Current Offers
Free Second Opinion on Any Written ADU Estimate
Already have a quote from another Pasadena ADU builder or design firm? We’ll review the full scope, line by line, and tell you where the numbers land relative to what we’ve seen on 900+ projects since 2015. No obligation to hire us, no pressure to switch. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (626) 427-9813.
Written Price Lock - No Deposit Required to Hold Your 2026 Slot
Under Haven Standard Clause 1, we always quote a written price before work starts. This offer extends that promise: lock your 2026 project slot with a signed scope and a written price, with no deposit due until permits are actually submitted. Pasadena’s ADU permit queue moves slowly; your price shouldn’t drift while you wait. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (626) 427-9813.
365-Day Done Right Promise - Extended Documentation Package
Every Ellery project already includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the finished ADU doesn’t match the permitted drawings, we make it right. With this offer, you’ll also receive a bound as-built photo album and digital permit set archive at project closeout, not just the standard cloud link. Good for new detached ADUs, garage conversions, and JADUs in Pasadena, Altadena, and the San Gabriel Valley foothills. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (626) 427-9813.
Prefab & Modular Coordination Fee Waiver
Specifying a factory-built unit from Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, or James Hardie normally includes a coordination fee for site integration and utility tie-in planning. We’ll waive that fee when you commit to our single-contract design-build model covering drawings, permitting, site prep, and final inspection. Pasadena’s narrow lots and hillside foundations make this coordination critical; we’ll handle it without the extra line item. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (626) 427-9813.
Senior & Military Courtesy - Priority Scheduling
For Pasadena homeowners 65+ or active-duty military and veterans, we maintain a dedicated scheduling block that moves your project ahead of our standard queue once permits are ready. No discount off the written price, because Haven Clause 1 applies equally to everyone. But you’ll get our first available crew slot and direct cell access to your project lead. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (626) 427-9813.
Garage Conversion Feasibility Study - Photo Record Included
Before you commit to converting a Pasadena garage, we’ll walk the structure, assess the slab depth, check ceiling height against R-3 occupancy code, and flag any setback or fire-separation issues. You’ll receive a documented photo record of what we found, not a summary of how it felt, plus a written go/no-go recommendation with rough square footage and a ballpark range you can plan around. If you proceed, the study fee credits toward your full permit set. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (626) 427-9813.
How to Redeem
Step 1: Call (626) 427-9813. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. Mention which offer you’re calling about.
Step 2: We’ll book your site visit or estimate review. For the Free Second Opinion, email your existing estimate ahead if you can; otherwise, bring it to the appointment.
Step 3: Present the offer name at your first paid service visit or at contract signing. We’ll note it in your file and apply it to your final written price. No codes to forget, no expiration anxiety beyond the December 31, 2026 date.
What These Offers Don’t Change
Every special above still operates under the full Haven Standard. That means a written price before any work starts, per Clause 1. A documented photo record on every visit. Background-checked, uniformed crews. And Nadia Ellery’s direct involvement in scope review before anything gets signed.
We don’t do urgency theater. No “only 3 slots left” countdowns. Pasadena’s ADU market has enough real pressure, from Pasadena Water and Power coordination timelines to LADBS-adjacent plan check backlogs. We won’t manufacture fake scarcity on top of that.
What we will do is answer the phone, show up on time, and put every promise in writing before you pay us anything. That’s not a special. That’s just how we work.
