Why Citrus Homes Are Different
Citrus sits in that particular slice of the San Gabriel Valley where housing stock runs the full timeline. You’ll find original 1950s ranchers with generous backyards that can actually fit an 800-square-foot ADU without eating the entire lot. You’ll also see infill construction from the last two decades, where side setbacks are measured in feet and the garage often sits at the front of a narrow parcel. That mix changes how we approach every job.
The climate does its part too. Citrus summers run hot and dry, which puts real stress on exterior cladding and rooflines. We lean on materials from our brands like James Hardie fiber cement and prefab systems from Cover and Dvele that are engineered for thermal performance in exactly this kind of heat. Smaller lots mean we spend more time on setback verification before quoting, because an ADU that technically fits on paper may not clear the actual side-yard distances once you account for the existing structure. That’s the kind of thing we’d rather catch in writing than in the middle of excavation.
Our Main Citrus Services
Most Citrus homeowners reach out for one of three things: a new ADU on an existing lot, a larger home addition that expands the main house, or a focused room addition for a specific need. Each has its own page with full pricing and FAQs, linked below.
ADU Builders in Citrus
ADUs in Citrus range from detached backyard units to garage conversions and JADUs carved out of existing floor space. Setbacks are the biggest variable here, especially on older lots where the house sits close to the property line. We walk every site before quoting, verify what Citrus will allow, and pair you with prefab options from Cover, Dvele, and Boxabl when speed and predictable pricing matter. See the full breakdown on our ADU Builders in Citrus page.
Home Addition Contractor in Citrus
Home additions in Citrus often mean expanding kitchens, adding a primary bedroom suite, or pushing the living room into the backyard. Foundation matching is a common challenge on older Citrus homes, where the original slab may not align perfectly with modern code depths. We handle that with a written price before work starts and no scope creep billed after the fact. Details on our Home Addition Contractor in Citrus page.
Room Addition Contractor in Citrus
When you need one more room, a Citrus room addition is the most surgical option. Think home office, guest bedroom, or a dedicated laundry space that keeps the rest of the house intact. We coordinate foundation, framing, electrical, and finish work under one written contract. No verbal estimates that shift at the door. Read the full guide on our Room Addition Contractor in Citrus page.

Prices in Citrus push higher when setbacks trigger custom foundation work or when the existing home’s electrical panel needs an upgrade to support the new square footage. Older Citrus homes with original 100-amp panels often need a service upgrade before an ADU can pass inspection. Our written price covers that upfront. No surprise line items after demo day.
