The homeowners plan to reside in the ADU while completing a full remodel of the existing front duplex into a single-family home. Once construction is complete, the ADU will serve as a flexible space for rental income and visiting family.
L&D provided extensive support throughout the process, including parcel reconfigurations, address retirements, property combinations, and coordination with the City to help bring the project to completion.
"professional, extremely competent and very communicative."
"David Schultz and his team at L&D just built us a new garage with a gorgeous ADU above. The process of working with an architect and then finding a good builder had been very stressful. We were nearly ready to sign a building contract with another firm when we met Sarah Senderhauf from L&D. Sarah told us that L&D specializes in ADUs and after seeing a new ADU that they had built in our neighborhood, we asked them to give us a project estimate.
We hired L&D for a number of reasons, including of course their competitive estimate and their extensive experience building ADUs. But, what set them apart was our feeling that we could trust them. They were friendly, professional and communicated clearly with us, explaining all aspects of the building process and providing what turned out to be a very accurate estimate of how long the build would take. They also impressed us with their familiarity with the permitting process, which had been bogging us down.
After we signed our contract with L&D and throughout the building process, we were entirely satisfied. L&D delivered on everything they had promised. We came in slightly under budget, slightly under the completion date in the contract, and the process was smooth. They remained, throughout the project, professional, extremely competent and very communicative. And, also very importantly: the finished product is well built and beautiful.
We had never done a building project on this scale before and were expecting at least some time and cost overages, and certainly more stress because we were feeling plenty of it during the design process and the search for a builder. L&D told us when we hired them that they would make the rest of the project less stressful and more enjoyable, and they absolutely delivered on this promise. And as we have hired them to fully renovate our house, we are confident that they will come through for us again."
