I am a licensed, bonded, and insured General Contractor with an extensive background in design and construction. I do not just talk the talk, I walk the walk, having physically labored in trades ranging from tile and plumbing, to foundation and framing. To this day, there is seldom a project I will not roll up my sleeves for, be it setting lines for a home addition, or laying out complex tile patterns to be reproduced by my team. I received my Masters in Architecture (M.Arch) from UCLA, where I graduated with distinction. My commencement thesis focused on the California Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) legislation, a space that I have become a leading expert in. Building home additions and creating additional housing in the form of ADUs is my lifework: there is nothing more rewarding than delivering a finished project to a client. If you are contemplating a home addition, major renovation, or building an ADU, give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you.

"I recently hired Sklar Construction for a major renovation on my home in Culver City, and I was blown away by their service. From start to finish, they were professional, detailed, and truly cared about my project. The team was fantastic at keeping me updated every step of the way. They answered all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with the progress. They finished the project on time, and the quality of their work was incredible. My home looks amazing, and I've gotten so many compliments on the renovation. What really stood out to me was how Sklar Construction listened to my ideas and offered great suggestions to make my vision even better. They were committed to delivering top-notch results, and it shows in every detail. I highly recommend Sklar Construction. If you need a renovation done right and want to work with a team that truly cares, go with them. You won't be disappointed!"

Addition to existing structure building services FAQs

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.
