I definitely recommend Backyard Estates, and I even have one of my co-workers currently building with them. When I first spoke with Adam, he seemed very knowledgeable and insisted on an assessment before giving a price—unlike other companies that quote blindly.
Initially, his price was a bit out of my range, so I went with another company—but that turned into a nightmare. The permit process dragged on, the price kept increasing, and the city requested extra work that added costs.
He was able to talk to the city and remove unnecessary items, making the final price better than most other companies.

Their expertise with city rules, inspectors, and local processes is invaluable. I realized that my previous company’s permit process took nine months, costing me thousands extra, whereas Backyard Estates could have saved me at least five months and about $10,000.

Tom and the team were also incredible during design changes. When I wanted to move the washer and dryer, they handled it with the city without needing full resubmissions. The layout adjustments and timeline changes were seamless.

Most importantly, once the build started, I haven’t doubted their character ever—they do exactly what they say. Backyard Estates combines expertise, integrity, and efficiency in a way that truly sets them apart.
