I interviewed other contractors, but at the end of the day, the clear choice was Backyard Estates. A coworker of mine was building an ADU in Ontario and showed me pictures and videos every Friday. Seeing his success completely motivated me to follow in his footsteps.

They were both on the same page—they had all the answers

From the very first meeting with Adam and Serge, I noticed something different: they were both on the same page—they had all the answers. In my past experiences, the contractor and architect were never aligned, and that was a big red flag. With Backyard Estates, the teamwork stood out immediately.

Being able to sleep well at night, knowing that you made the right selection on the team that you chose.

The best part of the entire process? Being able to sleep well at night, knowing that you made the right selection on the team that you chose. I’ve heard nightmare stories of projects getting shut down by the city, so having that peace of mind meant everything.

During the build, I had to take an unexpected trip to Costa Rica for family reasons. Even then, the open communication never stopped. Adam, Jose, and Dusty were always on top of it, and the Friday reports kept me fully informed. I felt completely comfortable leaving, knowing my project would not stop.

It was a matter of 6 to 8 weeks before I had a tenant.

The results came fast. It was a matter of 6 to 8 weeks before I had a tenant. I went from paying three mortgages to zero. Just twelve months ago, I was recovering from a stroke and trying to figure out how to manage those payments—now, all three mortgages pay themselves… a win-win situation as a new homeowner.

Every lot has unique constraints and opportunities. We analyze access, setbacks, utilities, and natural light to unlock layouts that work better — not just on paper, but in real life.

Tailored to How You Live

When a property allows for it, we transform the standard footprint into something uniquely tailored to your lifestyle, whether it’s family, rental income, or long-term comfort.
