I’m so happy for you Hektor & Natalie. I’ll gladly pay you for your services for the simple fact you started off helping people to keep them from being taken advantage of. Much appreciated Nay 🥂
Thank you for sharing your experience in such a honest, straight forward way. Your guide will help me get a better picture of what to expect with an out of state fixer-upper I purchased. Much success to you!
Man your awesome me and my other half are look to buy a home and building a ADU. I can't believe I ran into your videos. What you have done to help people is amazing. Your an awesome human. I just want to sat thank you for doing what you do.
I love this guy...I Want To speak to you directly. I have a HUGE venture that you've already helped with. I just want to get you paid and credit for your brilliance. We think very alike. I'll be reaching you soon. God bless.
Hi Hector, I've been following your videos for ADU. I did a consultation with one of the plumpers on your website, he wanted to charge 20k just for the plumbing. The framer wanted to charge 12k. The total square foot is 382. Just seem more than what you show in total cost for ADU. I like how easy it was to use the website.
Thank you very much for your content! I’m planning to build an ADU on top of our existing garage and was wondering if your guide would also be applicable towards my project. Thank you.
Daniel hello unfortunately the guide is only for attached and detached ADUs. A two level ADU requires structural engineering and I don't have that info yet 😆
Great job with adu information and start guide. does garage to adu conversion change the value and marketability of a home since the house will lose the garage ?
Yes the interest rates are climbing up. The federal reserve will gradually raise the interest rates this year. If you need a lender to help you refinance, visit my site heekk.com we have a lender that can help you out. Another excellent choice will be any Credit Union. Good luck!
Hello i don't know much about ADU's in NV. I suggest you look up Boxabl, their ADU's are made in Las Vegas. In CA homeowners are able to build an ADU on top of the current garage. Good luck and thank you for the comment. ruclips.net/video/D8UVl4atcNo/видео.html
Hello hektor, do I need to find out first if the zoning permits ADU before making the plans? If so where can i go? Also do I need a separate electricity meter and separate water meter for an attach ADU? Thank you for all the info.
Hi! I live in Torrance and the ADU permit is close to being approved. I’m using your guide which I’m greatful for. I’m going to buy windows and wanted to ask a question. Do you know how to determine window sizes from the plans so I order the correct size windows? Here is a list of the windows I need from my plans: 6 windows 3040DH 1 window 3030LS 1 bathroom window 2020DH 2 windows 4040DH Lastly any recommendations on where to purchase windows for a good price? Thanks in advance!
Hi Hektor! Is the Master guide download free? I'm clicking but it's sending me to the app and the app shows $20 price. Just double checking thx so much!
Hey Hektor, i appreciate the content. Any suggestions of other designer. In the process in building a junior adu. I have reached out to Natalie and unfortunately no response Appreciate the info. Gracias, Adrian
You stopped giving access over $9/month? Pretty pathetic way to lure people in hopes of marketing your services through the website. You might as well delete you video since it does not benefit anyone.
Over 600 people are using the guide for free and I have to pay a monthly fee of $120 out of pocket to help people build their ADU. That's $1,440 a year that I'm investing in keeping the site up and running. I did not know the cost will go up with the volume of users. At one point I decided not to lose money any more. If losing money is pathetic than I guess you are right.
I never built an adu….I built a 1200 square feet addition to a house that I owned….I did it as an owner builder ( why I decided to do a 1200 addition? on top of that as an owner builder? I don’t know)my only experience at the time was watching “this old house” and norm Abraham….I did the addition many…many moons ago….although somethings are still the same…like the first step in building anything is not framing or passing framing….the FIRST thing is paying a visit to the planning department in your city and finding out what is allowed and what is not allowed….then you have your blue prints drawn by a knowledgeable person( it does not have to be an architect it could be a draftsman) once you get your blue prints approved then you get a framer who knows how to frame inside an existing garage ( like the people that work with you hektor) before you do anything though you have a meeting with the most important person on this project and that is you….once you do all the math you decide if this is something you want to do….I know all that I’ve have said here is obvious to you hektor but not to most…I watched at least 10 of your videos and did subscribe to your channel I think your videos are better than good they are awesome….I am getting turned on to building again…
Erl, I would like to thank you for your awesome comment. You hit the nail on the head in regards to the process for an addition. When I built my ADU, I had no idea what a footing was or how to read plans, but after a few conversations with the city inspector, my mind was blown by how easy it was to build an ADU. I was upset that there was no information on RUclips, the best search engine of our time for building an ADU, so I decided to share what I learned with anyone willing to click on my videos with bad audio. I will keep making content because comments like yours push me to make better videos. Once again, thank you!!

I always enjoy your videos. I am looking forward to use your Master guide to built my ADU
You're a great guy, thanks for the information you share to homeowners in building their adu.
Thankful to see this info lined up and organized.
Man your awesome me and my other half are look to buy a home and building a ADU. I can't believe I ran into your videos. What you have done to help people is amazing. Your an awesome human. I just want to sat thank you for doing what you do.
Very good Hector . Thank you for sharing the information of ADU Builder

Thank you 👍👋
How about the attic roof ventilation process?
You’re the man
Hektor is literally out here doing God’s work🦾🙌🏾🔥 Thank you!!

cool video
Thank you for the info, jut signed up.
One more question. Do you know of any banks in CA that are doing loans specifically for building ADUs without refinancing our primary mortgage?
Great job with adu information and start guide.
does garage to adu conversion change the value and marketability of a home since the house will lose the garage ?
As a Realtor the ADU will only bring additional value to the property. In my experience in dense areas buyers prefer an ADU over a garage.
@@HektorCastilloery true, where I live there is definitely a housing shortage, especially nice places to live. Adus are perfect for renters.
How much monthly rent are you able to get for your ADU? Thanks Susan
Thank you for creating this master guide. It has so many great information. How long did it take to get your plans approved by the city?
Back when I got my plans approved it was about one month. In todays market it takes roughly four months
Is it true interest rate is really high right now? What banks do you recommend getting a personal loan from?
Yes the interest rates are climbing up. The federal reserve will gradually raise the interest rates this year. If you need a lender to help you refinance, visit my site heekk.com we have a lender that can help you out. Another excellent choice will be any Credit Union. Good luck!
great work!
Do you know anything about ADU’s in Henderson NV? Also do you know if ADU’s can be built on top of a garage rather than inside?

Tried contacting Natalie once through website and through Instagram to find out her design fees. No joy. Any suggestions?
