An ADU Built to Be Proud Of - Not Just to Check a Box
In Thousand Oaks, where neighborhoods are established and neighbors are close, the way your ADU looks and lasts matters. We don't treat ADUs as production-line builds. Every project gets the same attention to detail we'd give our own homes - because our reputation in this community depends on it.
From the materials we select to the trades we trust, every decision is made with longevity and livability in mind. The result is an accessory dwelling unit that adds genuine value to your property and genuine comfort to whoever calls it home.

Thousand Oaks Homeowners Trust Us to Deliver - On Time, On Budget
Speed and reliability aren't just promises we make - they're disciplines we practice. Our permit team knows Thousand Oaks municipal requirements inside and out, which means fewer revision cycles, faster approvals, and a construction start date you can actually count on.
When you work with us, you're not handing your project to a distant contractor who shows up late and communicates rarely. You're partnering with a local team that answers the phone, shows up when we say we will, and treats your home with the respect it deserves.

What Homeowners Say
Projects across Thousand Oaks and surrounding communities.
"Handled the whole planning process. We went to one hearing and that was it."
"Detached unit in the back garden. Good design, good build quality, and the cost changes were documented and agreed in advance."
"Every allowance was itemised at the start, so the finish selections did not turn into a surprise at the end."
"They walked us through setbacks and utility capacity before we paid anything, and told us one of our two options was not going to get approved."
"Garage conversion finished on the drawings and close to the schedule. They were honest that the sewer connection was the unknown, and it was."
"The rental income has covered the payment since the second month. They were realistic about the numbers rather than optimistic."
"The permit set and the build were one contract with one number. Our neighbours used two firms and spent a year watching them blame each other."

ADU Service Across the Thousand Oaks Area
We Are the Thousand Oaks Team for Ellery.
Ellery was founded in 2015, the year California's ADU law changed and the permitting queue became the actual product. It is a design-build studio rather than a contractor: the drawings, the permit set and the build are one contract with one price, because the ADU projects that go wrong are almost always the ones where the designer and the builder can each blame the other.
Same training, same parts, same pricing practice, and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise - delivered by people who live here.
