PrefabADU Review

PrefabADU is a Bay Area based company that specializes in ADU homes. Their prefabricated homes come in 9 different floor plans with the additional option to modify the plans to your exact needs. PrefabADU is unique in the fact that they can customize the exterior of your ADU to match the aesthetics of your existing primary residence. Examples of facades that they can match range from standard siding to Spanish stucco and even modern stucco and wood exteriors.

It is worth noting that PrefabADU has the ability to operate as a full-service company and handle all stages of the project, from the initial design consultations to manufacturing the ADU and even arranging the site work, instillation, and finishing. In some cases however, past buyers have mentioned that PrefabADU outsourced certain stages of the build process to third-party contractors. It is also worth noting that homes from PrefabADU come with a variety of finishes including cabinets, fixtures, and select appliances. 

Strengths:

  •  They offer a number of models with the option for custom exterior finishes

  • Can assist buyers in all aspects of the project

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • They have received several negative reviews related to the quality of work, lack of communication, and deviation from the project timeline

  • You are located outside of their Bay Area service area

  • Their prefab ADUs are outside of your price range
