FAQ
What services do you provide?
We specialize in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (attached and detached), garage conversions to bedrooms or living spaces, and ground-up new home construction. We manage the entire process from planning and permits to construction and final inspection.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured general contractor. All work is performed in compliance with California building codes and local city requirements.
Do you handle design, permits, and city inspections?
Yes. We handle design coordination, engineering, permits, and inspections. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for homeowners.
How do I get started?
Simply contact us for an initial consultation. We review your property, discuss your goals and budget, and outline next steps for planning and construction.
How long does the construction process take?
Timelines vary by project:
-
Garage conversions: ~3–5 months
-
ADUs: ~6–10 months (depending on permits and scope)
-
New homes: project-specific timelines
We provide realistic schedules and ongoing updates.
What is an ADU?
An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a secondary residential unit located on the same lot as a primary home. ADUs can be attached, detached, or converted from existing space.
Can I build an ADU on my property?
Eligibility depends on zoning, lot size, setbacks, and city regulations. We review your property and confirm feasibility before starting.
What types of ADUs can you build?
We build:
-
Detached ADUs
-
Attached ADUs
-
ADUs created from garage or existing structures
-
How big can my ADU be?
ADU size depends on local regulations and property conditions. We design ADUs to maximize allowable space while meeting all city requirements.
Do ADUs require additional parking?
In many cases, no additional parking is required, depending on location and exemptions. We confirm parking requirements during planning.
Can I rent out my ADU?
Yes. ADUs are commonly used as long-term rental units or for family members. Short-term rental rules vary by city and will be reviewed during planning.
Can my garage be legally converted into a bedroom or living space?
Yes, if it meets building code requirements such as ceiling height, insulation, ventilation, electrical upgrades, and emergency egress. We ensure all conversions are legal and inspection-approved.
What is the difference between a garage conversion and an ADU?
A garage conversion reuses an existing structure, while a detached ADU is a new build. The right option depends on your goals, budget, and property layout.
Will my garage conversion need utility or panel upgrades?
In many cases, yes. Garages were not designed for living use, so electrical, plumbing, or structural upgrades may be required for safety and compliance.
How much does an ADU or garage conversion cost?
Costs vary depending on size, design, site conditions, and city requirements. We provide transparent, detailed estimates after reviewing your project.
Do you offer financing options?
We can help guide homeowners through common financing options and work with lenders or consultants when needed.
What happens if I want to change something during construction?
Changes are handled through clear change orders, outlining cost and schedule impacts before work proceeds.
What permits are required?
Most projects require building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and energy compliance permits. We handle the entire permitting process.
What if my existing structure was built without permits?
We can help evaluate options to legalize or correct unpermitted work, depending on city requirements.
Do HOA rules affect ADUs or garage conversions?
HOAs may have design guidelines, but they generally cannot prohibit ADUs outright. We help navigate HOA coordination when required.
How do you ensure safety during construction?
Safety is a core part of our Triple S Model. We prioritize job-site safety, property protection, and strict code compliance throughout construction.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. We offer long-term warranties ranging from 10 to 30 years, depending on project scope. We stay available after completion — we don’t disappear.
