Why us

Why Choose Ellery?

The same four answers in every market we serve.

One Standard, Every Location

Every Ellery team works to the same written standard, the same pricing practice, and the same checklist. The town changes; the job does not.

You Approve the Price First

A free estimate, itemized and in writing, before a tool comes out of the truck. No hourly meter, no discovering the real number at the end.

Licensed, Insured, Background-Checked

Uniformed technicians, licensed for the work in their own state, insured, and background-checked before they ever knock on a door.

Backed by a 365-Day Written Promise

If the work is not right, we come back and make it right. That is the whole promise, and it is on paper, not just on the website.

Our code: H.A.V.E.N.

Our story

Doing It This Way Since 2015.

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.

A founder's surname, used the way design practices use them. An ADU is a year-long relationship and a six-figure decision; people want to know whose practice it is.

What Our Customers Say

Homeowners in every market we serve, in their own words.

★★★★★

"Garage conversion finished on the drawings and close to the schedule. They were honest that the sewer connection was the unknown, and it was."

Arjun D.
Arjun D. Verified customer · July 2026
★★★★★

"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."

Helena V.
Helena V. Verified homeowner · December 2024
★★★★★

"The rental income has covered the payment since the second month. They were realistic about the numbers rather than optimistic."

Odette N.
Odette N. Verified customer · July 2026
★★★★★

"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."

Mireille T.
Mireille T. Verified homeowner · May 2026
★★★★★

"Every allowance was itemised at the start, so the finish selections did not turn into a surprise at the end."

Benedict H. Verified customer · October 2025
★★★★☆

"Handled the whole planning process. We went to one hearing and that was it."
