My husband and I started planning to build an ADU for my mom after she retired. We wanted her to live near us, but have her own space with her own privacy and comfort. We interviewed a few construction companies and felt that A+ Construction PRO was the best choice for us. The project itself was a detached 1-bedroom ADU in our back yard. The process was so much easier than I expected. Rod presented the development process and details in a very realistic manner. He didn't make any false promises or try to sell us on lots of unnecessary upgrades. The design phase of the ADU took a little time to come to completion because my mom continued to modify the floor plan and the finish out of the kitchen as we moved through the design phase. The team was very patient with my mom and helped us to come up with a design that best served her needs of her space. I like that they paid close attention to the practicalities of the bathroom and the storage in the unit. I think designer Irene did a great job in this area. The crew was very professional. The site was always cleaned up after each workday. Communication with the office was good throughout most of the construction process. One minor thing that impacted the project was the typical delays that there are with inspections. But this was not a problem for us as we were always made aware of when each inspection was scheduled and any resulting delays. My mom loves it and ADU honestly turned out better than I could have imagined. read more

My family hired A+ Construction to convert our garage into an ADU. Since we hardly ever used the garage and needed additional living space so much more than storage space, it was a no-brainer for us. The finished ADU is being used by my younger brother while he is in college, and it has turned out to be a real small home for him instead of just a small addition to our house. The folks at A+ were very forthcoming in their bid process and told us what to expect. As opposed to some of the other contractors that gave us a very general number that could change depending on when they got around to it, A+ spelled everything out for us and gave us a solid idea of what our garage conversion would cost. Our project manager Nick was pretty accessible before construction started and even more so once the work began. He was pretty prompt in returning my mom's calls. I also liked that the construction crew was consistently on site. I've heard of a lot of other contractors leaving a job to return days or even weeks later to complete more work. That didn't happen here. The finished ADU is very clean and modern. The mini-split is very functional. The insulation added to the garage is very noticeable on the hotter days and the completed ADU is very spacious and never feels closed in. All in all, we had a pretty good experience with A+ Construction, and we would likely hire them for future projects. read more

I used A+ Construction to build our 2-story ADU in Citrus Heights. I did a lot of research online comparing contractors and also asked our neighbors that have built ADUs for their input. Honestly, our motivation to add a backyard ADU was primarily for extra square footage of living space. Our oldest child had just finished college and was returning to the Sacramento area to look for work. After 3 years away from home, it was starting to become apparent that our oldest was still our child and that it would be nice to have some extra square footage of living space for all of us. In time, we hoped that the ADU would generate enough rental income to offset part of the mortgage but that was not our initial motivation. This company did not have a "salesy" feel to it. We had already decided on a rough idea of what we wanted to build and did not need someone to try to sell us all of the upgrades. Many of the upgrades seemed to add a lot of cost for little return. Most of the communication of my contact was with Irene (ADU designer and architect) and project manager Andrew. Since our ADU is attached to the main house in the corner, good light comes in while not making the unit too large for the backyard. This was not the construction that I worried about it was the parking. We have a very narrow driveway and was actually the part that I worried the most about during the construction of the ADU. And it looks better than I had anticipated. The ADU looks better integrated than I thought it would. My son moved in a few weeks ago and he is happy! read more

I spent forever researching various builders of ADUs in the Sacramento area. It was a long and arduous process. Eventually, I settled on A+ Construction. My principal point of contact were Nick and Ann. Nick was very, very helpful. We decided on a detached unit. A+ handled all of the necessary county paperwork which was a big plus for me as I do not like dealing with that type of bureaucratic red tape. For a couple of weeks during the heavy rains, things slowed down somewhat due to inspections not being able to complete outside work. But, we were always advised of the situation. The A+ Construction guys on site were very respectful at all times and always cleaned up after a day of work. The end result is a very attractive unit in our Arden-Arcade property, with a nice kitchenette and shower-room. The quality is very good and does not appear to have been built on the cheap. We have already had several inquiries regarding renting it. Thanks, A+! read more

So our ADU just finished. This little house got finished just in time, because after almost a year of indecision we finally decided to do it, and I'm glad we did. The display homes were nice to look at, but our little back yard Micro Home was a lot more work to finish than we initially anticipated. It's cute, isn't it? We went with A+ Construction & Remodeling. Even early on, the project felt to move slowly. After plans, then approved plans, and further revisions, the project just seemed to sit idle for extended periods of time. It was harder in the beginning, before construction actually started. But once it got going, it's easier to deal with because we can see that it's actually going to happen, that there's progress happening every week and Sergei, our construction manager, kept us in the loop throughout the project. There were a couple of bumps along the road, including a bit of unscheduled electrical work. It was not a perfect stay, but there were no major issues. Any problems we encountered were treated professionally without turning into arguments or finger pointing. Our new ADU is finally complete! Building it was not easy, very time consuming, and had many twists and turns. But in the end it was worth it. read more

That's all folks! Our ADU project with A+ Construction & Remodeling is complete. Yay! Building an ADU in California involves obtaining permits, going through various inspections, connecting to utilities and making various corrections along the way to meet the city's requirements. Once construction began, it was fun to watch week by week as things progressed. The house at the framing stage was tiny and awkward in the yard but once finished it had transformed into a small home that was always meant to be there. The construction crew was very professional. Sergeii and his team maintained a very clean work site throughout the entire construction process. I was worried about this prior to starting construction but they did a great job maintaining a clean work site. This is going to be a great addition to our property! read more

Our detached 2 story ADU was built behind our Elk Grove home for rental purposes and as a potential future residence for family members. We used A+ Construction & Remodeling. We got quotes from a few different companies, but they were by far the most realistic about their construction timeline. Due to changing elements of the floor plan and design the planning phase was longer than expected. Construction really got underway here and after the initial slowdown, things have been moving along steadily. There have been a couple of breaks for inspection and one week where contractors didn't show up due to scheduling conflicts, but the progress has been good and smooth. I worked closely with Olga and Nick on this job. Olga took care of a lot of the permit and utility issues which is a huge relief as that kind of city paperwork is just about to drive me insane. The finished model turned out pretty good. The unit looks fairly natural in my backyard. read more

Our new ADU was intended for family members to use when visiting but we've been surprising ourselves by using it for our own personal relaxation. Worked with A+ Construction PRO. One thing what people don't talk about enough is the sheer number of decisions you have to make in order to get our house completed. From flooring and fixtures to decisions about interior layout and even details as small as outlet placement, the number of decisions seemed to never end. At some point we were just tired of choosing. I was a bit worried when the framing went up but after discussing it with Nick it was just something that wasn't clearly rendered in the plans and ended up being correct. My brain doesn't very well translate from paper to reality so I appreciated Nick walking me through the reasoning behind it. There was a very minor glitch with the bathroom vanity install - it came in slightly different but that was corrected with a substitute product and took a couple of extra days to complete. Once finished it feels like a really comfortable space - quiet, bright but not too bright and doesn't feel separate from the house. The best thing is its versatility. We've used it for our family to stay there, we've used it as an office and sometimes just extra space. read more

We thought our ADU was going to be a fairly straightforward process but it didn't turn out that way. But through it all A+ Construction & Remodeling handled everything professionally and made sure everything got completed to our satisfaction even though the project was fraught with last minute changes and last minute repairs needed. I would highly recommend A+. They were finished just in time - really the hardest part was before all that, going through plan, revision, city comment and then more revision cycles. I even thought we were done with drawings once, before more corrections were found. Once construction started, it started to feel like real progress was taking place. It wasn't ever perfect, some weeks would drag on with nothing going on and then we'd wake up to find that someone had done a bunch of work for last days - especially the process when all of the framing, rough-in plumbing and electrical all happened simultaneously. I got a bit frustrated for a day or so when the windows delivery was delayed but once the new stock arrived the guys were straight back on track again. We also found a few minor hitches but the management were very efficient in rectifying them before we had to bring it up. Once it was finished, I really liked that it wasn't some flimsy, "temp" addition. It felt like a real small house. ADUs look easy but in reality are more complicated. Thank goodness you have a team that can see it through to the end! Thank you A+ Team! In particular thank you Nick and Olga from the constuction and permit teams. read more

We worked with A+ Construction ADU Builders on our detached ADU build and it was a generally positive experience. We met with about 3 different companies to review plans and see who we clicked with best, and our first meeting with Abel was for a site visit and measurements for our lot. He walked us through our options and explained what would realistically fit on the lot and addressed some zoning restrictions that we didn't even know were in place. He helped scale down our initial concept that was a bit too big for the lot. I had the pleasure of working with Mia during the design phase. We did 2 layouts - she was particularly helpful in terms of revising the kitchen layout and coming up innovative storage solutions. Her small tweaks here and there opened up the space in ways I wouldn't have even thought of, without adding on square footage. The Permits took a little time but Olga was on top of things and informed us as to what was going on. She took care of all the forms and contacted the city on our behalf. Nick took over managing the build once the plans went to construction. It wasn't a completely straight line, some weeks faster than others, but generally it kept going at a good pace. In the end it took about 6 months. After completing the last bit of building, the finished unit is around 750 sqft. It's laid out pretty well and has a lot of natural light, all of it being built correctly is also a relief. It wasn't a seamless process but it worked. It looks like what we wanted it to look like. read more

We hired A+ for an ADU project and our experience quickly turned into a nightmare before they even broke ground. We were specifically told solar would NOT be required for our ADU size, and that if we signed before tariffs took effect, material prices would not increase. After taking our deposit and multiple payments, they later claimed solar was suddenly required and attempted to pass the added costs onto us. After we pushed back and pointed out the misrepresentation, the company became extremely adversarial instead of acting like a contractor working for their client. They then started introducing change orders, additional fees, and attempted to replace the original agreement with a new contract containing major changes to homeowner rights, stricter payment terms, increased fees, and language designed to protect the contractor -- not the customer. At this point we've had to retain legal counsel and file a complaint with the Contractor's State Licensing Board I strongly recommend that anyone considering this company carefully review every document, verify every verbal promise in writing, and consult an attorney before signing anything. read more

Building an AFU that would eventually serve as a high-end guest house and an artist studio for me, I was able to practice some of my patience. I brought my spreadsheet to the builders, and most of them were annoyed or intimidated. However, A+ Construction was different. Abel, the salesman, was interested in my full list, and while I added a slide to my spreadsheets, he went deeper with me on my most in-depth details: joinery cabinetry, thermal breaks on frames, and STC ratings in studio walls. The most detailed contracts in the known universe are most likely greater than my contract, which was a collection of specs that addressed the building decision for grout, color, and even brand. Pre-construction consisted of an absurd number of ongoing hours of weekly meetings. I was involved in the selection of their deck fabric and the custom interiors, which had no tolerance for error. He had a background in error. I specified a certain tile for the shower niche, and Nikolai called me to the site once it was completed. He noted that some glaze had microscopic natural variations that made two tiles half a shade different in certain lighting. "It's within the manufacturer's tolerances," he said. "Just not ours. Would you like us to replace it?" I was shocked. The project came in on budget The finished ADU is a masterpiece of craft. Every miter is perfect, every surface is dead aligned, every system is dead silent and all are extremely efficient. For some the level of detail and scrutiny is excessive. For me, it was the absolute point. Thank you, A+. read more

A+ Construction just completed an ADU in my backyard (February 2026). I researched and reached out to several builders and contractors and settled with A+ because they do ADUs as a main part of their business versus a company or contractor that does construction and could also do an ADU. I had an initial "brainstorming" meeting with Rod. He talked generally about the process, timelines, options. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and on time for our meetings. I started with a City of Sacramento pre-approved 1 bedroom, 1 bath plan (556 sq ft) that is supposed to get you expedited plan and permit approvals. But nobody I contacted had experience with building it. Even though A+ does ADUs, they had not done one yet either. Initial measurements were taken of my yard and after looking at how the ADU would fit, I decided to rotate it 90 degrees. But, then it would be too big because it would be too close to the required set-backs. I shortened the length and made it fit by taken one feet off the front and back walls, making it slightly less than 550 sq ft. Even though that modification made it into a full custom build for the City's purposes, the plan and permit approval process still went surprisingly fast and smooth. We met with Nik, who would be our project manager. We met Anna, who would be coordinating all the logistics. Nik introduced me to Carlos, the construction foreman. At EVERY step in the process Nik, Anna, and Carlos were there to answer questions, work through things, and provide options and explanations. Word of advice, always budget well over. There will be things that come up and that will cost you more. For us, that included me wanting to add exterior lighting, walkways around the unit, and the discovery that our sewer line was cracked and broken and that had to be fixed before we could tap into it for the ADU. Anna was so awesome. She set up a messaging thread on WhatsApp with the whole team. She forwarded copies of documents and always kept us informed of exactly what was going on throughout the build. Carlos and his multitude of workers were awesome. They were fast to try to beat rainy weather, and sometimes were here late into the night and even on weekends. Carlos asked questions to make sure things were the way I wanted and answered questions when I had them. And of course Nik was awesome. He came to check on the build regularly and answered texts promptly. He explained things and kept me updated on the City inspections and the permits. Communication is so important and everyone was always available. Messaging and phone calls were regular things happening throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend A+ for an ADU build and at the very least, you should be getting an estimate from them as a part of your own planning and building process. We are now setting up the ADU for my wife's mother. read more

The construction of our recently completed ADU was undertaken by A+ Construction & Remodeling and completed this year after we had entertained the idea of this project for almost two years. The hardest part wasn't building the ADU itself, but rather the permits, revisions, and waiting for utilities, etc. to connect before you can break ground. This is apparently typical for ADU construction in California. We worked mostly with Victor prior to start up, and Alex after construction began. However, communication was always consistent throughout. There were some slower periods as a result of the inspection/scheduling process, but Victor and Alex were always on hand to answer our questions. We finally finished the last wall on Saturday and I am left to sit here and wonder where the past 7 months went. There really were only a couple items that had to be corrected during the framing process in addition to a few tweaks to the electrical layout. Nothing to stressful. Everyone was available to discuss issues as they came up and were honest about delays rather than pretending that everything was on track. Our finished ADU was clean, functional, and unexpectedly solid for the end product of our build out. read more

I finished my ADU project with A+ Construction PRO a few months ago and wanted to wait a little before writing a review because I wanted to see how everything settled in after actually living with it for a bit.I'm in my early 40s and bought my property years ago when this neighborhood looked very different than it does now. I had been thinking about building an ADU for a long time, partly for extra income and partly because I wanted flexibility later on for family.The process itself was definitely bigger than I originally imagined. Before this, I had never dealt with permits, site plans, utility connections or inspections before, so having Olga manage all of that was honestly a huge relief.I mainly worked with Ana during the planning side and Sergei handled a lot of the project coordination once construction started. The early phase honestly tested my patience the most. There was a lot of waiting in the beginning - approvals, revisions, paperwork, utility scheduling. At times it felt like we were talking about building more than actually building. Once construction started though, things became easier mentally because there was finally visible progress every week. Framing, roofing, stucco, windows... it slowly started looking like a real home instead of just an idea sitting on paper.I wanted something that matched the main property instead of one of those ultra modern backyard units that looks completely disconnected from the house. I'm really happy they kept the exterior simple and clean. The gray stucco, dark front door and small covered entry ended up fitting the property much better than I expected. There were still a few issues during construction. One inspection got delayed and there were some adjustments with drainage and grading after heavy rain, but nothing turned into a major disaster and the crew handled corrections without arguing about it.Now that everything is done, it honestly just feels like it belongs there. That's probably the biggest compliment I can give it.Overall I had a positive experience with A+ construction PRO. building an ADU is stressful no matter who you hire but I do feel like the final result was worth the process! read more

Our situation was very difficult. I, along with my two siblings, inherited the family home in Rio Linda, while we live in LA, Chicago and Sydney. Before selling, we planned to build ADU to increase the value of the property. Coordinating this project, however, seemed almost impossible with tree different locations and time zones. A+ Construction customized family office approaches for us. One of the Client Service managers, Yair, was assigned to us as point of contact. Yair instituted a policy of designating one primary a decision maker (me), while sending communications to my siblings. He staggered the decision - making meetings across time zones to ensure balance. Other than sending materials to a showroom, their design team created tree looks, which along with sample boxes of flooring, countertops, cabinets, and paint, custom boxes for each of us. The sample touch and vote system was a huge success, and combined with their online portal, it was a winner! Yair's narrated walkthrough site videos, as a non-tech sibling, I appreciate more than site photos. They even coordinated a smooth sale by uploading the digital pack of construction documents and warranties to our realtor. They polished a complicated, emotional, multi-people project. Along with the new ADU, the sale price exceeded expectations. For complicated scenarios with family trusts or several owners, the structured, diplomatic, and tech-savvy approach is invaluable! read more

We worked with A+ Construction Pro to build this detached ADU. Overall: solid experience. We got quotes from a few builders before going with this one and their estimators were always vague about prices and details. Not so with this company. Very direct and to the point, with no "sales talk" which I appreciated. The building process lasted about 6 months from planning and breaking ground. It had some slow periods at times due to the wait for inspections which was frustrating at times. However the wait was not due to inactivity by Builder/Architect. The window install had a little hiccup with the trim not looking quite right, but once we brought it to their attention, it got corrected. What I like now that it's done: - layout actually makes sense in daily use - good natural light - doesn't feel like a secondary unit Multiple people have stayed here. They were surprised how comfortable it is. So well, Thank you A+ read more

Working with A+ Construction to complete our ADU was a big project for us and it turned out so much better than we could have expected. We wanted to build a space for my wife's parents to live in the backyard of our home. Victor met with us and drew up plans based off of our wants and needs. He was very good at calming our nerves on the biggest of our fears, which was our very oddly shaped lot. The permitting took longer than it should have but Victor and Alana kept us up to speed on what was going on and we never had to call or email them for an update. The crew was very respectful of our yard and were very careful not to damage any of the trees that we wanted to save. We are very happy with the finished project. We have a great amount of natural light in the unit and the finishes are solid. Our in-laws moved in last month and absolutely love it. I would recommend A+ to anyone looking for a contractor who will take the time to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. read more

We hired A+ Construction ADU Builders last year to build our detached ADU and had a really good experience with them. We wanted to add an extra level of space to our vacation home to be able to have family stay with us more comfortably on visits. We had no experience with construction and were worried about the cost and timing. But from the first consultation, their team took us through the whole process (design, permits, and build) to give us a clear sense of what to expect. The design was a bit longer than expected, mostly around kitchen and storage configurations. They worked with us to come up with some practical adjustments to the original layout. We pushed through the permit process quickly, after that the build moved along at a good pace. In the end, it only took about 6 months from start to finish. There were a few minor delays because of the inspections but overall good communication the whole way through. The completed ADU is 750 square feet with a single bedroom plus a bath, plus a combined living area. It feels functional and well designed and pretty bright. So far things have gone great! I really like the work that has been done, and it seeks that we have obtained a very organized result. read more

We didn't have a lot of experience with construction when we started this project, so picking the right builder was a big deal for us. We talked to a few different companies and then decided to go with A+ ConstructionTalking to Rod at the beginning was really helpful. He went through everything with us, step by step, and gave us a good idea of how long things would take and how much they would cost. This really helpd us know what to expect from the start. When we were designing the space, we worke closely with Iren to get everything just right. We went back and forth on the layout a few times, trying to find the perfect balance between openness and functionality. Iren had some great ideas that really helped improve the way the space flows - she suggested a few things that we wouldn't have thought of on our own, and they ended up making a big difference in the end. The construction process lasted around 6 months, which is a pretty standard timeframe for a project of this scope. There were some delays, mostly due to inspections ans scheduling issues, but that's just par for the course with a project like this - nothing out of the ordinary happened. The workers were really good at their jobs and mostly respectful of our place. They did a good job of keeping everything pretty clean and tidy. From a technical perspective, everything appears to be in order. The electrical layout is well-planned, the plumbing functions smoothly, and the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system operates efficiently. Additionally, the insulation is effectivly, allowing the unit to maintain a comfortable temperature without requiring constant adjustments to the heating or cooling. This suggests a well-designed and well-executed construction project. Now that the accessory dwelling unit is complete, we've started renting it out and it's been a great success. The floor plan is really functional and our tenants have been giving us fantastic feedback, which is a big relief. They provide a consistent and professional experience overall. read more

We had a single story detached ADU built in Citrus Heights as an investment rental property and overall we had a very structured process and a fairly predictable outcome. Our first interaction with Oleg was to do a site evaluation and he provided more details in terms of how much space we had and what the buildable size of a house would be relative to others who provided estimates. He explained the setbacks, location of utilities, how they would access the site and generally provided a more realistic approach to what we could build on the site than other contractors we contacted. Iren designed the home and after a few minor amendments to the floor plan they arrived at a layout that maximized the functional space without feeling cramped or under utilised. Iren also repositioned the kitchen and altered the position of windows which allows more natural light to enter. We had the plans handed over to Alana to get the permit for, which took a little longer than I anticipated however she kept me informed as to what was going on which was great. It was mostly city issues! We were fortunate to have Sergeii manage the construction of our new home. The overall timeline was approximately 4 months from start to finish. There were a few delays due mainly to the inspection and materials. The build quality appears to be good. When I was checking a few things it all looked good: straight framing, good quality finishes and all inspects passed. We rented out the unit shortly after it was completed and so far it's been performing as promised. It wasn't all smooth but it was the best that it was under the circumstances and more controlled than either of us had hoped. read more

Our ADU was built by A+ Construction Pro as a long-term rental investment. We chose to go with these contractors after speaking with several other contractors. Their proposal seemed the most realistic and detailed. They broke down the bid out well and provided a step by step explanation of how they would complete the project. We went through a few designs before we settled on the final configuration. Trying to maximise the useable floor space whilst at the same time avoiding an over crowded feeling took a few iterations. Their ideas regarding the positioning of the kitchen and the orientation / size of the windows was spot on. It took approximately 5 months to build our home from start to finish. Even though there were a few delays along the way (minor as they were) due to inspections and miscellaneous scheduling hiccups, Sergei kept us informed throughout the construction process. Everyone seemed professional and did a great job keeping the mess to a minimum. After completing the renovation, the unit is roughly 650 sqft with 1 bedroom + 1 bathroom. It feels just right and the finishes looks great. The unit was put up for rent not long after completion and had a tenant within a week or so. It was a good investment. Overall, it was a very professional and structured experience. read more

We were on a hard deadline. Our first baby was due in 7 months, and my mother needed the ADU to be ready because she was coming to live with us. A+ Construction was the only builder who was able to make a deadline that was short enough to meet ours; every other builder quoted us around 9-12 months. They offered us a Rapid Delivery track, promising to finish in 6.5 months. Their construction 'secret' was parallel path construction with pre-ordered door and window frames. When the permit was in hand, we could actually see the time-lapse videos we felt like we were watching. They poured the foundation and in 4 days a crane came and in another 4 days, the shell was fully constructed and weather-tight. Nick, the project construction manager, lived on site. Other crews had overlapping schedules, and materials were always there. That's why there were no delays. Our only snag was the plumbing inspector was booked out. Their permit expediter had a replacement inspector on site in under 48 hours, meaning they finished in exactly 6 months. The speed was felt like a show. They didn't hustle,they eliminated wait times. Like anyone facing a firm deadline, the ability to deliver is a true superpower. Before our daughter arrived, they delivered us peace of mind, which was the best outcome possible. P.S. I'll leave some interior photos here. It looks like a cozy and comfortable home. My mom is absolutely love it. read more

My wife and I live in Austin with our newborn, but my aging parents are in the Natomas area, CA. After our baby arrived, we realized we needed my mom's help desperately, but squeezing into their existing house would have been chaotic for everyone - especially with a crying baby keeping my dad up at night. We decided to build a 2-story ADU in their backyard, and after researching several companies, chose A+ Construction ADU Builders. Honestly, being out-of-state owners made me nervous, but their team made it work seamlessly. The permit process was handled by Alana - she's a rockstar! Despite Sacramento's reputation for slow permits, she navigated everything in just 45 days. Our construction manager Sergei and project manager Anna were the dream team. Anna sent us weekly photo updates and video walkthroughs, which was crucial since we couldn't be there in person. When we noticed a potential issue with the foundation in one of her photos, Sergei had it addressed within 24 hours. There WAS a 2 week delay with window deliveries whis is supply chain issues, but Anna communicated this immediately and adjusted the timeline. The crew worked efficiently despite some rainy weeks. The finished ADU is perfect - my parents have their own space but can help with the baby during the day. Eventually, when we no longer need it, they can rent it out for supplemental income. The quality is solid, and the layout makes great use of the space. For any out-of-state children worrying about their aging parents like we were, A+ Construction ADU Builders made what could have been a stressful long-distance project surprisingly manageable. Five stars all around! read more

ADUs are typically constructed using a slab-on-grade or raised floor building techniques. However, in our ADU in Davis, we wanted a below-grade legal studio and a main floor that is above grade. Because of the extra complexity in below-grade construction waterproofing, earth retention structural engineering, egress, and ventilation, three other contractors either declined or quoted us 'go away' prices. A+ Construction had to put together a, from what I would consider, rather extensive team of a geotechnical engineer, a structural engineer who focused specifically on below-grade construction, and a waterproofing specialist. This team spent 2 months devising solutions to the feasibility of the laminated cast-in-place concrete bathtub structure, along with a drainage matte and waterproofing membrane that is warrantied. Construction for the team was a well organized performance. Each step was planned and reviewed. Waterproofing alone had five inspections before fill was back placed. Anna, the project manager, briefed us on technicalities every week, using 3D models to explain each construction phase. Everything went very well. The cost estimate was higher than we expected, but given the calculated risks, there would be no surprises. The finished space is amazing. The basement is dry, well lit by the light well, and very solid. This project demonstrates that A+ solves architectural and engineering puzzles. If your ambition is boundless, A+ has the technical and project management competence to match. read more

You can't make this up. While excavating the foundation for our ADU in Sacramento's old town, the backhoe encountered a layer of bricks and what appeared to be some old ceramics. The operator stopped working. The construction manager, Nick, got called. Within an hour, the site was secured and he had spoken to the city historical society. We had found what turned out to be a section of a 19th - century drainage ditch and some potentially important domestic artifacts. Work on the site was halted for 72 hours while a city archaeologist examined the area. The potential redesign and delay were anxiety-including. But this is where A+'s crisis management was spectacular. Nick organized a conference call with us, the archaeologist, and their engineer in less than 6 hours. The archaeologist said the artifacts could be documented, but not preserved, meaning they can take pictures and remove the artifacts. A+ took on the costs of the archaeological site visit and the delays. Their engineer then made changes to a section of the foundation so that it could cover the area of disturbance, while still keeping the structural integrity. Nick gave us one change order for the minor redesign of the foundation and said the crisis coats had been zeroed out. He said: This is a force majeure event. The project got back on track in a week. I think some of the builders would've tried to hide the find, or would've just as quickly shifted the exorbitant costs to us. A+ considered it a challenge and problem to be solved with skills and integrity. This particular instance showed that their premium isn't for when things go smoothly, rather it's a guarantee and a power structure for when things go incredibly wrong . Just for the peace of mind, it's worth every dollar. read more

Last week, I received a rather unexpected email from A+ : Our records show your ADU was completed last March. As we approach the one year mark, seasonal settling may manifest as small drywall cracks or minor caulking separation. Before your one year warranty expires, we would like to schedule a complimentary proactive maintenance visit with our finish foreman to inspect and address any such items. I scheduled the visit for the maintenance even though there were no issues I thought. Ben, the foreman, took two hours to inspect the unit. He pointed out 3 tiny cracks on the corners of the doors and one small exterior caulk section that had shrunk. He said it would be no charge, and no fuss. Ben's team patched the cracks, recaulked, and touched up the paint. I think very few companies prioritize maintenance like this. Often, the last payment is just the last payment. This is, for the construction industry, the best service I have had considering the quality and the cost. More than anything that occurred during construction, this one experience has further evidenced to me that they truly are the best ADU builder read more

Alright, here's the lowdown on our backyard ADU adventure. Honestly? Way less chaotic than I braced for. I mean, at first, we were sweating bullets permits, matching the thing to our main house, the whole timeline drama. You always hear horror stories, right? But, man, the crew we hired just... handled it. Like, actually handled it. Rod, the sales guy, deserves a medal for patience. We dragged him through a ridiculous number of meetings, grilled him about costs, design ideas, you name it, and he never once gave us that "hurry up" vibe. And then Iren (the designer) swooped in with a plan that somehow made our weird-shaped yard work. Permits were nightmare fuel thanks to our protected trees and the whole "partial flood zone" mess. But Olga, the permit whisperer magically got it done in under two months. Kept us updated, too, so we weren't left guessing. Once they broke ground, Nick took over. This guy runs a construction site like he's herding caffeinated cats, nothing gets by him. We did hit a snag with some stubborn rock under the foundation, but he pivoted fast, sorted it out in a few days, and kept things moving. We even hit him with a couple of last-minute "oh, can we add this?" requests (hello, USB outlets), and he just rolled with it. No drama, no sneaky upcharges. Team finished the project in exactly when they said we would, and honestly, the place looks killer. Solid construction, feels like it's always belonged in the backyard. Sure, there were a couple of tiny things to touch up but Nick snapped his fingers and it was handled. Looking back, picking this team was a win. If you're thinking about building an ADU and don't want a migraine, I'd say give them a call. A+ Construction & Remodeling actually know what they're doing which is not always a given in this game. read more

After conducting interviews with 3 other contractors, I selected A+ Construction ADU Builders for our ADU venture and I'm really glad that I did. From the start, Oleg came across as honest and insightful. He made no overblown guarantees or yanked numbers out of thin air just to impress us. Instead, he was considered and candid, which really set him apart. My brother has over 10 years of experience reviewing construction contracts, and even he was impressed with the terms Oleg provided. The structure of the payments made a lot of sense, and it felt fair and low-risk for us as homeowners. That kind of transparency meant a lot, especially since we've seen friends get burned by bad contractors in the past.Our project was not a simple one, but Oleg and his crew made it look easy. They kept us in the loop through every stage of the permitting process. And when the permit came, construction began immediately. There wasn't a week went by when there was not some one on-site working. Sergei, the construction manager, was great the way he coordinated everything was smooth as silk and got inspections moving along in a flash. All the subcontractors that we spoke with had great things to say about him. Yes, we did have a couple of failed inspections the first time around but what was really impressive was how fast the crew moved. They corrected the changes the city asked them to make within a day, sometimes staying late to complete everything and emailing pictures to the inspector to be approved the very next day. There was no question how committed they were to doing it right. Other than that, every single person we dealt with was so courteous and friendly. They seemed to care about what they were doing and the project as a whole not about finishing up and getting paid. In the sewer process, we encountered an unforeseen problem with the antiquated piping. Sergei didn't blame someone else,he owned up to it and managed it like a pro. I realize construction is always full of surprises, but how Sergei responded taught us that this company isn't all about going through the motions. They pride themselves on doing excellent work and doing what is right for their clients. Also, Sergei made a special effort to help us keep costs low on finishes and materials. Whenever we had a question, he would follow up right away and make sure we had all the things we needed. I really can't sing the praises of this company highly enough. If you're going to be building an ADU, A+ is a crew you can trust. read more

We recenrly finished our ADU with A+ Construction ADU Builders and we are thrilled! From the beginning to the end it was super easy to work with them. Brenda and Alexander were very kind and responsive whenever we had questions. Our project manager Mike kept us on schedule and was in touch regularly which relieved a lot of stress off our plate. The permitting process took longer than we anticipated, mostly because of delays on the city side, but they dispatched all these issues with no drama. They managed all the back and forth with the city officials, and we received updates throughout the entire process. Once we received the permits everything happened quickly. There weren't any delays and the actual construction went smoothly, and it took just under three months to complete our ADU. We then had some custom touch ups and upgrades that the team also easily accommodated exactly to our specifications, with no problems. The final project was way beyond our expectations. The space is beautiful, largely functional contemporary, and a wonderful addition to our property overall. We would definitely recommend A+ Construction to anyone looking to build an ADU. read more

I had two ADUs built on my multifamily property by A+ Construction & Remodeling, and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. From the beginning, Victor brought a solid understanding of both construction and real estate investment, which made a huge difference for me. The team helped break down the numbers and guided me in making smart choices that stayed within budget while still adding value to the property. The work itself was done with care and attention to detail. Nick and his subs team were professional, showed up on time, and communicated throughout. All the work was done to a high quality, and I could tell they took pride in the work. This was a big project for me financially, and I believe I made the right choice using A+ Construction & Remodeling and will be using them for future properties in the area. Good crew, great result. read more

Both my partner and I work for different law firms. As stressful as our jobs can be, the one thing we won't tolerate is chaos. When we decided to construct an ADU on our Elverta property, our concern wasn't cost, but rather the value of the experience. A+ Construction, for example, is different from the rest, because of their price point. Construction is responsible for a 'white glove' service, and the price they charge is justified for the experience. The difference is structural. You are not given a project manager. You are given a whole dedicated team. We were assigned a Client Liaison, a Design Coordinator, a Project Manager (Anna), and a Construction Director (Sergei). Each of them responsible for a different role on their team. Design Coordinator for site visits and material selections, project manager for budget and schedules, and Client Liaison of course for administration and meeting follow ups. Out of all of them I think I appreciated Sergei the most. He was the most diligent and responsible of them all. He was smooth in the way he shifted technicians. It was the only time I have ever seen a construction site of their type. With regard to the proprietary permit-accelerating services, Alana, who appears to have a rapport with every single planning officer, secured our permits in half the time our neighbors waited. The updates were not emails, they were polished one-page PDFs. One included a graph of budget actuals, and one tracked adherence to the schedule. Expensive? Absolutely. However, considering the value of the 100+ hours I saved myself from not having to manage, chase, or stress, the value of the premium paid is easily justifiable. They completed their work three weeks ahead of an already aggressive deadline. For time-poor, high-earning professionals, who regard time as a non-renewable resource, and seek a fully turnkey, low-friction, high-certainty experience, A+ is not a contractor in the traditional sense. They are a luxury service provider, and they are wonderful at it. read more

After soliciting quotes from numerous companies to handle our ADU project, we met with five different contractors. When Rod from A+ Construction arrived, he stood out immediately. He was the only contractor to bring printed blueprints to the meeting, which impressed us. He genuinely listened to our wants, asked insightful questions, & was not offering anything in return. From the start, everything was transparent. Rod explained pricing and what to anticipate in all phases of the project. Additionally, he provided us with ideas we had not thought of before. The communication was regular and open, providing a lot of responsiveness and knowledge throughout the process.We thought A+ would be priced out of our price range, but based on the service we received we deemed them to be the best to work with. We are now nearing the end. Construction is essentially complete, and we are waiting for the final inspection, so feel confident everything will go fine. We had an excellent experience, and I would strongly recommend A+ to anyone considering building an ADU. read more

It was a wonderful experience with A+ Construction ADU Builders on our 680 sq ft ADU. Their people put us at ease and kept us in the know right from the beginning. The entire process - design to final inspection - went smoothly, and the finished space was better than we imagined. Huge thanks to Nick, Almina, Andrew, and Mia. Nick was just the absolute star and always so eager to respond to our questions. Almina and Andrew kept the project running fabulously, with everything staying on schedule and on track. And Mia had just such a wonderful sense of aesthetics -- her suggestions really served to pull the whole space together in a functional, yet absolutely stunning, way. What was most impressive to me was the professionalism and care the team showed throughout the building process. They clearly care about their work, and it shows in every detail of the finished product. If you're considering building an ADU, I strongly suggest A+ Construction. We're completely thrilled with the result and truly grateful to the entire team. read more

So we had this attached garage in the back of our house that was literally a black hole for junk ( see photos before and after). My husband kept saying that we should convert it into something useful but it seemed like such a big, expensive thing, and so, we kept postponing it. Then last year my mom fell and broke her hip and the whole conversation suddenly got serious. She was no longer able to do stairs and our home is full of them. Assisted living? Definitely not. Living with us? She'd have to sleep in the living room. So, the garage idea went from " someday" to " we need to get this done yesterday". We called A+ Construction first because a neighbour had used them and said they were good but a little bit pricey. And yes, they're not cheap. But really? Now I understand. The sales manager was a guy named Victor. He stepped out, looked at our garage in shambles, and didn't even flinch. He asked me about my mom, what she needed, what she liked. My mom is using a walker now, and Victor made sure that everything was wide enough, no steps anywhere, the shower has a little reclining bench attached to the wall and these grab bars that actually look nice, not like hospital equipment. Construction was done in about 4 months I guess. We were still living in the house all that time which was frustrating but the crew was respectful. They started at 8 , finished by 3, cleaned the place every day. There was a guy that greeted my dog every morning which was cute. Our driveway was torn up for a while but what can you do. The only real issue was delay of the custom windows. Like 3 weeks late. Anna, PM, called us right away, apologized , showed us the mail from the supplier. There was nothing she could do but she kept us updated instead of leaving us in the dark. That was important. My mom has now been here for 2 months. She has her own small house. She can get to the kitchen and bathroom without any help. She turns her shows up very loud because she's a little hard of hearing and I can't hear it from the main house. She has her own patio where she sits and reads. The garage is no more. Instead, there is now real home where my mom can live comfortably and I don't have to worry about her falling down stairs. It's also a nice space. Great light, warm in winter, they really did a good job insulating it. My husband is already thinking of buidling another one on the other side of the yard for a home office. We'll probably hire these guys again. If you're considering doing this for a parent, do it. It's costly and it's a hassle during the works but seeing my mom sitting on her little porch with her coffee makes it a worthwhile investment. A+ was not the cheapest but they did it the right way and I don't have to worry about her. That's the whole point. read more

When we began searching for a construction company to turn our garage into an ADU, we wanted an experienced, reliable team that did great work. We contacted several companies, compared their prices, and checked out their previous work before deciding. A+ Construction & Remodeling was the best choice. Other companies sent bids, but A+ actually showed us completed projects and ones in progress so we could see how good their work was. That honesty and professionalism made us comfortable choosing them. Now that our ADU is done, we're really glad we picked them! The space has a good design, is useful, and has great finishing touches. Our old garage is now a great rental unit that will bring in extra money. If you're thinking about converting your garage or doing any ADU project, I suggest A+ Construction & Remodeling,they do what they say they will! read more

I wasn't planning on leaving LA for Vacaville anytime soon, but when my dad's health began to deteriorate and my mom required assistance, it just made sense to be nearby. I adore my parents -- genuinely -- but after being on my own for almost ten years, the thought of returning to the family home seemed like a surefire way to lose my mind. I began researching possibilities and came across the concept of constructing an ADU. I did not know anything about how it functioned, but after a few calls and one very helpful consultation, I chose to use A+ Construction & Remodeling. I'm not gonna lie -- I was a little nervous at first. Construction projects have a reputation, and I've heard the horror stories. But honestly? These guys came through. They worked with me to design a one-bedroom ADU that actually feels like a real home, not a shed with plumbing. Full bath, tiny kitchen, tons of light -- even space for a reading nook (my one requirement!). They managed all the logistics I had no clue how to handle -- permits, inspections, utilities, you name it. I work from home, so I was living with my parents for most of the construction, and I could tell that the crew arrived when they were supposed to and cleaned up after themselves, which I appreciated for sure. Now that it's done, I finally have my own place -- a short walk from my parents but with just enough privacy to still feel like an adult. We even joked that it's the healthiest way to live with family -- close but not too close. So yeah, if you're in the same boat and trying to find that balance between being there for your loved ones and keeping some independence, building an ADU might actually be your answer. And I'd definitely recommend checking out A+. They made a big transition in my life feel doable. read more

Once we bought our home, we knew we wanted to have a detached ADU built in the backyard, though we had no idea where to start. After looking through a number of companies, we settled on A+ Construction, which turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The project involved building a completely separate unit with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living space. In the beginning, everything felt overwhelming, but they walked us through every step of the way. They designed, acquired permits, and did the construction with such great attention to detail, making sure the ADU fitted perfectly with our property. What shone the most, however, was their flexibility and willingness to tailor the project to our needs. The design team worked closely with us, creating a space that was functional and beautiful at the same time. Now that it's done, I would say that A+ Construction went beyond what we had in mind. The ADU turned out better than we had pictured, and so we can't recommend them highly enough to anyone else considering building one! read more

The A+ Building group was with us each step of the way, making the whole ADU build a easy and calm experience. Changing a garage into a working one-bedroom, one-bathroom space became more hard than we first thought but their skill made all the change. Like with any large task, there were some unplanned troubles along the path and even the weather wasn't always working for us. But no matter what, a A+ team kept us updated, dealt with each problem in a skilled way, and made sure all stayed on course. Even in heavy rains, crew showed up and kept job going ahead. They was skilled, fair, and really nice to work with. Now that a project is finished, we can't be more happy with how it came out. The quality of the job speaks by itself and we're very thankful to A+ Construction for bringing our idea to life! read more
