Free Second Opinion on Any Written ADU Estimate
Already have a written estimate from another design-build firm, architect, or contractor? We’ll review it line by line and tell you where the scope looks thin, where the pricing feels off, and what questions you should ask before you sign. This applies to garage conversion ADUs, new detached units, Junior ADUs, interior conversions, and site prep quotes anywhere in Van Nuys or the surrounding San Fernando Valley.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (424) 523-8492.
365-Day Done Right Promise - Written Guarantee on Every Project
Not a discount, but it saves you more than one. Under Haven Standard Clause 3, if your finished ADU isn’t built to the permitted drawings, we make it right - and that promise is in your contract before the first shovel hits dirt. This covers our full design-build scope: ADU Design & Permitting, Garage Conversion ADU, New Detached ADU, Junior ADU & Interior Conversion, and ADU Site Prep & Utilities.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (424) 523-8492.
Written Price Before Any Work Starts - Haven Standard Clause 1
Every project, every time. We don’t do “call for a quote” because we think that’s how homeowners get surprised. You’ll receive a written, line-item price covering design, permitting, construction, and final inspection before you sign anything. This applies whether we’re drawing custom plans for a Lake Balboa backyard cottage or coordinating a prefab Abodu unit for a property near Sepulveda Basin.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (424) 523-8492.
Documented Photo Record Included on Every Visit
Most builders hand you a checklist or a verbal summary. We hand you timestamped photos of what we found and what we did - foundation conditions, existing slab thickness, utility tie-in points, framing progress, final inspection readiness. You see the 4-inch slab in your garage conversion, the setback measurement from your property line, the electrical panel capacity. Evidence, not feelings.

One-Contract Design-Build - No Designer-Builder Finger-Pointing
Your ADU Design & Permitting, construction, and site prep live under one contract at one written price. If the designer says one thing and the builder says another, that’s our problem to solve, not yours. We’ve handled this for 900+ ADUs since 2015, including garage conversions in North Hills and new detached units near Van Nuys High School. Same contract, same phone number, same accountability.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (424) 523-8492.
Live Person Answers Calls 24/7 - No Voicemail Queue
ADU questions don’t keep business hours. Whether you’re reviewing plans at 10 PM or your contractor just ghosted you on a Saturday morning, a real person picks up. They can schedule your free estimate, confirm your written quote is in progress, or connect you directly with our permitting team. No callback promise that evaporates into radio silence.

How to Redeem
Step 1: Call (424) 523-8492 and mention which offer caught your attention. A live person will answer, confirm your project type, and start your written estimate.
Step 2: Book your site visit. We’ll walk your property in Van Nuys, measure existing conditions, and flag any local code considerations - like LADBS hillside grading requirements near the Santa Monica Mountains foothills or utility tie-in specifics for older Valley neighborhoods.
Step 3: Review your written, line-item quote. Sign when you’re ready. Your offer terms are locked into your contract under the applicable Haven Standard clause. No surprises, no change orders unless you change the scope.
Before
AfterWhat These Offers Actually Cover
We’re not running a summer blowout on five-figure construction projects. That would be absurd. What we are doing is making our standard operating procedure - the stuff that made us worth calling in the first place - explicit enough that you can hold us to it.
Our garage conversion ADUs in Van Nuys typically run $85,000-$165,000 all-in, drawings through final inspection, depending on whether the existing slab and roof structure can be adapted or need significant modification. New detached ADUs usually start around $180,000 and scale up based on square footage, foundation type, and utility run length. Junior ADUs and interior conversions tend to land in the $45,000-$95,000 range, though tight sites with limited access - common in the denser blocks south of Victory Boulevard - can push that higher.
Every one of those ranges comes with a written price before work starts, per Haven Standard Clause 1. Every one includes the documented photo record. Every one carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. And if you already have someone else’s estimate in hand, we’ll give you that second opinion free.
We’ve specified and coordinated prefab and modular systems from Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie for Van Nuys homeowners who want faster timelines or specific aesthetic finishes. Same single contract. Same written price guarantee. Same live person on the phone if something needs adjusting mid-project.
Common Questions About Our Offers
Can I combine multiple offers?
These aren’t coupons to stack - they’re how we work. The written price, photo record, Done Right Promise, and live-answer phone line all apply to every project automatically. The Free Second Opinion is the only offer that requires a specific condition (an existing written estimate from another firm), and yes, you can request that alongside any project type we handle.
Call (424) 523-8492 to confirm what applies to your situation - estimates are always free.
Do these offers apply to prefab and modular ADUs?
Yes. When we specify a Cover unit, coordinate a Dvele install, or manage a Plant Prefab delivery for your Van Nuys property, the same Haven Standard clauses govern the project. Written price before work starts. Documented photo record on every visit. Done Right Promise in writing. The prefab brand handles manufacturing; we handle siting, foundation, utility tie-in, and final inspection under our single contract.
Call (424) 523-8492 to discuss which system fits your lot and budget.
What if I’m not ready to build yet?
Most Van Nuys homeowners who call us are 6-18 months out from breaking ground. That’s normal. ADU permitting through LADBS takes time, and we use that runway to get your drawings right, your financing lined up, and your utility coordination sorted. Locking in your written price now protects you from material cost shifts later - and yes, that price holds under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Call (424) 523-8492 to start the conversation without pressure - we’re not going anywhere.
Does the 365-Day Done Right Promise cover permit delays?
No, and we’d be lying if we said it did. City timeline estimates are outside our control. What the promise does cover is build quality: if the finished ADU doesn’t match the permitted drawings, we fix it. If the electrical panel we specified doesn’t match what got installed, we correct it. If the setback variance we calculated doesn’t match field conditions, we resolve it. Construction accountability, not municipal scheduling.
Call (424) 523-8492 for the exact warranty language before you sign.
Why We Don’t Run Fake Urgency
You’ll never see “only 3 permit slots left this month” on this page. Van Nuys doesn’t work that way. LADBS doesn’t hand out scarcity-based permits, and we don’t invent pressure to make you decide faster. An ADU is a major investment. You should take the time you need to compare estimates, check our license, and drive past a few of our completed projects in the Valley.
When you’re ready, we’ll still be here with the same written price guarantee, the same documented process, and the same live person answering (424) 523-8492.
