Building our ADU was a game changer! The process was smoother than expected, thanks to a great contractor who handled permits and kept costs reasonable. It's a cozy, well-designed space - perfect for guests or extra income. The added property value and flexibility make it one of the best decisions we've made!
We recently completed an ADU project with Pelican ADU Builders, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation with Jack, to the the planning phase, and then the final touches, the team was top notch. They were professional, responsive, and attentive to my needs. Craig and Brian were awesome, they guided me through the entire process; ensuring I understood each step and making recommendations that enhanced the overall design. The construction and finish quality is outstanding, and the project was completed on time and within budget. All the crews that worked on our job were professional and very clean. Some small issues came up during the job (like any construction project) but the team always jumped in quickly with solutions and got the job back on track. I highly recommend Pelican ADU Builders for anyone considering an ADU build! Considering converting our garage next!
As a homeowner looking to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on my property, I recently had the pleasure of working with Pelican ADU Builders. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team at Pelican ADU Builders exceeded my expectations in every aspect. What stood out most was the team’s deep knowledge of the ADU building process. They took the time to walk me through each step, from design to permits, and made sure I understood all my options. Their expertise in local zoning laws and building codes was invaluable and helped me get the necessary approvals quickly. I wanted a small studio with an open floor plan, and the designers took my ideas and turned them into a beautiful, functional layout that fit perfectly on my property. They also provided 3D renderings which made it easy to visualize the finished products. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was a huge relief. Even after the ADU was completed, the team at Pelican ADU still followed up with me to ensure that all my questions are taken care of on timely manner. I now have a beautiful, functional ADU on my property that I’m proud of!
