"We had a basement bathroom that needed an ejector pump and a 9-foot ceiling we wanted to keep open without soffits. The team walked through three layouts with us before we signed, picked the one that fit our mechanical room, and the final result looks like the rest of the house."Mike T. · February 2026
"Did our basement as an ADU in Saratoga Springs. They handled the IADU paperwork with the planning department and the building permit ran in parallel. Tenants moved in two weeks after the Certificate of Occupancy."Jennifer K. · January 2026
