Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven

How to find a contractor and what are ADUs and do you need one?


Listen Later

Paul Dashevsky, of GreatBuildz in California, takes time out to talk about how he connects homeowners with contractors, how to go about hiring a contractor and how to make the construction process smoother. The main focus of his visit is his advice about how to build an ADU- accessory dwelling unit. ADUs have been in the news lately as a way to gain additional living space on your property without adding to the house. This may be a solution for people (zoning permitting) who are looking for a home office, place for their parents or adult children to live nearby, or as an income generating unit.

About this week's guest Paul Dashevsky, founder of GreatBuildz:

GreatBuildz was founded by a team of real estate and construction professionals who believe everyone deserves to find a great contractor, have a stress-free renovation, and enjoy their beautiful new space.

We match clients with only reputable contractors who passed our rigorous screening process and signed our Code of Conduct.

Over 50% of homeowners report having a negative experience with their contractor.

It's no surprise people considering a remodel are often anxious and confused.

GreatBuildz provides clients personalized guidance and support, empowering them to renovate with confidence.
