very good experience working with Adore Homes and would give them a five-star rating. The main reason we chose them was their strong selection of ADU floor plans. They offered a range of layouts and helped us identify one that fit our lot particularly well, allowing the ADU to be placed in a location that made the most sense for our property. Throughout the project they also provided good access to their project management team. While a few project managers rotated during the build, Kevin in particular was very responsive and helpful whenever questions came up. Adore Homes also coordinated closely with the actual ADU manufacturer and construction team, helping manage communication and keeping the project moving forward. The construction itself was completed by their subcontractor team, and the overall quality of the work was solid. We appreciated the company’s accessibility, their willingness to address questions, and the fact that they saw the project through to completion successfully.

I worked with Tom and Adore Homes to design and spec out an ADU for our home. The project was very challenging with space issues and other constraints. Tom and his team were extremely helpful – they were knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Their creativity and flexibility to include our unique concerns made for a great experience and workable design.
We had been looking at ADU options for 3 years, with many different companies, I would highly recommend Adore Homes to anyone considering an ADU. A visit to their show room in Campbell is very impressive and informative.

I rate a company on if I'll do business with them again. For Adore Homes, the answer is yes! It was 5-star service. Weekly emails, flexibility with upgrades, help with concrete and landscaping research/bids.
Short summary: 2 bed/2 bath, 704 sq ft, $272,000. Contract signed Dec 2023. Survey July 2024, Oct 2024 ADU arrives. (Six months permit, three months of land prep).

I met with 5 stick build companies and 3 pre-fab ADU.
The stick builds seemed more expensive. One gave me an idea to completely demolish my house, another tried to push me to a J-ADU.

One pre-fab only offered a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I helped design a 2 bed/2 bath for another ADU company and they wanted to charge me $20,000 for the design and another $100,000 for delivery even though it was my design!

I had a plot of land in the front yard that I was tired of taking care of and it was just sitting there.

I checked the city permit site and saw that Adore Homes was a preferred vendor. I went to their website and saw that there were over 60 models in various layouts and price ranges. https://adore-homes.com/our-homes/

I signed the contract around December 2023 as they had a year-end discount if you sign before the end of the year.
Pros: They send you a weekly status report. A Slack channel was setup but I never joined. You can also "design" some elements of the ADU. Appliances are included for free: stove, microwave, dishwasher, fridge (in black, stainless is an upgrade cost).
Tip: I wanted to know every single cost before I signed the contract. I choose the "upgrades" and was able to "design" or make some changes before I signed the contract.
The upgrades I choose: stainless microwave, stove, fridge. The fridge was surprisingly huge with double doors and under pullout freezer (nice surprise)! An undermount sink (ended up being a farmhouse style undermount sink). Quartz kitchen and bathroom counters upgrade. I kept the floor as free vinyl (it actually looks good like real wood!), upgraded would have been vinyl plank or hardwood but for the size and price, I didn't think it was worth it.
Design/modifications: I wanted the kitchen cabinets to touch the ceiling because I didn't want dust to pile up. I asked for bathroom sinks to be undermount. Instead of windows in each bedroom, I asked for sliding doors. I also asked for the unit "master" to be longer (3 feet longer) and to include two sliding glass mirror closet doors. And a mirror sliding door in the other bedroom. The front entry to be French doors vs a single entry door. All the windows, balcony doors, and French door had blinds included (another nice "free" surprise). I added a deck. I requested that each side of the house have a water faucet and electricity outlet. I asked for the free fiberglass shower but got a "free" upgrade that looks like quartz but it's vinyl?
Separate: I had them concrete all around the ADU property.

When I buy another property, I will definitely contact Adore Homes again. They responded to emails within 1 day and all of my requests were fulfilled. If there was anything I wasn't happy with, I would email or text Adore and they would address it within an acceptable timeframe. Five star, white glove service!

Adore Homes built a 880 SQft ADU for me in Saratoga. It took a long time to complete and the permit took the longest. At the end I am happy with it. They have a good team working on it. They also have beautiful show room. I Highly recommend them.

We had an incredible experience with Adore Homes from start to finish. During the sales process, Ken was outstanding knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping us make the best decision for our property.
He guided us through every option and made the entire process feel smooth and transparent.

As we moved into the building phase, we did run into some delays during the permitting process with the City of Santa Clara, which were outside of anyone’s control. However, Adore Homes stepped up right away. Anh the project manager stayed on top of the situation, worked closely with the city, and kept us informed every step of the way. Once the permits were cleared, Adore moved quickly to get the project back on track, and their Anh ensured that everything stayed on schedule from that point forward.

The entire team was professional, organized, and committed to delivering a high-quality product.
Our ADU turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. Adore truly made a complex process feel easy.
Highly recommend
