Yes, Inspired Builders will handle all necessary permits for your ADU project. In California, ADU construction typically requires zoning clearance, building permits, and adherence to local city regulations. We ensure your project complies with the latest California state laws, such as SB 9 and AB 68, to streamline approvals.
California state law allows homeowners to build ADUs on most residential properties, but size and placement depend on your property’s lot size and zoning. For example, detached ADUs are typically limited to 1,200 square feet, while junior ADUs (JADUs) max out at 500 square feet. Our team conducts a feasibility analysis to determine the best ADU size and type for your property.
California’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards require ADUs to meet specific energy-saving measures, including insulation, efficient HVAC systems, and solar readiness. At Inspired Builders, we design and build ADUs to meet or exceed these requirements.
The timeline for an ADU project is determined by factors such as design complexity, permit processes, and construction scope. On average:
Inspired Builders will provide a detailed project timeline and maintain open communication throughout the process.
EXCELLENT Based on 60 reviews Sumit Saraogi2025-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David / Inspired Builder finished our remodel last year. This was an addition of 500 sq ft with one bed and bath, and an entire house remodel. It turned out to be a big project. Inspired builder helped us through the entire journey: design - permit- parts/ finishing - construction, etc. We had good fun. Inception to permit approval took 6 months; and permit to house move-in took six months—incredible commitment and quality. I loved the transparency of the team. One thing I really liked about the team was they provided some ideas that did not cost us money or were almost free during the project with some alterations; for example, for one of the rooms, we got a high ceiling, which was not in the plan. Turned out to be pretty cool. Aviram Levi2025-01-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a first-time homeowner, I was definitely nervous going into this project. My house needed a lot of work, and I had no idea what to expect, especially with the stories you hear about contractors taking forever or doing sloppy work. But from the moment I met David, all my worries melted away- so i decided to hire David and Inspired Builders to Remodel my kitchen and bathroom. Inspired Builders team was professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. From the design phase- Nicole took the time to listen to my ideas and answered all my questions. David and the crew helped guide me through the whole process. Even when I wasn’t sure about something, such as the type of countertop or what type of flooring i should go with, they gave me clear options which made me feel more confident about my choices. What really impressed me was how organized they were. The timeline was spot on, and the work was absolutely fabulous. Of course sometime they had last minute updates that affected the schedule, but David always informed me at least 24hr in advance so i could plan my day around. The finished product turned out way better than I imagined. The quality of the work is top-notch. I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together. They made what could’ve been a stressful process feel easy, and the result speaks for itself. My house feels brand new, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for! Would 100% work with them again for any future projects! Demian Oliveira2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with David and the Inspired team for a 400sqft home addition that included adding a bedroom and bath and relocating a bathroom. The project was finished on time, and David was incredibly accommodating and worked closely with us to make sure everything met our needs. Having the architect and designer under the same company was a big help—they made changes quickly and explained the costs, which made it so much easier to make decisions and stay on budget. The work turned out great, and we’re really happy with the results. Highly recommend! Emily Phan2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Inspired Builders exceeded our expectations. They remodeled our entire house—kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, hallways, wet bar, laundry room and flooring through the house. They understood our vision and thanks to them we now live in our dream house. Barak oversaw the entire project and was great at responding to all of our questions. We also lived with our three children during the entire project and everyone on the team was always very thoughtful and respectful when it came to giving us our space and privacy. And of course the cherry on top was that they were reasonably priced and help us to stay (for the most part) on budget. Dakota Briggs2025-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David did an outstanding job on a complex electrical project. For sure, we will hire David and Inspired Builders for any future work Gerald Schneider2025-01-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Barak on our full home remodel was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our house, built in the 1970s, had outdated systems, poor insulation, and a confusing layout that no longer suited our family's needs. One major challenge was the old electrical wiring, which couldn’t handle modern appliances. Barak worked closely with his licensed electricians to rewire the entire house. They skillfully navigated the outdated infrastructure, ensuring that all new wiring was up to code and safely integrated with our modern systems. Another issue was inadequate insulation, which made our home uncomfortable and energy-inefficient. David Lopez proposed installing high-performance insulation and double-glazed windows throughout the house. They coordinated with insulation experts to ensure that the installation was thorough, improving our home's energy efficiency and comfort significantly. Throughout the remodel, Barak communicated clearly and regularly, addressing any issues promptly and keeping the project on track. The final result was a beautifully updated home that blends modern comfort with its historical character. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!! Jessie Graham2025-01-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jose and David are very skilled! they were very professional and completed the job as requested. My new living room looks like a 5 star hotel’s lobby. Great job Inspired Builders. Milan Redzic2024-12-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Yahalom Meiri2024-12-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a home remodeling project done by Inspired Builders and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team came on the same day, and from the moment they started working, they were professional, efficient, and attentive to every detail. They completely transformed our living room, addressing everything from design changes to structural updates. The work was done flawlessly, and the finished space exceeded our expectations. What really impressed me was their ability to solve unexpected challenges along the way, making sure everything was done right and on time. The renovation truly saved the feel of our home and gave us a fresh, modern look just in time for the holidays! Highly recommend this company for any home project!" William Childers2024-12-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barak was great to work with. He was not just helping me out with my needs but also recommending the most cost-effective solutions, even when they weren’t in his favor. Hard to see such professionals that care about the customers’ needs! Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable understanding We'll explain Under stood his company s motive Romes C.2024-09-28Verified We were very happy with the team at I soured builders. David, Adam, Jose and all the other workers they pulled in for our bathroom remodel and other projects were spectacular. They were always on time, worked diligently, pulled in the best suppliers and service providers...very responsive. We ran into various supply and design challenges as we worked through the project, but always managed to solve problems on the spot without incurring added costs. Their team creatively solved problems and challenges, and put in the time to get the job done right and beautifully. The foreman was particularly conscientious about his work and his team was pleasant, always cleaning up at the end of the day and getting along well with our family and pets. Gary C.2024-09-27Verified We just finished a big project with Inspired Builders and I could not be happier with the results. We decided to have one of our bathrooms completely remodeled and the other two upgraded - new tile and toilet in one, new vanity and lighted mirror medicine cabinet in the other two. While this was all happening we also engaged IB to do a complete re-piping of our plumbing, replacing the old galvanized pipes for copper. Everything came out so good! The whole project team was fantastic, but big thanks go to our project manager, Adam. He was always available, either onsite or by phone, and he kept us informed of everything they were doing and what they needed from us to be successful. They did all of that and were still very cost-effective. They are definitely my go-to for any future home remodeling projects. Ben P.2024-09-19Verified We recently completed a kitchen and bathroom remodel with Inspired Builders, and we couldn't be happier! After consulting with five different companies, we chose them, with Eden as our project manager. Even though we met with Eden a few times before making our decision, we knew from the very first meeting that he was the right fit for our project. As first-time remodelers, my wife and I had no experience with this process, but Eden made everything smooth and easy to understand. He was always clear, communicative, and quick to address any questions or concerns we had. Eden and his team helped us from start to finish--guiding us through layouts, material selections, and even providing an amazing 3D rendering of our vision. Seeing the rendering was exciting, but watching it all come together in real life was even better! We highly recommend Eden and Inspired Builders for anyone looking to create their dream space. Five stars for an outstanding job! Rose K.2024-08-20Verified In an industry where trust, loyalty, and transparency are paramount, I was fortunate to find Inspired Builders and our project manager, Eden. From the very first step, Eden was clear and honest, answering all my questions. He was very creative and, along with his in-house design team, helped us remodel our kitchen and two bathrooms. Every phase of the project went as expected, from planning and design to obtaining city permits, and finally to the construction work itself. Inspired Builders' workers showed up on time every day, were kind and professional, and left our house clean at the end of each day. After a few months, we ended up with a gorgeous and functional kitchen and two bathrooms! I would like to especially highlight the impressive tile work. At the end of the project, Barak, one of the business owners, joined Eden and us for a walkthrough as part of their quality control process to ensure our satisfaction. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed! Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with a contractor in our home for the first time, and we will definitely work with Eden and Inspired Builders in the future! Hanan G.2024-07-30Verified We recently completed our 3 bathrooms and the kitchen renovation with Inspired Builders. Our project manager, Barak, did an excellent job taking our input and providing us with several options of varying complexity/price. We visited showrooms with Nicole the designer and found materials to our liking amongst a large selection. The full three-dimensional computer rendering of the design options (the renderings included the materials we had selected and appliances we had indicated we were going to use) was particularly useful in making our decision. Choosing the most complex, we were estimated 6-8 week completion time. Barak and his crews completed the work in just 6 weeks. Barak communicated constantly by phone/text/email and was always prompt with answers and options to any questions we had throughout the project. The entire kitchen and pantry were torn down to the frames, walls/post removed, beams installed, water, drains and gas lines were moved. The crews were extremely skilled at their tasks and worked quite fast while maintaining quality and safety. Moreover, in watching the crews work, I could visibly see that they enjoyed their work, and took pride in doing things correctly and completely The kitchen was fully walled off with plastic with a zipper door. The site was swept and cleaned every day. They were particularly diligent in moving our washer/dryer in/out of the house constantly, so we could maintain the use of our laundry as much as possible. As a very curious person, I very much appreciate their patience in my watching them work and answering quite a lot questions about how and why things were done. I would recommend Inspired Builders, Barak , for your next renovation project! R M.2024-07-30Verified Inspired Builders redid our bathroom. Working with them was a great process. They have clear communication and are very responsive. They were supportive in the design and the permitting. The team was punctual and polite and good around the house, including when my kids were around. We would definitely work with them again. James B.2024-07-01Verified This is long overdue, but never too late to share a great experience. I had no idea what to expect or what we were getting ourselves into when we chose Inspired Builders. We had a great feeling after our first meeting with our Project Manage, Ben. Then it kept going when we met with showroom ladies. They helped us pick out all the little details that would make up our new remodel. It got dusty and we remained in our house as we went through an entire remodel. ceiling, floors, bathrooms, bedrooms, all of it. Wow, what an adventure. Even with the unexpected events that surfaced, we were amazed at the professionalism of the crew and the project manager. While we were in it, it was crazy, but the end result was amazing. My wife and I are happy and we are super satisfied with the results. It was an adventure but one that we look back and say it was totally worth it. We are very satisfied and will be happy to share our experience with anyone.
