"It's with disappointment that I am writing this review and will probably not utilize Homeadvisor again. I don't like writing reviews, especially bad ones for small contractors trying to make a living. Vasco Properties was hired to build an 1800sq foot addition under a residence that I had raised. I went with Vasco Properties because he was willing to do the rough framing, let me take over once framing was done and was offering me the chance to purchase materials at his price. When Vasco first took the job and reviewed the plans, Adam, owner, advised he could have it done in two weeks. After the house was raised Adam suggested that I put a steel beam in to make lowering the house easier. He also advised that he could have a steel beam within three days. After getting approval from Engineer, the steel beam was ordered. It took two weeks for the beam to delivered, a "far cry" from three days. A second steel beam had to be ordered for another area of the house and it took around three weeks for that delivery. If Adam had stuck to the original plans all that time wasted waiting for beams would not have occured. While I believe Adam and his crew did a good job, he has been horrible when it comes to communication. I have texted, called and sent emails throughout this entire process that will go unanswered most of the time. As I write this review, Adam has not responded to an email sent last week or responded to a detailed voicemail left on his cellphone."

Over the past 4 decades, Vernon Esham has been involved in the construction of over 2000 homes on the Eastern Shore in Maryland. In addition to being recognized as one of Delmarvas leaders in new home construction, Vernon Esham and Brent Esham Builders also offers many other services including interior and exterior remodeling, new room additions, water damage repair, plus complete building renovations for residential and commercial property owners.
"Esham Builders helped my wife and I build a modern 4-season sun porch to replace an old modular 3-season porch that had seen better days. They worked with us every step of the way to make sure the final product was exactly what we wanted. All of the workers and contractors were cordial and professional. Larry, our job foreman, was wonderful, diligently staying on top of the job as the work progressed, making changes as necessary, and moving things along as quickly as possible while adeptly handling weather, scheduling, and permit issues. The carpenter who installed the tongue-in-groove cypress on the walls and ceiling was a master craftsman. His work was exceptional. We highly recommend Esham Builders and would use them again in the future."

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.
