Contact Ellery ADU Studio Glendale - Free ADU Estimate in Glendale
Call us at (424) 325-4322 to schedule your free ADU estimate in Glendale. When you reach us, you’ll speak with a live coordinator who connects you directly with our local team. There’s no hard sell, no pressure to decide on the spot, and we’ll typically have availability to assess your property within a few days.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: We answer and listen. A live coordinator picks up during business hours and takes down the basics of your project, your Glendale neighborhood, and what you’re hoping to build. We’ll ask about your lot size, existing structures, and whether you’ve looked into city zoning at all.
Step 2: We schedule an on-site assessment. We set a specific appointment window with a named designer-build lead who will walk your property in Glendale. You’ll get a text when they’re on the way, per Haven Standard Clause 2.
Step 3: You receive a written estimate. Within 48 hours of the visit, we deliver a flat-price written estimate with line-item costs for design, permit expediting, and construction. Clause 1 means the price is fixed before anyone starts, not a starting point that drifts upward.
Step 4: We build to the drawings. Once you approve, we handle the permit set, city submittal, and construction under one contract with one price. Every phase is photo-documented, and you receive a written warranty at completion.
Why Glendale Homeowners Call Us First
- We know Glendale’s zoning landscape. The city updated its ADU ordinance in 2020 and again after SB 9, and we’ve tracked every revision. We know which R-1 zones in Glenoaks and Rossmoyne allow detached units at 1,000 square feet, and where the hillside overlay in Chevy Chase triggers additional review.
- Every pro on your job carries required coverage. Every designer and builder working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance California mandates, and we verify it before they step on your property. License numbers go in your contract, per Haven Standard Clause 3.
- The price on the page is the price you pay. Our written estimates include every permit fee, utility connection, and contingency we can foresee. Clause 5 of the Haven Standard forbids scope creep and door upsells. If we missed something, we absorb it.
- Your build leaves a paper trail. Clause 4 requires photo and measurement documentation at every phase. When we finish your ADU in Glendale, you get the full record, not just a handshake and a promise.
Our Service Area Around Glendale
We design, permit, and build ADUs throughout Glendale and the surrounding communities. From Burbank and North Hollywood to the west, Pasadena and Monterey Park to the east, and Los Feliz, Studio City, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills to the south, we typically schedule assessments within three to five business days. Downtown Los Angeles, Alhambra, and East Los Angeles fall within our regular service radius as well.
If your property sits just outside these areas, call anyway. We’ve taken projects in adjacent neighborhoods when the zoning and access make sense, and we’ll tell you honestly if we’re not the right fit.

Have your address, a rough idea of your lot dimensions, and any prior conversations with the city about zoning or setbacks.
