saying about Samara
Can’t say enough good things about this company and their team. Enrique is awesome and even the Fire Inspector when I was onsite at the end, told me he how great Enrique was to work with. Jesus and Sam and the whole onsite team were professional, really cared and were such a pleasure to work with. When we decided to build an ADU we wanted to do it as quickly as possible while also having something quality, stylish and that was fairly hands off on our part. This checked all of those boxes, they made it honestly super easy! Very professional every step of the way, great communication, timely/organized project management and the end result is exactly what we wanted. We ran into a couple snags with the city and they handled everything and made it so easy and stress free AND….. stayed on budget. Highly highly recommend!
this company and their team."
Samara and the team are amazing! Things always come up in building but they worked through every bump seamlessly. The communication from start to finish was great. I highly recommend Samara to make your life much easier than other options. Thanks Samara, place looks great!
start to finish was great."
My husband and I are doing all we can to increase our retirement portfolio. There’s no better return on your money like Real Estate. Our goal is to have an ADU on every one of our rental properties. After building our first two ADU’s, the traditional way, we found Samara. I can successfully make the statement that going with Samara was, Hand’s Down, the best decision we’ve gone with this far! My husband and I have a mortgage company and we knew we wanted to finance our next ADU. The finance option that was quoted to us was so low we couldn’t even touch the interest rate. And the best part was The Cost Quoted was The Cost throughout the whole build! No surprise hidden fees Ever. But the actual best part was the fact that I did NOT need to lift a finger, make a decision, meet with anyone, get Not one permit or pick out: tile, appliances, outlet layouts, find subs or deal with any bad news along the build. My husband and I just laid back and never stressed the Samara System. We trusted they had it all under control. We were updated weekly and felt everything was handled with professionalism and top notch construction. After the ADU was delivered we had our general contractor inspect the unit wall to wall. He was extremely impressed and understood why we decided to go with Samara. I highly recommend investing time looking into using Samara for your ADU build. I’m positive we will be using their services again!
best decision we’ve gone with this far!"
We had a fantastic experience working with Samara on our new ADU. From start to finish, the team was professional, communicative, and truly invested in making sure everything went smoothly. Enrique kept us informed at every stage, addressed any concerns quickly, and made the whole process feel seamless. The final product exceeded our expectations—the design is beautiful, the build quality is excellent, and it fits perfectly with our property. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Samara to anyone considering an ADU!
