  • No Owner Occupancy: Owner-occupancy requirements eliminated statewide. You can rent both units.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

47 ADU projects in Seattle and King County. Here's what homeowners say about working with our team.

“We were nervous about the $520K budget but Loren walked us through every line item before we signed anything. Permit came back in 7 weeks — faster than neighbors who used a different contractor — and we're now renting our Ballard DADU for $2,800/month. ROI is real.”

Sarah M.

Ballard

Detached ADU
“Our Capitol Hill lot is only 4,500 sq ft and we assumed a DADU was out of the question. The team found a rear-yard setback solution that fit a 680 sq ft unit without touching our existing garage. We had no idea SMC 23.44.041 gave us that flexibility.”

Derek & Priya T.

Capitol Hill

Detached ADU
“We converted our detached garage in Phinney Ridge into a 550 sq ft ADU for my mother-in-law. The existing slab needed zero modification — they handled the structural engineering in-house. Total cost came in at $185K, which was $30K under the estimate we got from another builder.”

James K.

Phinney Ridge

Garage Conversion
“Permitting in Seattle scared us away from starting for two years. Carlos and Loren handled every submission and every DCI comment — we never once had to call the city. Project went from signed contract to certificate of occupancy in 11 months.”

Michelle O.

Greenwood

Attached ADU
“We have a 6,200 sq ft lot in Rainier Beach and they designed a 780 sq ft DADU that's energy-code compliant and already pre-approved under Seattle's ADU fast-track program. Framing started three weeks after permit issuance. Extremely organized process.”

Andre & Kameko W.

Rainier Beach

Detached ADU
“I was quoted $90K just for architectural drawings by another firm before I found Seattle ADU Builders. Their in-house design-build model cut that overhead completely. Our Wallingford basement conversion came in on budget and the tenant moved in ahead of schedule.”
