"We hired Diamond in the Rough Construction for a home addition, and while the finished result looks good at first glance, the process was full of issues and cost us much more than expected. We chose Diamond because of Abby, the salesperson, who was incredibly helpful and responsive. However, she left midway through the project, and we missed her support. Addison, the project manager, did his best but was left to handle more than he should have. The owners, Joe and Mike, were completely absent ? no check-ins or follow-ups, even when major issues arose.There were significant mistakes, like framing the windows to the wrong size, and we were blamed for "approving the wrong windows." HVAC was also forgotten until after construction started, forcing us to pay thousands more. The trim was poorly finished with putty that didn?t match the color of the pre-painted trim, and the solution was simply to cover the nail holes with a paint pen. In the end, we can?t recommend Diamond in the Rough"

"Beautiful Basements did an outstanding job finishing our basement. Dan provided a very thorough estimate/proposal.

Ashley was a tremendous help selecting paint colors, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and carpeting to achieve the look that we wanted.

They worked hard and were efficient at completing the project. They were well qualified to do the work assigned and did a great job.

"Jayson and Tristan were great! They were very responsive and easy to work with. After contacting them, they came out within a few days to look at what I wanted done, I needed a set of stairs built for the side entry of my house. They took into account what I wanted and discussed with me how they would get it done. I had an old set of stairs that didn't reach the door so I wanted a landing coming out of the door that would cover up the old stairs and then steps that would lead down to the driveway. They did exactly what I wanted and added a few details that I did not think of. In total it took 2 days to build which is the time frame they said it would take. I will definitely be using them again for any other projects that come up."

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.
