How We Work

Our process is clear, organized, and built on 25 years of construction expertise. You know exactly what happens next at every step.

Assessment and Planning

We start by understanding your property, goals, and budget. Site evaluation covers soil, utilities, setbacks, and local East Sacramento building codes. This foundation informs design decisions and keeps the project grounded in reality.

Design and Permits

We create plans that match your vision and meet code. Permit applications are handled in-house so you don't manage paperwork with city planners.

Construction and Inspection

Our crews handle framing, mechanical, electrical, and finish work with full code compliance. City inspections are scheduled as needed. You're updated at each phase so nothing feels rushed or hidden.

Evaluation

Site walk, property survey, utility location, and code review to set the project direction.

Design & Permits

Custom plans, permit applications, and city approvals handled without you leaving your home.

Build & Inspect

Skilled crews frame, rough-in utilities, install mechanical systems, and finish to code.

Final inspections, certificate of occupancy, and a full walkthrough so you know your new space.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

We build the right structure for your East Sacramento property and goals.

Backyard ADU Construction

A standalone structure in your backyard adds living space without an addition to the main house. Common in East Sacramento, these units include kitchens, bathrooms, and independent utility connections. Perfect for guest stays, rental income, or multigenerational housing.

Garage Conversion ADU

Converted garage with integrated entry, updated roofline, and new windows.

Transform an underused garage into a full ADU. This option works well in established East Sacramento neighborhoods where yard space is limited. We handle structural changes, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and insulation so the unit is livable year-round.

ADU Renovation and Addition

Existing ADUs in East Sacramento sometimes need updates—better insulation, roof repair, kitchen refresh, or bathroom modernization. We assess the current structure and improve it to current code and your comfort level without a full rebuild.

Why It Matters

Local Code and Compliance

Sacramento County and East Sacramento have specific setback rules, utility requirements, and occupancy limits. We know these rules inside out so your ADU passes inspection and protects your investment. No surprises after construction is done.

Every project is custom. We design and build to your property's strengths, not off a standard template.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ADU construction in East Sacramento.

What is an ADU and why build one?

An ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is a separate, independent living space on your property—usually smaller than the main home. People build ADUs for rental income, guest housing, or aging family care.

How much does an ADU cost?

Costs vary widely based on size, type (backyard, garage conversion, or addition), and site conditions. A free site evaluation and estimate helps you understand your specific project cost.

Do I need a permit for an ADU in East Sacramento?

Yes. State law requires permits for new ADUs. We handle all permitting and code compliance so your unit is legal and insurable.

What is the difference between a backyard ADU and a garage conversion?

A backyard ADU is a new standalone structure. A garage conversion reuses existing space. Garage conversions are often faster and less costly if the structure is sound.

Will my ADU meet code if my lot is small?

Small lots have options. Garage conversions work well on tight sites. We evaluate setbacks, utility placement, and neighborhood fit to design what fits your property legally.

Can I live in the ADU while you build it?

It depends on the project type. For garage conversions, the main home stays occupied. For backyard ADUs, your main home is unaffected during construction. We discuss logistics during the site evaluation.
