EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I rate a company on if I'll do business with them again. For Adore Homes, the answer is yes! It was 5-star service. Weekly emails, flexibility with upgrades, help with concrete and landscaping research/bids. Short summary: 2 bed/2 bath, 704 sq ft, $272,000. Contract signed Dec 2023. Survey July 2024, Oct 2024 ADU arrives. (Six months permit, three months of land prep). I met with 5 stick build companies and 3 pre-fab ADU. The stick builds seemed more expensive. One gave me an idea to completely demolish my house, another tried to push me to a J-ADU. One pre-fab only offered a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I helped design a 2 bed/2 bath for another ADU company and they wanted to charge me $20,000 for the design and another $100,000 for delivery even though it was my design! I had a plot of land in the front yard that I was tired of taking care of and it was just sitting there. I checked the city permit site and saw that Adore Homes was a preferred vendor. I went to their website and saw that there were over 60 models in various layouts and price ranges. https://adore-homes.com/our-homes/ I signed the contract around December 2023 as they had a year-end discount if you sign before the end of the year. Pros: They send you a weekly status report. A Slack channel was setup but I never joined. You can also "design" some elements of the ADU. Appliances are included for free: stove, microwave, dishwasher, fridge (in black, stainless is an upgrade cost). Tip: I wanted to know every single cost before I signed the contract. I choose the "upgrades" and was able to "design" or make some changes before I signed the contract. The upgrades I choose: stainless microwave, stove, fridge. The fridge was surprisingly huge with double doors and under pullout freezer (nice surprise)! An undermount sink (ended up being a farmhouse style undermount sink). Quartz kitchen and bathroom counters upgrade. I kept the floor as free vinyl (it actually looks good like real wood!), upgraded would have been vinyl plank or hardwood but for the size and price, I didn't think it was worth it. Design/modifications: I wanted the kitchen cabinets to touch the ceiling because I didn't want dust to pile up. I asked for bathroom sinks to be undermount. Instead of windows in each bedroom, I asked for sliding doors. I also asked for the unit "master" to be longer (3 feet longer) and to include two sliding glass mirror closet doors. And a mirror sliding door in the other bedroom. The front entry to be French doors vs a single entry door. All the windows, balcony doors, and French door had blinds included (another nice "free" surprise). I added a deck. I requested that each side of the house have a water faucet and electricity outlet. I asked for the free fiberglass shower but got a "free" upgrade that looks like quartz but it's vinyl? Separate: I had them concrete all around the ADU property. Here is the high-level timeline: Dec 2023 Signed contract July 2, 2024 Land survey July 8 - July 31, 2024 Frame structure Aug 2, 2024 - Wood removed from structure **Oct 21, 2024 - ADU arrives on truck from LA! *I live near a school and alot of parents said "this morning at 8am, there was no house...and now at 10am, there's a new house!" It was pretty amazing. Oct 27, 2024 - Trenching for water and electricity. This started earlier but continued once the ADU arrived. Oct 29, 2024 - Started on deck Dec 2, 2024 - Gutters installed Dec 6, 2024 - Deck arrives Jan 8, 2025 - Concrete clearing. Note: I asked for concrete landscaping after ADU arrived. They asked 3 contractors and gave me the best quote. Jan 18, 2025 - Rebar prep Jan 22, 2025 - Concrete pour March 10, 2025 - Official address put on! When I buy another property, I will definitely contact Adore Homes again. They responded to emails within 1 day and all of my requests were fulfilled. If there was anything I wasn't happy with, I would email or text Adore and they would address it within an acceptable timeframe. Five star, white glove service!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adore Homes built a 880 SQft ADU for me in Saratoga. It took a long time to complete and the permit took the longest. At the end I am happy with it. They have a good team working on it. They also have beautiful show room.

Exceptional Experience Building Our ADU with ADORE Homes! We recently completed our 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU with ADORE Homes, and the entire project—from design to completion in August 2025—was truly outstanding. From day one, the ADORE team was professional, transparent, and highly organized, but I have to give special recognition to Kevin Dejeu, our project manager, who was simply phenomenal throughout the entire process. Kevin guided us step-by-step, making what could have been a stressful home-building experience feel smooth and efficient. He was always available to answer questions, kept us updated on progress, and handled every detail with care and precision. Whether it was coordinating permits, scheduling inspections, or managing the installation team, Kevin ensured everything stayed on track and on budget. His communication and problem-solving skills really set him apart—he genuinely cared about the final result as much as we did. The quality of the ADU itself exceeded our expectations. The finishes are beautiful, the layout feels spacious and thoughtfully designed, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. The off-site build process was incredibly efficient, and once the unit was delivered, the on-site setup and installation were surprisingly quick. Within just a few weeks, we went from an empty backyard to a fully finished, move-in-ready ADU. We’ve already started renting it out, and everyone who visits is impressed with how solid and well-built it feels. The insulation, lighting, and modern touches make it feel like a natural extension of our home rather than a separate unit. If you’re considering building an ADU, I can’t recommend ADORE Homes enough. Their team knows what they’re doing, and having someone like Kevin Dejeu leading the project makes all the difference. It’s rare to find a company that delivers exactly what they promise—and then some. We’re thrilled with our new ADU and would absolutely choose ADORE Homes again in the future!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adore Homes Review It’s a process. We wanted to build a larger ADU in the backyard of our Campbell home for our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. One of our concerns was to have at least a 1,100 sq foot unit so that its size would allow room for many years. Having a good floorplan and space efficient storage inside the unit helped it feel more long-term. We had explored two other ADU companies before a friend suggested Adore Homes and we visited their showroom. Adore Homes had the largest number of floorplans and the most adaptability of either of the two previous ADU vendors we had considered. We met Tom at the showroom and he helped us through the decisions of which model would give us what we wanted and fit on our property. He came to our property and measured and marked off where the unit could fit. He then contacted the City of Campbell with a possible concern and let us know that the size unit we wanted would fit. We chose the 1,173 sq foot, 3 BR, 2 bath model and signed on the dotted line. Then we were assigned a project manager, and admin. That part did not go so well as both were new to the company and not up and running. We worked on and submitted our initial factory modification choices to the factory for pricing. This first project manager submitted our ADU plans to the city for the building permit. Then the holidays came along and not much happened—or seemingly from our point of view. In February this first project manager quit and we were assigned a new project manager, Kevin, who has been with Adore Homes for a while. We were also assigned a new admin, also a well-seasoned employee. Then things greatly improved. Both Kevin and Arlene communicated frequently and effectively with us. We received weekly updates through online platform and by email. We were so happy. We got our building permits in mid-March. Beginning of April, they assigned us a contractor and they began building the foundation. On June 10, the factory-made ADU was shipped in two parts and craned over our house into the backyard and plopped down on the new foundation. It was a momentous day, lots of fun and a neighborhood spectacle. Kevin was so honest in providing us a good finished product. Kevin’s higher ups were generous at cost decisions when overcoming obstacles added unexpected cost. Overall, our experience with Adore has been very positive. Kevin was an excellent project manager and was able to stay on top of things and answer any inquiries about what was happening. Like any project, there were some hiccups along the way, but Kevin and Adore Homes continued to work hard to solve these problems. We are so thankful for the ADU and for Kevin and the Adore Homes team’s persistence.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience with Adore Homes from start to finish. During the sales process, Ken was outstanding knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping us make the best decision for our property. He guided us through every option and made the entire process feel smooth and transparent. As we moved into the building phase, we did run into some delays during the permitting process with the City of Santa Clara, which were outside of anyone’s control. However, Adore Homes stepped up right away. Anh the project manager stayed on top of the situation, worked closely with the city, and kept us informed every step of the way. Once the permits were cleared, Adore moved quickly to get the project back on track, and their Anh ensured that everything stayed on schedule from that point forward. The entire team was professional, organized, and committed to delivering a high-quality product. Our ADU turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. Adore truly made a complex process feel easy. Highly recommendPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been a truly positive experience working with Tom and the entire team at Adore. I still remember our first visit to the Adore Homes showroom in Sunnyvale. By the time we left, we knew we wanted to move forward with them. Tom’s outstanding pre-sales support played a big role in that decision—he took the time to walk us through the process, explain local regulations, and gave us thorough walkthru of the models. The permitting process with the City of Fremont and PG&E took a bit longer than expected, but the Adore team remained diligent and persistent, ultimately ensuring everything was approved and on track. We came across a few minor hiccups during the design selection phase—particularly with kitchen countertops, cabinets, and other interior finishes—but the team was collaborative, responsive, and committed to helping us reach the right decisions. Delivery day went smoothly, with everything well coordinated alongside city requirements. Post-sales support has also been strong. While a few small details were needed to be addressed, the Adore team promptly followed up to address them. Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience working with Adore and highly recommend their services to anyone considering an ADU project.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adore Homes installed an ADU and did an execeptional job. Highly recommend. In addition, they helped us get separate PGE meter which took almost a year after completing ADU installation due to PGE schedules. Appreciate Adore Homes being there for us all along.

EXCELLENTVerified We had an amazing experience with ADORE Homes. Ken was very helpful and addressed our questions/concerns very quickly and in great detail.

I had a plot of land in the front yard that I was tired of taking care of and it was just sitting there. Cottage was good because they offered an online consult using Google Maps for free and mapped out six feet from the house edge and where an ADU would fit. Cottage said only a 2 bed, 1 bath would fit. But I really wanted a 2 bedroom, 2 bath because I didn't want to share a bathroom. Cottage is stick build. I checked the city permit site and saw that Adore Homes was a preferred vendor. I went to their website and saw that there were over 60 models in various layouts and price ranges. https://adore-homes.com/our-homes/ I sorted by lowest to highest and 2 bed/2 bath. I found a layout that I liked and contacted them. There's a $500 consult fee which I wasn't crazy about because I had some general questions but I guess I can understand as there will be alot of inquiries that lead to nowhere.

I was contacted on a weekly basis regarding timelines, approvals and any set backs that occurred. Communication was key to me and all team members abided. Being able to view the showroom was key and select a model and make any modifications. I really admired the contractors as they worked seamlessly through the weather of heavy rain and communicated honestly regarding permitting and timeline delays. It was exciting to see the delivery of my Casita and I really enjoy being in my own place on my main property as it's a great addition. Thank you TeamPosted onVerified I moved into my ADU about a year and a half ago. After living in an over 100 year old Victorian in San Francisco for over 40 years it was and still is an adjustment. But I had to move as the landlord needed to sell the house I spent most my life in. Finding a house in the midst of a pandemic just wasn't happening. The solution was to put an ADU onto my parent's property and interviewed no less than seven different ADU companies. When I landed on Adore-Homes I knew I had found the right company for me and the job. Ken and Tom are really great. They are honest, (huge in my book) thoughtful, and helped me decide what I needed and wanted. I was able with their help, to modify my pre-fabricated home to some specifications to have it be a better fit for the space it was going into, and were mindful of the amount of money that I had. The resulting house is now my home, thanks to Adore-Homes. I learned so much about space saving I could write a book. But all in all I have to say, that at the end of the day-it was a very positive experience working with these great guys. Especially from someone who'd never done anything like this before. I highly recommend them to help anyone who is looking for an ADU. They helped me and can help you too!Posted onVerified Being one of the first customers of Adore, my project started back in 2020 when COVID hit and everything slowed way down. The whole project lasted 3 years, including soil survey, multiple city permits and PGE permits. Even it took so long, my experience with the Adore team is exceptional. Choosing the right ADU builder to work with for an expensive project is not an easy task. After interviewing five different companies in the Bay Area, considering quality, layout, affordability and ease of process, I decided to go with Adore. Picking an ADU option that fits my needs was fully under my control. The designs, measurements and floorplans are all in the website and they also offer a bunch of options for my style. More importantly, the added values of the Adore team are the customer service and overall experience. I mainly worked with Tom/Ken/Kevin and they are great partners throughout the whole process. Everything started from the first site visit, then engineers and contractors came over multiple times and measure everything and showed me a detail drawing of how it would look like in my backyard. There were many hiccups during the build and permitting process (none of those are Adore's fault) but Ken and Kevin worked very hard to get through each and every one of them. They keep me in the loop on every detail that I need to know. Their response time is great in text and emails and I cannot remember one single time they didn't get back to me within a few hours on the rare occasions when I hit their voice mail. Now that everything is done, the unit is truly beautiful and the build is high quality. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to add a beautiful ADU in their backyard.Posted onVerified We just finished our ADU project with Adore Homes, and we're super happy with how it turned out. The whole team was great to work with--Tom and Ken, the cofounders, and our project manager Kevin were always on top of things. Their GC was really responsive too. The permit process took a while (about a year) because the city of Fremont was slow and kept asking for more stuff. But Adore Homes handled it all really well and kept us in the loop the entire time. Once the permits were sorted out, Adore Homes really picked up the pace. They delivered the ADU in just three months and then spent another three months adding upgrades and making changes on site. We highly recommend Adore Homes. They're professional, dedicated, and really good at what they do.Posted onVerified Working with Adore Homes on our ADU project was an absolute pleasure! They (especially Tom) were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and were exceptional in getting us what we were looking for in our dream ADU. Thank you for making our experience seamless and stress-free!Posted onVerified Adore was great. Once we finally got through the permitting process in our city (which was out of Adore's control), the process went very quickly. The ADU turned out perfectly. The quality exceeded our expectations. The contractor and workers were excellent, and I would definitely use them again. If you're looking to build an ADU, it's a no-brainer - use Adore.Posted onVerified With any major home improvement/addition, for my family and many folks I know, getting started is the hardest part. The folks at Adore Homes took away all the stress of getting going. From the first visit to their location in Sunnyvale, the team willing to make the trip to visit our home in the East Bay, and taking us step-by-step through the process of how we could get to the exciting stage of moving into our ADU - the folks at ADORE were phenomenal. Ultimately, my family was not able to move on to the stage of construction at this time, but we plan to in the near future. We look forward to reconnecting with the ADORE team and hope to reunite soon!Posted onVerified Adore homes was fantastic, and I don't say that lightly. What I really appreciated about them (especially Ken) is how response they were to calls/texts, had great follow-up, and showed LOTS of integrity at every turn. There were a few hiccups but they tried to make it right every time ( and did). We were going to do a drop-in ADU but it didn't work out to do that so we did a stick-build unit. The construction process did go over the timeline ( not Adore's fault) but they stuck through with us to the end. And I did speak to 5-6 ADU companies before choosing Adore. I found that Adore was more upfront with their pricing ( not switch and bait like other companies where they lure you in with a low price and then charge you tens of thousands for upgrades) and I liked that you could visit their model homes to actually see what you would be getting. I would definitely use Adore again!
