A Folsom ADU drawn for granite,
your house, and the family moving in.

Custom is won in the drawings, so we put real hours there. It opens with a site walk and a measure-up — I've walked enough Folsom backyards to know a survey never tells the whole story, especially where decomposed granite hides under two inches of topsoil. Then concept sketches. You react, we revise. Most clients run two or three rounds before a floor plan feels right; a few push past five. Once the layout locks we move to construction documents: structural, Title-24, mechanical, plumbing, and the SMUD load calc. The honest part — this front end runs six to ten weeks before a single permit lands at the City of Folsom counter. Longer than any stock plan. That's the trade for a unit nobody else owns.

A lot of our Folsom custom work is families solving one exact problem — aging parents who want their own front door, or an adult kid staring at local rents who isn't moving out. That reshapes the plan. We draw zero-step entries, 36-inch doorways, curbless showers with grab-bar blocking already in the walls, and a second primary suite so two generations each keep privacy. The detached state ceiling is 1,200 sq ft, and custom clients tend to push right up against it — at that size you fit two real bedrooms, a full kitchen, a proper living room. Then there's finish level. Quartz, real oak floors, a tiled shower instead of a fiberglass insert. Custom is where the premium package actually fits, designed in from day one rather than bolted on.
