Featured Reviews for ADU Contractors in San Jose

1 A DESIGN, LLC
ADU Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 13, 2021
“Chad remodeled our whole home. He took a jacuzzi room, paneled in cedar, and extended it past our deck, and adding a new deck beyond. He also dug under our old jacuzzi, making a full storage room and a downstairs library. The new family room has six skylights and twelve tall windows, so it's light and airy. Paneled in beautiful cedar, it's our favorite room. The downstairs has become a complete bedroom suite with a kitchen, library. and storage room. It's sufficient to say sixteen years later, we're still singing Chad's praises in both design and execution. He has our highest recommendation.”

“I had an entire book of pictures of the type of house I wanted to build and had worked with a wonderful draftsman who laid out the house. We knew that we needed someone to help with the complicated roofline and the outside of the house and had friend who had John as the architect for their unique home. John helped us to translate my ideas into a picture perfect home. He laid out the complicated roofline, created a design for the outside of the home which captured the "lodge" look, including a signature window design, saved me from over and under estimating the size of rooms, created a unique yet wonderful floor plan. The home is both grand and intimate. He reminded me that there are three elements: size, detail, and cost.....and that I only got to have 2 of them! That helped a lot in the design and choice process. John is a gem...keen eye, sharp mind, both an artist and architect.”

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 Jose. 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 Jose: 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.
