If you need a reliable team for a home renovation, these are the guys. They listen to what you want and offer creative solutions for tight spaces.
Great experience with our bathroom remodel. The tile work is flawless and they managed to stay right on the budget we discussed at the start.
The ADU they built in our backyard turned out perfect. They handled all the permitting headaches with the city and kept us updated throughout the whole process.
Oren and the team really transformed our old kitchen into something that feels like it belongs in a magazine. They were on time every day and kept the workspace remarkably clean which I appreciated.

I had a hard time finding a construction company whose work was not only nice but cost effective as well. ADU construction was that company. I needed my kitchen remodeled and they went above and beyond with bringing my vision to life. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
- Price assessment: Great price

These guys were awesome! Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the job turned out even better than I expected. Definitely my go-to company
We appreciate your feedback! Glad to hear everything turned out better than expected—thank you for choosing us!
The service I received from the professionals at OCA Builders was simply off the charts. I purchased a piece of land roughly 40mins outside of Santa Cruz roughly a year ago and recently decided to have a detached ADU built in addition to the ranch style home where we will be residing. The professionals at OCA were polite, punctual, and thorough - with such an amazing attention to detail. Their prices were unbeatable, and we've already made back the money we put into the ADU by listing it for use on airbnb when it isn't occupied by family. If you are in the market for any type of ADU, these guys are the ones to call! I promise you won't be disappointed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks so much for the amazing review! We’re glad your new ADU is already paying off and that our team’s attention to detail, pricing, and service stood out. Enjoy your new space—we appreciate your trust and recommendation!
