The owner, Shelly Levy is a wonderful and easy person to work with.”
Mayer's Construction and Remodeling
ADU Contractors in San Carlos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 4, 2022
“Great experience, high value, very reliable and best crew we ever worked with. Mayer’s construction did a home remodeling for us during the last 6 months. It has been a big home remodel for us that took design and build as well. After months spending finding the right company for us, we have choose to work with Mike & Nathan Mayer from Mayer’s construction. A week after finalizing contract we started working with Su & Luis both company’s architect and engineer. We worked on the new plans we agreed and wanted at first and started to have architect drawings ready, when we got into engineering process, both Mayer’s construction and us didn’t know we were suppose to redone so much of the existing footings and reinforce of additional walls as 20 years ago we did a 2nd story addition that was probably made poorly and unprofessional. They were extremely kind and helpful and kept the price as we agreed on and didn’t changed a thing. The plan process and measurements took about a month or so, and finally we were able to submit the plans to the city of San Jose. After getting the permits done and job card set ( overall 5 months of waiting / SJ is a pretty busy city) we got into work schedule and been ready to move out as the entire home going to be demolished. Mike was very organized both managing and scheduling the team, rough materials arrivals, and to us to be fully briefed with details and what we need and when. The process of work was great and on timeline , city did changed a lot during this time period with their inspection delays but it didn’t interrupt with our schedule or timeline due to great management ahead. We just finished our work and we absolutely in love with our new home! New flooring throughout, new kitchen, new bathrooms, complete open floor plan, new stair case, new rooms reconfigured, new paint, new texture, new windows and sliding doors throughout, all new plumbing and electrical. A brand new and beautiful home we got thanks to Mayer’s construction and the team, Mike, Nathan, Raul, Jose and many more who had a added value and did this work absolute best.”

“I am an architect based in San Francisco and I’ve been working with Mr. James Reid from Tycon Builders for years. I cannot praise James enough for his attentiveness to details, openness to new ideas/materials/technology, and the care he puts in for every projects. When it comes to building my own house from ground up, I trust Tycon Builders and have enjoyed the journey of building. James is a master builder who is hands-on, honest, and knowledgeable. I recommend Tycon Builders to anyone who wants a worry-free home.”

Mr. & Mrs. Construction & Remodeling
ADU Contractors in San Carlos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2020
“After doing extensive research and talking to multiple contractors I settles on Mr & Mrs. Construction for my bathroom renovation project. From initial consultion to design to picking of tiles and materials they were always there to guide us when we needed it. Lital was the project manager for us and she was a pleasure to deal with. Quality of work performed was great and the end result came out amazing. I would definitely recommend Mr & Mrs. Construction to anyone looking to get their bathroom redone in an affordable budget.”
NuHome Remodeling
ADU Contractors in San Carlos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 23, 2020
“Tony and his team did an excellent job . They expanded my master bedroom including the bathroom and a walk in closet. I am not the easiest customer. I had so many questions, and Tony was patient with me every step of the way. They were very thorough and competitive. They were constantly updating me and going over the process . The entire experience was great!! Always on time with a great attitude. I want to say that I worked with a few general contractors over the years and it is difficult to find a good one that actually keeps you updated. If you are looking for a good contractor, look no further! I am very satisfied!!! Thank you Tony and Nuhome! -Clement”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2019
“I can't say many wonderful things about Green California Builders. I wanted to built a new home and had no idea where to start in regards to design and construction permits. I heard about these guys because of my friend. I met EZ (the main project manager) after scheduling the appointment. He guided us through the entire process with ideas, advises and material selection. I liked his vision and we agree on the budget. Few days later the project started. After few months, we now have a wonderful new house. I'm so grateful to choose these guys and I recommended them 100%!!!”
EBCON Corporation
ADU Contractors in San Carlos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 13, 2014
“Finding a contractor you trust and one that does great quality work seems harder than it should be. Fortunately we were recommended to Erik and Ebcon by a woman who was helping us think through some work we needed done on our home that included lighting, painting, plumbing and creating a new "man cave" in our basement. From our first meeting we were impressed. We have now been working with Ebcon on several projects for the past 2 years and are thoroughly pleased with the work his team has delivered. Erik and his team put a very personal touch and a high degree of care in their work which included weekly face to face meetings to review work and progress and discuss the inevitable changes or unexpected issues that pop up as work begins. Ebcon has repeatedly met and in some cases exceeded our needs and the high touch high communication has been great at identifying issues quickly and collaboratively resolving them. Since my wife and I lead busy lives, Erik has always found a way to pick times even super early in the morning to come by and have our regular updates and discussions. I highly recommend Erik if you are looking for a great team that does top notch work and keeps you very close to what is happening and strives to give you exactly what you want. They are super. Some of the work Erik did in our home is featured on his site today under "Whitaker"”

“I would HIGHLY recommend Equity Builders Group for your construction plans! Jason and his crew renovated our kitchen and a few years later they made our dream of building a second story a reality. They are detail-oriented, clean, provided good advice and guidance, on-time and did their best to keep us within our budget.”
Clever Design & Remodeling
ADU Contractors in San Carlos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 10, 2020
“We hired Clever Design and Remodeling to remodel our kitchen in our condo. We had met with two other contracting companies and we were given a similar quote as Clever but to be honest, meeting with Gilli gave me a totally different level of confidence than meeting with the others. We replaced most of the carpeting in our home with European Oak wood flooring which is beautiful. We also had the kitchen cabinets refinished and a new stainless steel over the range microwave installed as well as coordinating new sink fixtures and all new cabinet hardware. Recessed lighting was installed in the living room, kitchen, and master bath with necessary patching and all ceilings painted. Roy was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the project -plumbing, electrical, carpentry- displaying true craftsmanship in his work. Gilli was great to work with, she is very detail oriented and he and his team always left our house and the common areas in the condo building extremely clean (cleaner than it was originally, honestly). The Clever Design and Remodeling team really went above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and happy with the work. Strongly recommended!!!!”

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a separate living space that can be added to your property. It functions as an additional dwelling on the same land where your main home is located. ADUs have their own amenities and entrance, providing a self-contained living area. Unlike a traditional home, an ADU cannot be sold separately and is considered part of the same property.

ADUs are subject to specific zoning regulations and building codes in San Carlos. These regulations determine where and how an ADU can be constructed, ensuring compliance with local laws and requirements. It’s important to consult with local authorities or a professional contractor who is familiar with ADU regulations in your area to understand the specific legal differences and ensure your ADU meets all necessary criteria.

Consider these options for cost-effective ADU:
  1. Prefabricated ADUs: Affordable and easy to assemble, they’re a practical choice. Many prefab ADUs cost under $100,000.
  2. Traditional Construction: Work with an ADU contractor to find budget-friendly options and make smart choices.
Tips for cost-effective ADU construction:
  1. Define your needs: Determine the purpose of your ADU, whether it’s for family, rental income, or a home office.
  2. Consult a contractor in San Carlos: Their expertise can help with cost-effective materials, designs, and planning.
  3. Prefabricated components: Consider using prefabricated elements like cabinets or bathroom fixtures to save time and money.
  4. Explore financing options: Look for ADU-specific loans or programs to help cover costs.
Ensure compliance with local regulations and seek professional advice. A knowledgeable contractor can make the process smoother and cost-effective.
