Local Custom Home Builder Expertise

How We Work

From first conversation to final walkthrough, we follow a clear, accountable process.

What's Involved

Building a home or ADU requires careful sequencing. We break the work into phases so you always know what's happening and why.

You'll always know what's happening next—and why it matters.

Our Services

We deliver a full range of residential construction services, each tailored to Sacramento's diverse lot sizes and neighborhood styles.

Custom Home Construction

Building a home from scratch gives you control over every detail. Whether you're creating a primary residence in Natomas or a luxury home in Carmichael, we handle the full process from site selection through final inspection.

We work with your architect or our design partners to create plans that fit your lot size and neighborhood context. Many Sacramento properties have utility or setback constraints that require experienced problem-solving.

• Full design-build services from concept to completion
• Code-compliant construction for City and County jurisdictions
• Attention to neighborhood character and existing home styles

ADU Construction & Design

ADUs are one of the fastest-growing ways Sacramento homeowners add value and flexibility to their properties. We specialize in detached backyard cottages, garage conversions, and attached in-law units.

Sacramento allows up to 1,200 square feet for detached ADUs with only a 4-foot setback from rear and side property lines. Many suburban neighborhoods like Arden-Arcade and Carmichael have the lot sizes needed for spacious detached units.

• Detached backyard cottages for rental income or family housing
• Garage conversions that maximize existing structures
• Junior ADUs (up to 500 sq ft) carved from existing home space

With California's streamlined ADU approval process, the City of Sacramento must approve or deny applications within 60 days of a complete submission.

ADU Design & Planning Services

Many Sacramento homes were built decades ago with different utility and plumbing configurations. We assess existing electrical panels, sewer lines, and water capacity before finalizing designs.

Land Park and Tahoe Park residents, for example, often find that older electrical systems need upgrading for ADU compliance. We factor these costs in early so there are no surprises.

• Feasibility assessments for detached and garage conversion ADUs
• Utility planning including electrical load analysis and plumbing routes
• Floor plan optimization for small spaces with full functionality

Permitting & Code Compliance

We handle all interactions with the City of Sacramento Development Services Department and County Building Permits and Inspections. Our team stays current with 2022 California Residential Code requirements and local ordinances.

Complete permit packages include site plans, floor plans, elevations, structural calculations, electrical diagrams, plumbing layouts, and energy compliance documentation. A complete application matters—it accelerates approval.

• All architectural and engineering plan preparation
• Title 24 energy calcs and environmental assessments
• Concurrent plan review requests to save approval time

Why Local Expertise Matters

Sacramento's neighborhoods have distinct characteristics. What works in Curtis Park may not work in Pocket. We build with those differences in mind.

Zoning & Local Regulations

Sacramento has its own ADU ordinance with different rules than state minimums. Parking requirements, setbacks, and lot size rules vary between City of Sacramento and unincorporated County areas.

Some neighborhoods like McKinley Park and Curtis Park have additional design guidelines to preserve neighborhood character. We help you navigate these early so you're not surprised during review.

Utility & Infrastructure Constraints

Older neighborhoods like Tahoe Park, Land Park, and Colonial Heights often have outdated electrical panels, undersized water lines, and aging sewer connections. We assess these upfront and budget for upgrades so costs don't balloon during construction.

Garage conversions require separate utility metering and modern HVAC. Our team knows the common pitfalls in Sacramento's vintage housing stock and plans around them.

Building Type & Site Challenges

Sacramento's lot sizes vary dramatically. Natomas and newer areas have planned subdivision lots with ample space. Historic neighborhoods feature narrow urban lots where a detached ADU needs careful site placement.

We design around existing trees, easements, and slope conditions so your ADU fits naturally into your yard and maintains neighborhood consistency.

Serving Sacramento & Greater Metro

We work throughout Sacramento and surrounding communities where custom home and ADU demand is strongest.

Primary Service Areas

East Sacramento, Curtis Park, Land Park, Midtown, Tahoe Park, Natomas, Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills.

Whether you're working within City limits or unincorporated County land, we understand the different approval timelines and design standards.

Neighborhood Familiarity

We have completed projects in Curtis Park's tree-lined streets, Land Park's multi-generational estates, East Sacramento's historic homes, and newer subdivisions in Natomas and Folsom. We know what works in each neighborhood and what the local review process expects.
