Thank you, sir!
What does ADU short for?

Thank you for this informative video. We need more honest people like him in this world. We are living in an era where everyone is trying to drain your pockets and make a quick buck.
Congrats, your ADU looks great. Also, since you were directly involved, the pride and quality in your work shows!
I can't say thank you enough for sharing this information. We have had such a hard time finding a good contractor. We have lost money due to the contractor scams and unwillingness to show up to work as they agreed.
Very impressive! Amazing job on learning everything necessary to make it extremely cost effective! I initially wanted to purchase a single family home to do this but talked myself out of it thinking I couldn’t do it so I bought a condo instead. I want to purchase a second property to do this so I’m just watching your videos to learn for now. Thanks!!
Sonia thank you for the comment. Watch my previous video. I made a video with all the details you need to know when buying a house to convert the garage into an ADU. 👍
@@HektorCastillo I want to buy a house to build ADU too, can you send me your video to view
Great Video. The stove hood vent on the roof should be moved away from a outside wall. The small gap will be an area where leaves can build up causing water to stand and flow under the shingles. If it has to be this way for things such as structural constraints flash above the vent to direct the water from the wall to the opposite side of the vent.
My mom and I have been looking to convert and you vid and design idea definitely helped shape some stress we were concerned with!
Thank you for sharing. I will be checking out your website and you've inspired me to build this ADU myself. Greatly. Greatly. Appreciated
Hey, this is really helpful thank you! Glad it's not just look how glamorous this is...that you actually go into details that are very useful! 🙂 thanks!
This was super valuable and super helpful. Ty for posting as well as the companies you used for the services you utilized.
Good job! You must be proud of yourself for taking on such a project. Thank you for graciously sharing your knowledge. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Bravo mate you did a splendid job. Excellent video, love the detail. Cheers and thanks for sharing.
Your video is a breath of fresh air. I was being quoted 125k to 200k to turn an existing structure with plumbing and electrical in it which I felt was ridiculous. Thank you so much for this video, gives me hope to help house my aging mom in an affordable way
This is amazing and this isn’t the first time I’ve heard that it’s best to do it yourself and hire your own specialist ❤️
Man. I’m just starting and this is incredible information. Thank you.
Great job Hektor! thank you for your time and efforts.
Great job! Thanks for giving me the inspiration to do this for myself!!
Fantastic job! Can’t believe you did all of that by yourself 👍👍👍
Thanks for all the great info! Keep up the good work my friend!!!!
Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate all your help.
That’s how o fixed up both of my homes!! Boom 💥
Very good job hector. Right now I am building a 400sq ft garage conversion. An ADU. One bedroom, a small kitchen, a small bathroom and a living space with a small dining room for 42,500. I hire first class construction
Can I have your contractor info I want to build same sf as you in canoga park LA
Hello,Yes also looking for a contractor ! Can you pass the info of the one you use?
Hello Bibi I’m on the process to build a garage to an ADU any recommendation for a construction company, thanks God bless you
@@luistaca4882 Firstclass construction did my project.
@@tracylieu3211 www.jaycobuilderspm.com
Wow!, Thanks Hektor, my plans already pre-approved, I plan on using your contacts, feel free tp shoot you next youtube video at my place, can't wait to get started. 400 sq ft is already built, just adding plumbing, restroom, kitchen and laundry room.
Hektor, this is what i have been preaching for years. Good on you mate.
Fantastic work Hektor! Thank you for the guidance and being super informative!
Immensely important to be grateful for your accomplishments!
Thank you so much for this valuable information! You are an incredible person for sharing and helping others!
Appreicate your honesty.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I’m been planning to start a project like that, thanks again for tips and ideas 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 great information
You're are very generous giving out all this info. LA county is challenging to build.
Thank you for making this video. I’ve had some crazy estimates myself. Someone quoted me $350k-400k for an ADU and moving master bathroom on a raised home.
This guy is the realest! Thanks for this true info. I’ll subscribe 👌🏼
I believe it. We were charge 110 for remodel but after documenting everything I think we would had paid have..but we would do all the hiring and coordinating. The most important task is the architect that can draw up the plans.
Plans are not the most important. Engineers/architects/inspectors are not liable for the build process the contractor is. Owners that act as contractors need to pull liability insurance to protect the assets.
Honestly, it’s great that you built it and learned from the city inspector. But the general contractor isn’t only being paid for the work performed but also for their knowledge and skills in navigating the building process. So it’s not really shady for them to not give that knowledge away for free. That being said, some contractors do overcharge for their services.
You're amazing, Hector!
Glad to have found your channel.
Thank you glad you enjoy it!
Brilliant, Hektor! Thank you for all this wonderful information! Liked and subscribed. ¡Échale ganas! 🤜🤛
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for the summary in the beginning 👍
Woww Hektor that was very nice of you of sharing all this information . will reach out to you and the girl you mention for plans.Thanks
This video deserves my sub. Thanks Hektor
Thank you!
Congrats Hektor for your work - I also took it upon myself to build without general contractor, and it worked well but keep in mind it takes a lot longer. In my case about two years, which when you take into account lost rent does not save quite as much money
were you buiding a duplex?. in no way should an acu of 750 sqft take 2 years to build, absolutely no way.
I really appreciate you for sharing this information with all of us in the format. It’s so difficult to get information and the contractors are just ripoffs ( many of them)? I appreciate their knowledge but they play so many games with us? Your place is beautiful, really amazing. You did a great job o course! Here in the Bay Area it’s crazy expensive…Great Job Hector! …and thank you again and again!!!
Thank you for the kind comment. It's nice to know you appreciate the content. I agree there are some excellent contractors however for the most part, specifically ADU contractors are out to get as much as they can in profits from homeowners. Good luck in your project, I'll be making a few more videos soon. Thank you once again!!!
Thank you fir sharing your experience!!! Great video.
You are so organized with your prices. I build these all the time, starting price is still 80K. I do it for others and a lot for myself. Great video!
Where are you located?

Thank you for sharing this.... this is so helpful.
I’m building an ADU right now and I’m cutting corners like you , by being directly involved in the construction. It can be done , you might need one or two people to help with some of the heavy lifting , but it is do able. This video feels different once going through the process myself.
wow this is amazing thank you for the information!
HeK, you did it again Sr. Keep going, God bless
Great job. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing vital information that would have costed so much money, you sir, are making a huge positive impact on peoples lives! Thank you! Im the type of person that likes to not only save money, but it angers me to pay other people (who takes advantage) to do something i could just do on my own
Great video thank you for all the info you shared!
Thank you for such useful information, congrats you did a pretty good job in your ADU
Tony thank you. A new video is out, i created a construction guide that you can use to copy my strategy and build an ADU as an owner builder
Awesome! Thank you for your thoughtfulness 👍
This was awesome! You are the man! Do you have any content or information on how to build a 2nd story to a house?
Hektor, thank you for sharing your process. This was helpful. I'm interested in pursuing some vacate land and have been looking at different options that could be built there. This may be a way to drastically reduce cost and get the ball rolling sooner. Thank you.
and would the efficiency of a contractor allow for getting the unit rented and generating income, all trade offs of course and whether or not funds are available.
Great info, thank you for sharing! 🤙
Thank you Hector! Your video is encouraging me to build my own Adu as well. I have just submit my plan to the city a few weeks ago and waiting for approval.
How long did it take you to build your adu?
Great channel. I live in Texas and plan on building a detached building to house my music collection and live in while renting out my house. I want to keep costs under $50,000.
This is so smart Hektor, thank you, I just suscribed.
Such a great video! Thank you !
This hyped me up bro thank you !
Now thats what I call a description box!!
Everyone commenting on their $1,000 iPhone that cost Apple $500.
If you can only afford a lesser phone that’s ok. It’ll get the job done. But let’s not sit around and blame apple.
They have operating costs, marketing, they have to warranty, and make a profit like any business.
Thank you, but I don't think I can do that. I wish I was healthy enough to complete a grandma home. You are so talented. Blessings.
Another excellent video. I will definitely be reaching to you in a month or two once I get my lender pre approval letter. I will need an agent that’s knowledgeable about ADUs for my next purchase.
Anthony it will an honor to help you find a house 🏡. Getting your offer accepted will be the hard part. Building the ADU will be easy 😄👍
This information was great!
Really great video!
Thank you for the information!!!!
Great video man! Thank for sharing.
Congratulations on your ADU and your smarts.
Not some.All. They think everyone is an effing idiot. All. That is why I take matters in my own hand and exactly do you have done. Never throw all work for one person to do.
I'm in a very similar situation. I'm almost done pulling permits and I got a few quotes that I'm not happy with. Many of these contractors are overselling themselves, especially now, more than ever. In fact I'm going a step further and actually doing the labor myself.
Maybe you’re too cheap my friend👍🏽
@@Leo-mf6ct Maybe you're a contractor my friend
@@Leo-mf6ctnothing wrong with being cheap. It's his money, and his time.
@@711exilewhy would him being a contractor make him inherently bad?
Great job brother. Inspiring work. Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Bless you for sharing all your knowledge and experience. Thank you 🙏🏽
You are so welcome
@1:11 when I saw the giant Halloween statue behind you... I knew you were filming on my street. I'm 1/2 block down the street from there. Came looking for info for my garage and was like, "heyyyyy he's across the street from that crazy guy, Dennis."
Great job!!!
This video was very helpful
Thank you Sir!
Most welcome!
Great video.. thank you
Your honestly a real team player 👍👌, pray for blessings your way.
Joe thank you for the kind comment 👍
You are an inspiration to me!!
Good for you. Figuring it out on the way doesn’t work for everyone. I need someone to head the project.
Thank you. Your video is very informative….
Great video
Keep it up
Your a smart guy!! Great job Hektor
Thank you!
You are the best sir!!!!
wow you are such a DIY guy. Great job mate!
Hektor great job building your ADU! Great video and good information. I am a private lender, flipper and builder and I am going to build an ADU in Whittier at one of my rental properties. I am getting bids to build a ground-up 760 sq ft ADU from about $96k to $120k. You were very smart and your patience paid off by going owner-builder and subbing everything out. Great job! Jay Green
Did you flip property or just refi and rent?
@@laprepper I hope he’s reno and holding
Flippers! Taking affordable homes families could buy and making them completely unaffordable! Yay!!
Thanks a lot for the info!
Thanks hektor!!!!!!!
Wow! You are an angel for creating this channel! My husband and I are in the middle of doing our ADU and your advice is GOLDEN! Continue the great work!
I respect this 🤝🏽
I really like your videos on how to make extra income, good job Hektor!..
Joe thank you for the kind comment
Excellent program to ensure cars continue to stack on the streets. How this program isn't a second story add on only, so cars can still be garaged is mind-boggling
I’m glad my next door neighbor is only doing a single story ADU. If he had done a two story, it would have taken away the privacy of my backyard.
@@md-wg4bzyour back yard is not private no matter how private you think it is. Anyone can raise a pole in their yard with a 360 camera on the tip and you couldn't do a thing
Thank you ❤
Thank you Hektor! I love your videoss
For duplex with 2 attached garages, do you need to replace parking space? I heard that you dont need it if u live within 1/2 mile from the bus stop. Do they calculate the distance between the bus stop and the house or the conversion garage?
One thing I will add is don’t be cheap when it comes to the plumbing , I hired a guy just because he was the cheapest option and it ended up costing me thousands , layout was off , gas lines leaking… horrible experience.
Great content ty
Great Video!!!
OMG you’re exactly what I need to help me with my ADU in Placentia!!! I’m doing it as my own GC 👩🏻🔧
If you need a good handyman I am local to La county
Omg!! I’m looking to buy in Placentia and build an ADU. Maybe we can bounce off ideas
Thank You for reminding me why I left ca. over a decade ago......Good Luck too You Sir
