Our Services

ADU Construction

Shafter's growing neighborhoods—from Gossamer Grove to Thomas Lane—are perfect for ADU additions. Lot sizes vary, and we navigate setback rules and Kern County fire requirements to build complete, legal second units. Many Shafter homeowners add rental income or house family members in newly built ADUs.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Shafter's Building Department processes permits Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (sometimes closing 12–1 p.m.). We maintain relationships with inspectors and know exactly which codes apply. We handle site plans, compliance documentation, and re-inspections without delays.

Shafter homes range from vintage 1-story bungalows to modern ranch styles with two-car garages. We respect each home's character while meeting current code. Whether you're in a new Gossamer Grove subdivision or a historic neighborhood, we understand the local building rules and community standards.

Most Shafter residents own their homes. Families dominate the area. Parks and schools matter here. We treat every project like it's our own block—because your neighbors matter, and your home's value affects theirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for my bathroom remodel in Shafter?

Yes. Shafter's Building Department requires permits for all electrical, plumbing, and tile work. We handle the full permit process and inspections for you.

How long does it take to build an ADU in Shafter?

Permits typically take 2–4 weeks. Construction depends on size and complexity; expect 3–6 months for a complete ADU from groundbreaking to move-in.

What are Shafter's ADU size limits?

Shafter allows detached and attached ADUs on any residential lot if a primary home exists. Junior ADUs (under 500 square feet) share a bathroom with the main home. Setback and parking rules apply; we review your lot in detail.

Can I hire a contractor if I pull my own permit?

Yes, but we recommend hiring us for permits. We know Shafter's inspector preferences, code quirks, and can avoid costly re-inspection delays.

We typically work Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Special arrangements available for occupied homes during project planning phase.
