I decided to build an ADU because my product styling business was taking off. As soon as we got the keys, the property value grew much more than the cost of the ADU. I really appreciate their project management. They treated me like they cared about me.
We decided to build an ADU for my mom. I was very overwhelmed. Then I found out about SnapADU through a neighbor. I think it’s great to have a company that does the whole process from start to finish. It takes out the stress that comes with construction.
We found a plan that worked and then made little changes to make it exactly what we wanted, like adding windows to keep it bright and a pantry for extra storage. SnapADU let us ask a million questions, and they were open to every change or priority we had for the build.
