"Overall my experience with this company was great! The work that was done was really really good! Our contractor who assisted us was Jose. We added a living space and master bedroom to our home. The additions done look as if they were part of my house this whole time. Honestly it looks way better than I expected. The only reason I rated the company a 4.5 was because there was always some kind of miscommunication between our contractor and his workers. Don t get me wrong, things were always resolved, Jose was great at that. But my recommendation to is to make sure communication is #1. That way the customer is not confused or left wondering what will happen next. There was an issue with his floor guy though, he was rude and unprofessional. BUT the reason I am mentioning this is not to put down the company but let you know that we expressed concern for this issue and it was resolved professionally by Jose and it never became an issue again. The quality of work was top notch! His workers were all pretty cool guys and we always felt comfortable of who was coming into our home to do the work. I highly recommend this company for your next big project😊👍🏼"

"Jorge, Andy and their team at A1-Builders were knowledgeable, honest, reliable and above all always available to answer any questions we had. They helped build a 2 bed 1 bath 600sqft addition to our home during the lean months over the pandemic. We had multiple projects (pool, patio, retaining wall) going on at the same time with other contractors and the crew from A1-Builders were by far the most professional. They always made sure that they left their work site clean after each dayâ s work. Jorge will definitely be the first person I call for our next home project because I know that even if he does not have the time to do the work, he will always guide me in the right direction.

"This is our second project with Horizon Construction & Remodeling. They originally remodeled our primary bathroom. They did such an excellent job with that, so we brought them back to remodel our kitchen and upgrade our electrical panel. We had a good idea of what we wanted, but Mark helped walk us through our design. He made several suggestions that helped improve our design and function in the kitchen. The staff that did the work were extremely polite and professional. They cleaned up after each day of work and were overall respectful of our property. They showed up when they said they would be here. Not only does everything look great, but the quality is also wonderful! As our house was built in 1958, we did find problems with the plumbing for gas and water. We needed to replace all the lines, so we had the whole house replumbed.

Most ADU projects require several months from initial planning through final inspection. The timeline includes designing plans, securing permits, site preparation, construction, and finishing work.
Factors affecting duration include project complexity, contractor availability, weather conditions, and local permitting processes. Planning for potential delays due to material shortages or inspection scheduling is advisable when establishing your project timeline.
Homeowners can access various funding sources for ADU projects. Home equity loans and lines of credit leverage existing property value, while construction loans provide phased funding specifically for building projects. Some areas offer specialized ADU financing programs with favorable terms.
Personal loans might work for smaller conversions, though they often carry higher interest rates. Your financial situation, credit profile, and project scope will determine which option provides the most advantageous terms.
Adding an ADU often increases your property's assessed value, resulting in higher tax obligations. The specific impact varies by location, as assessment methods and tax rates differ between jurisdictions. Some areas offer temporary exemptions or gradual increases to ease the financial transition.
For accurate projections, consult your local tax assessor before beginning construction to understand how your specific project will affect future tax bills.
Short-term rental regulations vary dramatically between municipalities. Some jurisdictions permit vacation rentals with minimal restrictions, while others impose occupancy limits, licensing requirements, or outright prohibitions, particularly for ADUs. Many areas require owner occupancy of the primary residence when renting an ADU short-term.
Research your local ordinances thoroughly before planning rental income, as non-compliance penalties can be substantial.
The ADU construction process frequently encounters obstacles, including complex permitting requirements, unexpected site conditions requiring additional work, contractor scheduling difficulties, and budget management challenges. Many homeowners underestimate the complexity of coordinating multiple specialized trades.
Additionally, ensuring adequate privacy between the main residence and ADU while maintaining aesthetic cohesion requires careful planning. Thorough preparation and working with experienced professionals can help navigate these common pitfalls.
Identifying qualified ADU contractors requires targeted research. Begin by seeking recommendations from neighbors with completed ADU projects or contacting local builder associations for specialist referrals. Review contractors' portfolios specifically for ADU or small residential projects similar to your vision.
When interviewing potential candidates, assess their familiarity with local ADU regulations, ask about recent similar projects, and request contact information for past clients with comparable projects.
