From our very first appointment with Gershon, we felt confident we were in excellent hands. He listened carefully to what we wanted, offered thoughtful design suggestions, and walked us through the process and timeline in a clear, transparent way. Every step—from initial design and planning to the finishing touches—was handled smoothly, with consistent updates so we always knew what was happening next. The crew that worked on our home was hard working, professional, and very knowledgeable. They arrived on time, respected our home, and kept the work area as tidy as possible, which we really appreciated. The finished kitchen looks fantastic and functions even better than we hoped and the quality of the workmanship really stands out. Friends and family have already commented on how beautiful and well thought-out the space is. We would not hesitate to hire GS Design & Build again for future projects. If you’re looking for a top-tier contractor for your home remodeling, GS Design & Build are an outstanding choice.

Expert ADU Construction in Los Gatos, CA
ADU construction in Los Gatos gives homeowners a practical way to add a fully independent living unit to their existing lot. At GS Design and Build, we handle the entire process from site assessment and design through framing, mechanical work, and final inspections. Los Gatos allows detached ADUs up to 1,200 square feet on most single-family residential lots, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks for new construction. Hillside properties in the HR and RC zones may require additional foundation and drainage engineering due to sloped terrain. We account for those site-specific conditions early so nothing surprises you mid-project. Whether you want a detached backyard cottage, an attached addition, or a garage conversion, we match the design to your lot and your goals. Los Gatos also requires new ADUs to match the exterior materials, roofing, and trim of the primary home. We build to those objective design standards from day one. Call GS Design and Build to talk through what your property can support.
