Hector, I need all those contractors here in the Bay Area… We have our permits here in the East Bay and are in the process of interviewing all these different contractors… it’s a real headache…but we will get through it. We are going to binge watch all out your well done ADU videos to increase our knowledge and education… Again, thank you very much, Hector.
You my friend are a helpful and Amazing human being... Thank you for your valuable time
Dude, Thank you so much. I don’t know why this isn’t the most viewed video. Thank you for showing the dug up sewer lines and the cuts in the concrete. I don’t have to visualize it, but I see it, and it makes so much sense. Keep up all the great work
Glad it helped!
Thank you Hektor, just got my ADU approved from the City of Carson and I am excited to start my project. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for the video. I live in Alameda, CA, the sewer line and the water line can be connected through the main building's water and sewer lines for ADU. Just wanted to let you know so others don't have to spend thousands of dollars extra. Thank you.
Are you currently building a ADU? I live in Hayward and I’m considering building one.
Oh that’s good to know
I am doing a garage to ADU conversion and was wondering the same thing about the underground plumbing. I got a little nervous when it was mentioned that you cannot connect through the main building sewer line. Good to know!
Not sure that’s true
I am starting the process to build a basement ADU in Los Angeles. Thank you for the great information.
The more I watch your videos, the more I learn about the ADU process. Thanks so much for videos and you are really helping people like me in their ADU project :) I smell green in the near future
Christian hello 👋 thank you for the kind comment 😄 more videos coming soon 👍
This was great insight. Thanks for sharing this Hektor!
Great video series. I am following you.
I think you have a really nice building inspector. Most wouldn't be so kind to walk you through the steps like your inspector have.
Look forward to seeing your project in the end......
Adrian, Thank you for the follow and the awesome comment. All i did was ask and he was nice enough to give me answers. Electrical video coming soon.
Thank you so much for the info. I learn a lot and will follow to have a nice adu like your.
I love these videos, in the permit approval phase right now. Spring Valley, CA
Very helpful and well detailed, thank you !!!
Hektor, another great video! Can’t wait to see the finished product
Francisco thank you for the awesome comments! I hope my videos help in any way.
Your videos are super helpful and awesome man! I noticed the sewer vent pipe is going through your footing. Was that acceptable to the inspector?
Your videos are VERY HELPFUL, thank you.
Hi hector . A few questions . Did you do seperate gas water and electric meters ? Also is there a seperate water heater or is it tied in to the main one ? Thank you
Very helpful video ! Thank you so much ! Can you recommend your plumber contractor?
thanks for sharing. our world needs more generous souls like yourself...
Thank you soo much for the awesome comment!!
7:00 is the drain outside required or is that for an outdoor thankless water heater to tie in?
Hi Hektor - the sewer is include in your plumbing permit? Where did you connect your ADU sewer? did you run it all the way to the main sewer outside your property?
When they cut the concrete did they come across any rebar?
Thank you for the continuous information..
Thank you for all the great information. Looks like you did your homework on your contractors. Can I have the Plumers and electricians contact information?
Very informative video! One question, what size waste lines did you run?
Hi , am I looking at this wrong ? Is that your water meter on top ? Did you stop into the main water line before the meter for the ADU ?
Thank you for your educational video. PLz keep it up .
I worked as a handy man /helper with a friends dad that owned a contractor business, I basically know how to do all the stuff myself, I was wondering if I did it under owner/builder what things can I do myself ?
Great video! Thank you for taking time ans showing us the procedure. Do you need plumbing and electrical plans when you submit for building permits for an ADU in Los Angeles? Thank you.
No you don't need to submit plumbing or electrical plans. That's done after your ADU plans are approved. A license plumber or electrician has to pull those permits.
Your videos are genius thank you
Good Job!!!! Im doing ADU plans..
Great video Hektor, I am also doing an ADU, and I was wondering if you have to put plywood all around the ADU or just the front?.. cause my garage don't have plywood at all.
Hello Adolfo, I'm also in the process of doing an ADU, about if we share some experiences, information and contacts like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, designers and so, text me first at 818 982-2884 and after that, we may then talk........thanks.......
Who exactly cuts up the slab and does the digging on the interior? I have a demo company who can dig from my adu which is on the back side of my house to the front going around the house for 2k. I haven't considered the interior tho. The city will always make me dig this open even thought I already have plumbing?
What did all the plumbing cost from rough in to finish
Do ADU need to have central air?
Hi Hekto. I grately appreciate that. I just would like to have the number of the plumber who also did your electrical work. I’m looking forward to see the final result in your ADU good luck. Thx
Did your plumbing job include digging for the sewer? Or what was included for $2,500?
Very Helpful Video.. I'm currently in process of building my ADU and at first I was going to do it all without permits. Ive changed my mind and decided to get everything permitted but I've covered up all the plumbing. All I have is a bunch of pictures to show the inspector. Do you know if Inspectors will allow pictures as proof of compliance??
Nacho!!! From my experience my inspector will not look at pictures. He wanted to see the rough pipes every step of the way before we could cover up with soil. Other wise he will not sign the rough plumbing inspection card.
How do you find the “city” sewer line on your property?
Hector. How much was the cost for the sewer line?
Great content. My only real question is how are you going to allocate water/gas/electrical w/o separate meters? Did you look into the costs associated with that? Thanks & Cheers.
Michael city of LA does not require separate meters. I also did not want separate meters since I the ADU was going to be for a family member.
Will your plumber come to Ontario? That's where I'm doing my first ADU. Plans are with the city for approval
Hi Hektor . Thank you for your videos .
Your sewer line in your front yard is 3 inches or 4 inches ? If its 4 inches did the inspector make you change it ?
I think it's 4" we verified with the inspector before we did any work and he approved it.
Hey man, just saw your ADU conversion videos and were really instructional and informative. I'm looking into purchasing my first home in LA County with option to build an ADU. I'm losing offers left and right. Super stoked to find someone like you with the same goals. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It means a lot!
Larry im sorry to hear your losing offers, This is a tough market you need a solid strategy to get your offer accepted and to stand out from the rest. I hope you find a place and convert the garage to an ADU!!! Good luck
@@HektorCastillo Yes sir, I just lost another one this weekend. Its a sellers market. Thanks for the advice. Are you an active real estate agent or investing in yourself?
@@larrysheran I'm an active Realtor since 2011, Ive invested in fixers before with a group of investors. Flipping property is so much fun. If i invest in another flip i might make a TH-cam video lol. If you want a different approach to buying a house let me know i might have some tips for you. Even in this market i can negotiate a deal for the seller to drop the price.
@@HektorCastillo Thanks Hektor, that would be awesome. What would be the best way to contact you?
Hey brotha. Thanks so much for the videos. Did you say that floor plans normally cost $5-6k?
That's the average. For a regular garage conversion it should be a bit lower depending who you hire to do the job.
Wow this is helpful. I’m about to sign a contract and need clarification that my contractors are aware of of plumbing, water and gas line requirements. Is this standard ? Or is this specific to Los Angeles? I’m in San Diego.
Sherry hello! You should clarify and make sure plumbing, water and gas lines are in the contract. Ask you contractor if he has experience building ADU projects and evidence of projects completed. The guidelines should be for the state of California however every city has their own rules. Call your designer and ask them if the plans call for specific ADU plumbing codes. The designer should know they deal with the city to get your plans approved. If the designer doesn't know get a new designer or go to the city yourself. Its a pain to go to the city but i did it.
Hi Hektor I just started to follow your TH-cam videos. Fist of all thank you for doing this. This will help a lot of us that are starting with a project like that and with low income. I appreciate that. I message your wife I hope she responds to me soon. I just would like to have the number of the plumber who also did your electrical work seems he is pretty good. I’m looking forward to see the final result in your ADU good luck.
Jaden, Thank you for the nice comment. Just in case Natalie doesn't get back to you right away. Send me a text msg and ill forward you her number. In regards to the plumber send me a msg and ill send you the info. He ask me no to post his info on line. 818-564-5835
@@HektorCastillo hi Hektor, your plumber sounds like it would be a good contact to have. I’m in Southern California. Would you mind sharing the contact info?
Hi Hektor, thanks for making this video. Would you mind sharing an estimate total of how much the cost was overall?
Daisy hello the over all cost was about $44,000 I will be making a new video about the overall experience 👍
At 9:58, why did your plumber dig 2ft inside the house? What do you mean when you said he installed new lines?
To install the toilet sewer line.
Hi hektor Great Videos. I am about to start my ADU. I got my city permit as a builder owner. Is that how you got yours?......a second question, whenever you brought someone in to do let's say electrical for example Did you provide the inspector with the electrician License #?
The contractor has to pull your electrical, plumbing and HVAC permit. The city inspector does not ask for a license he will ask for a permit and that permit will have the contractors license.
That's not true Hektor. As an Owner Build you can do the electrical plumbing and HVAC yourself and do not need a licensed electrician or plumber, you can do the work yourself the city inspector will look at the work and make sure it is up to code.
Can you give me the information of the contractors you used? I am in the process of building an ADU but I hired a contractor to do the framing and he messed up the whole addition and abandoned the project. I gave him many chances to get it right and he couldn't despite being a "licensed professional". Thanks for your videos big help to homeowners. Keep up the great work.👍👍
Edwin sorry for the late reply. Is this for an ADU project. I asked my plumber if he was available and he said he will only do ADU project for now?
@@HektorCastillo I'm in framing stage right now., I'm looking for a framer that is honest. Your framer sounds like a good person to work with. I'm located in Panorama City and have had a few framers come by, but they are to busy or want alot of money up front. Please lmk if I can get in contact with them. Thanks for your reply.
Good job!!
Thank you!!
Did you have to give the contractors license number who did your plumbing, electrical and framing to the city?
Armando, your license contractor has to pull a permit for electrical, plumbing and HVAC. The contractor will provide their info to the city when they pull the permits
I want to build an ADU but I already have the bathtub, toilet, water heater and vanity installed without a permit, it was done by a licensed plumber about 20 years ago, you think this will be a big big problem, you think I have to tear down some of the drywall, based on your experience, you think II have to re-do everything, what do you think about it. Thanks Hectorito......
I'm also located at area 818 NoHo. Hope you can give me some advice......
Josesito most likely you will need to tear down the drywall and maybe even the bathroom. You need to pass all your rough inspections to meet ADU codes. In regards to the plumbing it will need to be exposed for the inspector to sign off on the work. I had drywall, laminated floors and new electrical in my garage and the inspector made me tear it all down. If you have any other questions give me a call
@@HektorCastillo Gracias Carnal........hablas espanol......

Hello i saw everything you did do you have a list and phone #s of the people you used in the ADU plummers, electrical, etc. thanks
Mike hello please visit heekk.com for the info 👍
Hi Hector! Do you mind sharing the contact info for the plumber you hired to do the plumbing and gas?
*Hektor
Do you do ADU in Loma Linda?
Rena Hello, unfortunately I'm not a contractor i wont be able to help you out with building. If you need someone to help you out with your plans Natalie from NC Design can help you out with a consultation. She will go over the process on what it takes to get plans approved by the city and start building.
Who are you using as your general contractor?
I did not use one general contractor. I used multiple companies/contractors to do the work. With this strategy there is no conflict of interest from one company. The framer does not know the plumber, this way when one contractor is done the next contractor will come along and do his specific job. With this strategy Ive had no overhead and everyone is done on time.
How are you finding your contractors?
Contractors get in contact with me. I ask them a bunch of questions to find out their ADU experience and what pricing they offer client. If their pricing if fair I add them to my list 👍
Is there a number i can call you , i would like to ask you a few questions about adus , thank you
