Dorothy and David

A couple with construction backgrounds who wanted one all-inclusive ADU price instead of à la carte bids and DIY permits.

From the very beginning, Adam truly understood our biggest concern: how much it was going to cost, and what we could get for the money we had. We interviewed five different builders and couldn't make a decision. Then Adam showed up, and Backyard Estates was above and beyond the rest.

From the very beginning, Adam truly understood what our concern was.

Backyard Estates gave us a fully inclusive cost of everything we needed. Adam was very specific: if you choose this package, this is exactly what you get. With the other builders, the price per square foot wasn't a true figure. We would have had to buy our own fixtures and appliances, pay à la carte for everything else, and even pull our own permits. One builder could build an 800 sq ft home for $150,000, but we would have had to do everything ourselves.

They gave us a fully inclusive cost of what we needed.

Adam came along and handled it all. It was a very quick process: they broke ground in mid-January and were finished on March 17th. Even our family can't believe how quickly it went. And the construction crew they sent out was so sweet to us.

They broke ground mid-January, and they were finished March 17th.

We've both worked in construction and built places like this ourselves, and none of them were this detailed. They really went above and beyond for us. We'd tell anyone to go with an ADU specialist like Backyard Estates. Honestly, we couldn't be happier.
