    Garage conversion to 1 bedroom ADU
    Nicole M.

    Custom ADU builder did our 2 car garage conversion to a 1bedroom-1bathroom ADU. I'm a realtor and know many contractors and have also heard of the horror stories from others and their experiences with contractors so I was very selective when choosing the contractor to do work on our home. After inquiring and reviewing with several contractors for the job, my husband and I, ultimately decided to go with Custom ADU builders and their contractor Dennis. Dennis was professional, on top of everything, always responded promptly to any calls/texts which was wonderful during the process to have someone so responsive. He did our plans for our space, submitted it all to the city and built it. So it was nice he was a one-stop shop. Usually with others you have to get the plans done from someone else and take to the contractor. With Dennis he did the plans and also was the contractor, which I thought was amazing, in case anything needed adjusting during the process he is both. I like having to not deal with multiple people and moving pieces. The more streamlined the process, the better. Which custom ADU builder does. I'm attaching the photos of our place, it's so spacious and nice, I can't believe it used to be our garage! It's amazing what they were able to do with the space. We built it for my In-laws to retire in. They are now moved in, they moved in beginning of June 2023 and it's been wonderful. They've made it home. Custom ADU builder worked quick and did quality work. I'm impressed and now recommending all my friends and clients to them. All his workers were very lovely, and worked hard. I'm really impressed with how our space turned out. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a contractor. We also just had a leak in our kitchen and having to get it redone, they were my first call. I trust them and look forward to continuous work with them for all our contractor needs in the future! Thank you Dennis and Custom ADU Builder!

    Dennis and his crew at Custom ADU Builder are top notch. He will go out to your property and provide a free estimate for your proposed project. He was very knowledgeable in general construction and answered all my questions. I walked a couple of his jobsites and was blown away with how well they turned out. He has his showcase home in Fullerton and is willing to take you to his on going projects throughout LA and OC.

    Hope I never see this guy and his "work crew" (if you can call them that) again.. This was our first project and it was a nightmare dealing with him! I regret recommending him to my neighbor who also had a bad experience with him. He talks a good game before signing a contract, 3 weeks later everything goes downhill from there. Poor work ethic, poor communication, no work for months unless we're in the ADU doing it ourselves. We had to buy items that were included in our contract. We painted and stucco ourselves. His own workers would take off on him. Can't trust him! He promise to finish our ADU in less than 3 months TOOK ALMOST A YEAR!!! (( FYI ADU PICTURES HE POST ARE FROM HIS OWN PROPERTY NOT CUSTOMERS EXCEPT FOR THE BLUE HOUSE)

    Just finished our detached garage, ADU in Long Beach. Dennis was amazing and is a good man. He finished ahead of schedule on budget and it looks beautiful. Already have referred him to 2 new clients and they are happy also. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

    I'm a homeowner in Buena Park and had my ADU built by Dennis and his team. Short version of my experience: Excellent and open communication, expectations met, satisfied with timeframe of construction and quality of the build. Long story of my experience: I wanted to build a 1,000 sqft 3/2 ADU behind by house. I initially started by reaching out to architects to have plans made that I could then send to builders for bids. This was a waste of time and money. Most are not familiar with the ins and outs of ADUs. I finally found Dennis and was able to see his ADU builds and spent weeks talking with him before signing a contract. He specializes in ADUs and works with an architect that will get your plans approved without much delay. After signing the contract, we all met to walk the property and discuss the best way to use the property. Within a week, the plans were submitted to the city! They were approved quickly and without issue. Construction started the day they were approved and the Total build time was 4 months. I could write a novel on this positive experience but the take away is that there were no surprises and no regrets working with Dennis.

    My new best friend lol. My contractor Dennis

    My husband and I had the privilege of working with Dennis (Custom ADU Builder), to bring our Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to life. Dennis exemplified exceptional integrity, consistently maintaining transparency and honesty throughout the project. Despite my frequent calls--sometimes up to seven or eight times a day for five months--Dennis consistently answered and returned every call. As a client I started this process with limited construction knowledge, but since I bombarded Dennis with so many questions, I'm leaving this experience damn near an expert. LOL His unwavering responsiveness was truly appreciated. There were days when I didn't call with questions, and he would proactively reach out, humorously noting, "I didn't get a call from you today," to which I'd reply, "It's still early; I've got all night to think of some stuff." Navigating the inherently messy and chaotic construction process, Dennis remained calm and reassuring, addressing every concern we had. I must confess, I wasn't the easiest client--I was the one who showed up with my own leveler and measuring tape. What distinguishes Dennis (ADU Custom Builder) is his visionary approach. Standing in our backyard, he envisioned more than we initially thought could fit in the space--a two-bedroom, two-bath ADU--and he delivered on that vision. Dennis not only grasped our needs but also provided insightful suggestions that elevated the overall design of our ADU. The craftsmanship displayed by Dennis and his team was nothing short of outstanding, reflecting their unwavering commitment to excellence. Were there challenges along the way? Absolutely, but the end results make it all worthwhile. We wholeheartedly recommend Dennis for any construction project; his integrity, responsiveness, and visionary approach make him a standout professional in the industry. Thanks to Dennis (Custom ADU Builder) and his team, our ADU is everything!!

    Remodeled shower

    Dennis and his team at Custom ADU Builder came thru for us again. After the fantastic job they did on our ADU project last year, we had Dennis remodel our outdated bathroom. You can see by the pictures the absolutely complete overhaul he did. New tile, flooring, vanity, fixtures, and paint. This was all completed in two weeks despite some delays due to the rains we have been having. And at a very competitive rate. Can't thank Dennis and his team enough and I again wholeheartedly recommend this company for any projects/remodels you have in mind. Thanks again Dennis!!!

It was shared fence with two other neighbors and they agreed to share in the cost. I asked four different Companies to bid on a new cinder block wall. In the end only two Companies provided quotes. The prices were similar. I chose National Concrete based upon Brian La Fuente and his honest and straight forward approach. The project consisted of demo an existing wood fence and build a 219 linear feet cinder block wall with Orco split face blocks. The National Concrete team for my project was 3 highly skilled and very efficient craftsmen. I was amazed at the fast pace of the work for only three guys. They did not take short cuts. The crew worked straight through on the job. In the end it took four weeks to complete the fence including all city inspections. I think the work quality was top notch. Brian La Fuente and the guys at National Concrete were reliable and a pleasure to work with. Brian and the crew were always respectful and very responsive to my requests during the project. Very pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend Brian and the National Concrete crew for your concrete project.

Brian was ~7 mins earlier waiting in his pickup truck when we met onsite for the first time. He was polite, professional, and he listened very carefully. He got back to me by EOD first day we met whether my original plan needs a city permit or not, as well as all the additional expenses and the timeline. I interviewed 3 other contractors for the same project before Brian. All of them gave wishy washy answers when I asked about permit. Brian was the only one who provided me clear and professional answer to this question. I knew I would work with this gentleman at that very moment. As to time management, Brian was also great. He started working on the project on the exact day he promised, and finished it as scheduled as well. When there was any change, he would keep me posted without me having to ask anything. I appreciate this very much, as I waited for months beyond the original start date with another contractor who seems popular on Yelp, yet ended up being told to find someone else cuz he was too busy. Several months were wasted and everything got more expensive at that point. Brian is very responsive and thorough. He has very high standards for himself as well as the team. Whenever you raise a concern, he'll deal with it instantly and deliver results. He really means it when he says he wants everything perfect. You can tell he really enjoy doing what he's been doing and is very good at it. We got so much compliment from neighbors when the project is completed. Even some strangers passing by would stop to say "Nice work". I would have no hesitation to recommend Brian and his team to anyone.
