We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We strongly believe in giving our absolute best in all of our projects no matter how big or small. We are experts in our trade and will always keep you educated on your particular task or project. We look forward to earning your business!

"All the people at Elevate Design and Build were amazing and a pleasure to work with. We doubled the size of our house including tripling the size of the kitchen, knocking out walls to create an open floor plan and added a three car garage with home office over the garage. They even recommended modifications to our original blueprints which were excellent. All their workers friendly and did a first class job. Went totally above and beyond our expectations. One year later we have not had one single problem with any of the work. Total integrity. If any issue came up, the company absorbed the cost - not the customer. Everything they did was done perfectly. We didn't have a single issue or complaint during the entire process. I give them my highest personal recommendation. I would never use anyone else."

Misha's Home Improvement, Inc., has been in business for more than 16 years and all of our employees are skilled European craftsman. Call us for your entire wood and ceramic tile flooring needs!

"After having gone through four contractors who made big promises of written estimates which never materialized, my expectations of this company were pretty low. But when I reached out to Misha's Home Improvement I received a prompt and courteous reply. We made an appointment to meet at my house. Misha arrived at the appointed time (to which I arrived late) he walked up to meet me, holding a clipboard and measuring tape in hand. We shook hands and I realized right away that I was dealing with someone of a higher caliber. When we walked through the house I stated my requirements only partially whereupon Misha offered ideas and options. Every room. Methodically. Misha took measurements and we parted company. I had no appreciation for how much information he was taking in during our visit. A few days later a detailed estimate landed in my inbox. Room by room. Item by item with materials and labor costs and a detailed drawing of the entire layout of the home with precise measurements. No BS. I was impressed. We agreed upon a start date and a pattern emerged. This guy and his extraordinary team of guys came to the house every day (sometimes on weekends) and proceeded to embark on a Whole House renovation. Craftsmen all. Courteous and respectful to a man. Windows, bathroom reno, kitchen reno, recessed lighting. wiring fixes with attention to code, basement tile, patio doors, drywall repair, custom closets. Change orders written and agreed upon - in advance. No surprises in our agreements or fees. In fact, where warranted Misha refunded me for materialis/labor that were not needed. Misha and the guys have completed the job and I have to say that I will truly miss them. True craftsmen. I will absolutely recommend this company of men and the man who runs this enterprise. I got very very lucky."

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.
