We worked with New Key Construction to remodel our backyard workshop and transform it into a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom ADU for my parents to retire and live in. New Key did an absolute outstanding job and we are so happy we chose them for one of the largest investments we've ever made. - Quality Work - Reggie and his team do quality work; they do not cut corners, and they will always lean to do things the right way that is safe, compliant, and functional. You can feel the quality when you walk around; there is a meticulousness to the work that is hard to find anywhere else. - Project Planning - We were assigned a project manager and a foreman who kept us updated very frequently on the state of construction. The work was completed on-time if you account for the realities of construction which were largely due to supply delays and/or the occasional coordinate of some competing work. To convert a workshop (where we literally stripped it down) to a livable, high-quality ADU in 5 months is impressive! Also, they showed up on-time every day and if they were going to be late (or not come), we would be told. - Culture - Everyone that works at New Key Construction was a pleasure to work with; they hire people who care about the work they are doing and make an effort to get to know you. We could tell the employees enjoyed working at New Key, and it shows in the work. We looked at several companies before choosing New Key. I wholeheartedly will say it was worth it - you get quality work, quality communication, a 10-year warranty, and people who legitimately care about you and your home. You won't regret it!

Reggie and his team were wonderful and easy to work with. We got paired with an awesome project manager who made sure everything turned out perfect. She even came on the weekend to make sure the final touches were perfect. All unexpected hiccups were taken care of right away and explained thoroughly. The whole project was done on time. I love the website used to track everything happening on a daily basis. There was a full calendar of what is to be expected. Reggie always got back to me. I recommend using New Key Construction.

After researching and interviewing several local contractors in the Pleasant Hill area, we chose to work with Reggie and the New Key Construction team to complete our kitchen remodel and update the flooring in the main areas of our house. From the start, Reggie was responsive and thoughtful in his approach to our scope of work and dedicated a lot of time to thoroughly review our wishlist, budget, and timeline as the project took shape. He was open, honest and realistic in every conversation and made us feel comfortable and ready for the work ahead. Elle was our Project Manager and did a terrific job organizing the build schedule and juggling all of the moving pieces from start to finish. Even with covid-related material delays, she pushed hard to keep our project on track and stayed in constant contact with all of the vendors and contractors involved. She was quick to flag any issues that came up, explore solutions when needed, and took the time to make sure we were happy as the project progressed. She and Reggie were receptive to feedback and accountable when issues arose (fortunately, all were relatively minor). It is evident that the New Key Construction team has a great working relationship with their subcontractors. All of the subs were friendly, timely, clean, and produced high-quality work. Having lived in the house while the work was completed, we could see first-hand that no corners were cut and nothing was overlooked! As an added bonus, they utilize the Buildertrend platform, which made it easy to track our finances, view when specific work was scheduled, and stay aligned on change orders. It is obvious that Reggie and New Key take pride in their work and truly want what’s best for their clients. We had a great experience and love our new kitchen and floors!

My Wife and I recently completed a high end remodel of our master bathroom in Alamo. We couldn't be more pleased (See Pictures attached) Reggie Keding and his company New Key Construction were recommended to us by our designer Carol Christenson of First Impressions Interior Design, and her husband Steve Ross owner of Distinctive Cabinetry in Walnut Creek. It seems everyone on our street is doing remodels, construction, this year. Everyone has their share of contractor horror stories. I need to stress you would not be disappointed with Reggie and his crew at New Key. They do what they say they are going to do, are on site when they say they will be there. Reggie runs a job with military precision. Materials are on site before work begins. He lets you know pretty much daily what is to be done that day, goals for the week etc. We were never in the dark about anything, Reggie was always available by phone, text, and e mail, and returned any communication immediately. Reggie and his company get our highest recommendation, it is the only contractor we would use for future jobs. The pictures speak for themselves. We had old glass bricks for shower walls, old cracked shower tiles, an ancient white Formica Vanity, and now we have this wonderful new master bath. Steve G.

Yes, we love those! If you need a solution for your in-laws, long-term guests, or a growing family, we are here for you. ADUs have become a popular solution in Contra Costa County! An ADU is also known as an in-law house, backyard house, guest house, or casita; basically a small home that can be built on the same lot alongside another, larger single-family home.

Yes, most definitely. It could be worth building an ADU on your property if you attempt to sell it home and do not receive great offers. Adding a new separate living structure to your lot will bring to the table a very different buyer.
The price of an ADU is all over the map. It is therefore not an easy task to clarify the cost of building an ADU. The building costs of the same structure will vary greatly depending on the contractors involved and on the actual labor and material costs in a given area. It will also depend largely on which kind of ADU we are building. A conversion to a basement ADU is very different from an ADU above a parking garage or one in your backyard. All of these factors make it difficult to determine the ‘average ADU cost.’ ADU costs $300-$600 per sq/ft depending on how complex the construction is, how custom or standard the build-out is, and lastly what price level of finish you want. There are 3 types of ADUs: Highest cost: Custom built aka Stick built. Completely custom Middle cost: Precut framing ADU. The framing is shipped built out. The walls are pre-assembled. Semi custom Lowest cost: Pre-assembled from prebuilt styles. Least custom. A prefinished (detached) mini home is delivered to your backyard. Each direction has is benefits and drawbacks. Let’s chat to discuss which direction is best for you.
If you are considering options to increase the value of your land, an ADU can look like a logical choice. However, one question always comes to mind among the various choices and information involved: Will An ADU Add Value To A Home? Like so many things in life, the answer is a little complicated. It depends on the comparables that have sold in the area within the past 6 months within a one-mile radius. You can also take 1/3 to 1/2 of the “main” home’s $/sqft. and apply that to the ADU. When conducting a Price Per Square Foot comparison, adhere to the 10 percent rule to be accurate. The 10 percent rule says that both the improvements and the square footage of the land must be within 10 percent of those of the subject property being evaluated. ADUs offer many financial advantages beyond social benefits. ADUs can increase your property value by 20-30 percent depending on your project and area! Furthermore, one survey showed that the value of properties with ADUs was increased by over 50%. You can obtain legal rent from an authorized ADU in several areas. Many homeowners have the option to have their properties rented (and thus produce monthly income) as well as the option to provide accommodation and even additional space for family members. You should also understand how the unit will produce rental income before you start planning your ADU. Take a look at related properties and properties awaiting sale or recently sold to help you decide if the ADU’s expense is recovered after a few years of leasing. The best way to assess if an ADU project suits your situation best is to equate projected costs with future revenues. Lastly, the main property must be kept in mind when preparing your project. The ADU should not seem cramped or out of place and should be as elegant as the main house.
An accessory dwelling unit (also known as a casita or detached inlaw unit) is a second small residence right on the same land as the original residence. Examples include: A garage apartment A small house (on a backyard foundation) A Basement flat. Regardless of the shape of the house (cottage in the backyard, cellar, etc), an ADU is legally included in the property of its principal residence. The ADU owner is the primary residence owner. Builders call them ADUs, but they are also known as granny flats, in-law units, laneways, secondary housing units and hundreds of other names. ADUs may be small houses, but the ADUs are not always small houses. There are several reasons why people create them, but according to one study the most frequent motives are to gain privacy, simplify your living situation and even earn spare income as rent. For environmental, lifestyle, and financial purposes, the housing versatility ADUs offer makes sense. While many people purchase and remain in their homes for decades, over time, their real needs change. Unfortunately, the way houses are currently constructed does not reflect these changes, especially how the households with only 1 or 2 members can spend decades. For 1- or 2-person households, many American houses are too large to maintain, so an ADU makes sense for them and their wallets.
