What Menifee Homeowners Say About Ellery ADU Studio Menifee
Reviews matter because an ADU is the biggest project most homeowners will undertake, and Menifee’s market has seen too many half-finished garage conversions and permit nightmares. We earn ours the slow way: by showing up with a written price before any work starts, documenting every visit with photos our clients actually receive, and honoring the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. No summary of how it felt. Evidence of what was done.
Recent Reviews
“We had a written quote for our garage conversion on Romoland Avenue before Nadia even left the driveway. The slab was four inches, which she said was within range, but the electrical panel needed a service upgrade she spotted during the first walk. That line item was in the original scope, not a surprise halfway through. Permits cleared in seven weeks, and we have the photo record from every inspection.”
Maria G., Romoland, Menifee
“Our Junior ADU off McCall Boulevard started with a free second opinion on another contractor’s estimate. Nadia found a setback variance issue they had missed - the city requires extra distance from the property line on our lot because of the creek easement. She redrew the footprint, resubmitted to Menifee Community Development, and the permit set sailed through. One contract, one price, no designer blaming the builder.”
Carmen R., McCall Boulevard area, Menifee
“We looked at prefab options for a detached ADU in the Sun City area, and Nadia walked us through Abodu, Cover, and Mighty Buildings without pushing any single brand. She specified the Dvele system in our final contract because it fit the sloped lot on Murrieta Road better than a flat-pack alternative. The crane day was documented, the utility tie-in was documented, and we received every photo.”
Shannon P., Sun City, Menifee
“Three contractors gave us verbal ballpark figures for our interior conversion. Nadia was the only one who put a written price on paper before we signed - Haven Standard Clause 1, she called it. When the asbestos survey came back with a small hot spot in the original drywall, the abatement was already in her contingency line item. No change order, no panic, just an email with photos of the remediation and the next inspection date.”
Carmen H., Menifee Lakes area, Menifee
“The 365-Day Done Right Promise sounded like marketing until we needed it. Six months after our garage conversion ADU passed final inspection, we noticed a hairline crack in the stucco where the old garage door header had been infilled. Nadia sent the same crew, pulled the photo record from the original header removal, and matched the repair to the existing texture. In writing, she had said she would. In practice, she did.”
Maria G., Romoland, Menifee
“Live person answering the phone at 9 PM on a Sunday sounds like a gimmick until your tenant texts that the mini-split isn’t cooling. I called (951) 528-2967 expecting voicemail, got a human who pulled our project file, confirmed the Mitsubishi warranty was still active, and had a tech out Tuesday morning. That call log is in our photo record portal. Nothing feels like a black hole with this studio.”

Why Customers Trust Us
Every review circles back to the same structural choices Nadia Ellery built into Ellery ADU Studio Menifee since 2015. The written price before work starts isn’t a preference - it’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it appears on every one of the 900-plus ADUs this studio has designed, permitted, and built. The documented photo record isn’t a courtesy; it’s proof of what was found and what was done, delivered to the client, not held in a company file. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing before the project starts, not offered as a verbal afterthought when something goes wrong.
Our one-contract design-build model means the person who draws your ADU floor plan also coordinates your Menifee permit set, your site prep, your utility tie-in, and your final inspection. No designer pointing at the builder. No builder claiming the drawings were wrong. One written scope, one written price, one accountable studio.
We’ve specified and coordinated prefab and modular systems from Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie - always within that same single contract, never as an add-on that fragments responsibility. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and their license number appears on every page of our documentation.
If you have a written estimate in hand from another Menifee ADU contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion. We’ll tell you what we find, not what we felt about it. And if you move forward with us, you’ll receive a permit set you can read, a photo record you can scroll, and a warranty you can enforce.
Call (951) 528-2967 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.
