Contact Ellery ADU Studio Pasadena - Free ADU Estimate in Pasadena
Call (626) 427-9813 to schedule your free ADU estimate in Pasadena. When you reach us, a live coordinator will connect you with our local team - no hard sell, no deposit to book the assessment, and we can usually get to your property within a few business days. We’ll walk your site, take measurements, and talk through what you actually want the space to do.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: We answer and listen. A live coordinator picks up during business hours, notes your address in Pasadena or nearby, and asks what you’re trying to solve - rental income, family housing, a home office. No script, no pressure to book on the spot.
Step 2: We schedule a site assessment. We pick a time that works for you, confirm it by text, and send a reminder the morning of. The assessor who arrives is the same person who’ll prepare your estimate, so nothing gets lost between visits.
Step 3: You get a written, line-item estimate. Within two business days of the visit, you’ll receive a flat-price proposal with every phase broken out: design, permit set, construction, and finish. This is Clause 1 of the Haven Standard - the price we name is the price you pay.
Step 4: We build to the drawings. Once you approve, we pull permits, assign a verified crew, and execute the documented scope. Photos and progress readings go to your account page. Final payment is due only after walkthrough and sign-off.
Why Pasadena Homeowners Call Us First
- We’re local to this market. Our team lives and works in the Pasadena area, so we know which ADU designs pass plan check fastest at Pasadena Building & Safety and where the parking relief rules actually apply. That local knowledge saves months.
- Every pro on your job is required to hold the license and insurance California requires. We verify it before they ever step on your property, and the license number goes in your project file. You can check it yourself.
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Your written estimate includes permit fees, utility connections, and finish materials - the categories other builders bury in “allowances” that balloon later. Haven Standard Clause 5: no surprises.
- We document everything. Photos of existing conditions, readings from the site, daily progress shots, and a final punch list with your signature. If there’s ever a question, there’s evidence.
Our Service Area Around Pasadena
We design and build ADUs throughout Pasadena and these neighboring communities: Alhambra (15 minutes), Glendale (20 minutes), Arcadia (15 minutes), Temple City (20 minutes), Rosemead (20 minutes), Monterey Park (20 minutes), El Monte (25 minutes), East Los Angeles (25 minutes), Los Feliz (25 minutes), Burbank (25 minutes), and North Hollywood (30 minutes). If you’re outside these cities but close by, call anyway - we’ve taken projects in unincorporated pockets and hillside zones others won’t touch.
Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. The site assessment and written estimate cost nothing and obligate you to nothing. We believe you should see the actual price before deciding, which is why Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written, flat-price quote before any work begins. Call (626) 427-9813 to schedule yours.
We can usually schedule a site assessment within three to five business days, depending on current project load. We don’t overbook, because the person who assesses your property also prepares your estimate. Call (626) 427-9813 and we’ll give you the next available window.
No. Our standard operating hours are 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, seven days a week, and assessments during those hours are priced the same. We don’t offer after-hours or holiday assessments, because the person doing the work deserves a predictable schedule - and you deserve them alert.
Your property address, a rough idea of your budget range, and what you want the ADU to do - rent for income, house family, or something else. If you have a survey, existing plans, or correspondence with the city, have those handy, but they’re not required to book. The assessor will document everything on site.
We accept check, ACH transfer, and major credit cards. Payment is structured in milestones tied to permit approval, construction start, and final walkthrough - never a large upfront deposit. The exact schedule is spelled out in your written estimate before you sign. Call (626) 427-9813 to discuss what works for your situation.
