Final pricing depends on your specific lot, structural conditions, finish level, and design complexity. The free 15-minute Discovery Call is where we narrow these ranges to a realistic number for your project — before any contract gets signed.
Whatever service you need, the underlying process is the same:
Quick phone consultation. You tell us what you're building. We tell you whether we're the right fit, what a realistic budget range looks like, and what the next step is.
We come to your property, take measurements, talk through scope, and provide a realistic budget range. Lot, permit, and structural realities all get evaluated.
For builds, remodels, and additions, we move into a design phase. Plans, engineering, materials, and a fixed scope of work get locked down here — so when construction starts, the budget and timeline are real numbers.
Work begins. Weekly on-site walkthroughs, daily updates through Houzz Pro, one point of contact (the owner), and a clean, protected jobsite.
Final walkthrough, professional cleanup, written warranty, certificate of occupancy, and a clear punch list closeout.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Josh, a contractor who facilitated the construction of our Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU), and I cannot express enough how seamless and enjoyable the entire process was. From the very beginning, Josh demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that made the project feel not only manageable but also exciting. One of the standout aspects of working with Josh was his commitment to transparency. Throughout the project, he maintained open lines of communication, ensuring that I was always informed about timelines, costs, and any potential challenges. This transparency fostered a sense of trust and confidence, allowing me to make informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed. Josh’s meticulous approach to organization was evident in every phase of the construction. He took the time to clarify each step of the process, breaking it down into manageable parts. This structure was invaluable, especially for someone like me who was navigating the complexities of ADU regulations and construction for the first time. He also took the initiative to handle all necessary permits and inspections, further removing stress from my shoulders. What truly impressed me was Josh's attention to detail. From the very first consultation to the final walk-through, he ensured that every aspect of the ADU met our expectations and complied with local codes. He worked diligently with subcontractors, maintaining a high standard of workmanship. The result is a beautifully crafted space that perfectly suits our needs. One of the highlights of the experience was Josh’s proactive problem-solving attitude. When minor hiccups arose — as they often do in construction projects — he was quick to address them with solutions that I felt comfortable with. His calm demeanor made even the most challenging moments feel manageable, reinforcing my confidence in his abilities. In summary, my experience building an Additional Dwelling Unit with Josh as my contractor was nothing short of excellent. His combination of transparency, organization, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills made the entire project as stress-free as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh to anyone considering an ADU; you won’t just gain a contractor, but a partner who truly cares about delivering outstanding results. Thank you, Josh, for making our dream a reality!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

A remodel improves what already exists — same footprint, better layout/finishes/function. An addition adds new square footage to the existing home (extra rooms, second story, kitchen expansion). Most renovation projects involve both: remodel the existing kitchen AND add new square footage for a dining room, for example.
An addition is integrated with your existing home — same roof, same utilities, same address. An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a separate, fully independent dwelling on your property with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entry. ADUs are designed for rental income, family members, or fully separate living space. Additions extend your house; ADUs add a second unit on your lot.
For single-trade projects (a paint job, a roof replacement, an electrical panel upgrade), you can often hire a single qualified specialist. For anything involving multiple trades coordinating in sequence — kitchen remodels, additions, builds — a general contractor is the right call. The GC manages scheduling, permits, change orders, quality control, and is the single accountable party if something goes wrong. JJ Builders is your GC for any project that involves more than one trade.
