Home Additions & ADUs

An addition is the point where a remodel becomes a construction project. There are drawings, a plan check, a foundation, a structural connection to the existing building, and a sequence of inspections that has to happen in the right order. Getting that sequence wrong is what turns a six-month job into a twelve-month one.

We manage the whole path — from the first sketch through to the final sign-off — and we keep it moving. One of our clients had us build a new ADU, replace a garage, and add a pantry and laundry room on the same property. Running those as one coordinated programme rather than three separate jobs is what kept it smooth.

What we build

  • Accessory dwelling units — detached, attached, and garage conversions
  • Room additions: bedrooms, family rooms, offices and primary suites
  • Second storeys and roof-line changes where the structure supports it
  • Garage rebuilds and replacements
  • Pantries, laundry rooms, mudrooms and other small-footprint additions
  • Foundations, framing, roofing, and the tie-in to the existing structure
  • All services extended to the new space — electrical, plumbing, HVAC

About ADUs

California has spent several years steadily making accessory dwelling units easier to permit, and local agencies have their own overlays on top of the state rules. What is allowed on your lot depends on the jurisdiction, the zoning, setbacks, and what is already built. We check that for your specific address before you spend money on drawings — it is a far cheaper conversation to have early.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

It depends on your jurisdiction, zoning, lot size, setbacks and what is already built. State law has made ADUs considerably easier to permit in recent years, but local rules still apply. We check the position for your specific address before you commit to drawings.
Yes. We coordinate the design, submit for plan check, respond to corrections and manage the inspection sequence through to sign-off.
Usually yes. Most of the work happens outside the existing envelope until the tie-in. We will tell you at the start which weeks will be disruptive.
Yes, and it is often the most economical route to an ADU because the slab and much of the structure already exist.
The build itself is only part of it — plan check and inspections drive a lot of the calendar. We give you a realistic programme at estimate stage and flag which parts are outside our control.
That is the aim. Matching roof pitch, eave detail, cladding and window proportion is what separates an addition from an obvious bolt-on.

Jeff and his crew are amazing! He knows all the right people to get the job done no matter what I asked for. They are all very professional, trustworthy and considerate while working in my home. He was able to make several changes along the way and was patient when I was indecisive. High quality service and materials.

Jeff was a pleasure to work with! I'm an interior designer and he beautifully executed my design of a full remodel in Oak View including a new kitchen with revised layout, 3 updated bathrooms, as well as new floors throughout (which also involved leveling the first floor). He was super communicative and easy to work with from start to finish and the property looks fantastic now! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to remodel or build a new home.

Jeff Thatcher (Thatcher Construction) is Top Notch! He managed our project to build a new ADU, replace a garage, and add a new pantry and laundry room. We couldn't be more pleased with the final outcome! He has a sharp attention to detail, and a keen eye for design (his recommendations were invaluable and really enhanced the design). He was very organized in his planning, creative in resolving issues, and kept the construction moving smoothly.
