Popular construction & outdoor services

ADU Construction

An ADU packs a kitchen, a bath, and a separate living space onto a lot you already own. That is why it costs more per square foot than a full house. Local ADU rules, utility hookups, and whether it is detached, a garage conversion, or over the garage move the number as much as the floor plan. We range it by size and finish, then match you with one vetted GC.

A garage adds parking, storage, and resale value, and a well-built one can carry a room or workshop above. We range a new garage by size and match you with one vetted general contractor who handles the foundation, permits, and build. See your range to start.

Construction & Outdoor FAQ

How much does it cost to build a house?

A small home starts near $215,000. An average 2,000-square-foot standard build lands about $360,000–$535,000. Large custom homes can reach $1,210,000. Region, site work, and finishes move it.

How much does an ADU cost?

A studio starts near $98,000. A typical 1-bed standard build lands about $170,000–$255,000. A custom 2-bed can reach $550,000. Kitchens, baths, and permits packed into a small footprint make ADUs cost more per foot than a full house.

Do I need a general contractor?

For any multi-trade project, a build, an addition, a large landscape, a licensed general contractor coordinates trades, pulls permits, and carries the schedule and liability. We match you with one, not a stack of subs to juggle.
