I would highly recommend Golden State Buildings to anyone if you’re thinking of purchasing a shed. About 3 months ago I purchased a 10×12 and I am very pleased with it. They just delivered another bigger one at 10×18 and I am again very pleased. The crew at Golden State are great and answered all

I would highly recommend Golden State Buildings to anyone if you’re thinking of purchasing a shed. About 3 months ago I purchased a 10×12 and I am very pleased with it. They just delivered another bigger one at 10×18 and I am again very pleased. The crew at Golden State are great and answered all my questions. They came out to my house to see if they can maneuver the larger one through the alley and gate because I have an opening of only 13 feet. I had called other companies that were closer to where I live but they wouldn’t send someone out they wanted pictures but it was a really tight fit that’s when I contacted Golden State and they said they would send someone out the next day. I am happy that the others didn’t come out because my experience with Golden State was great. Thanks to Vernon, and delivery crew and the crew I didn’t meet that build the sheds I am very happy with them and the prices were very reasonable. Thanks.
My family and I have bought four of their buildings of various shapes and sizes. We have always has exceptional service and the actual product is priced right and built strong. I would proudly refer anyone to this place! When Victor dropped off the last one it was really hard to get it to fit

My family and I have bought four of their buildings of various shapes and sizes. We have always has exceptional service and the actual product is priced right and built strong. I would proudly refer anyone to this place! When Victor dropped off the last one it was really hard to get it to fit and he helped me move some beams that were in the way! Way to go guys this is how lifelong customers are made.
The custom onsite build went perfect! 12’x20’x14′ Barn Tall is quality & precision. We’re already making plans for the next one. God Bless.

He gets out of work at 4 and wanted to stop by but they close at 5 and it’s a long drive from his work but Vernon stayed after hours and waited for him. My dad speaks Spanish & they did their best to make him understand. I have nothing but good things to say about them! They are amazing!

I am just completely humbled and grateful for Golden State Buildings helping to build a part of my little dream. I had a workshop from a commercial big box store on order, with a promised delivery and install date. No shed, no delivery, no call, no show. Order cancelled. Called Golden State Buildings, turned out they had a bigger and better shed that could be customized, built, and installed in three weeks. In a mere Two weeks, David & Cameron arrived on time with great attitudes, as well as being both presentable and personable. The two man crew knocked out the build in three hours, plus there were a few extras like cement blocks under pressure treated wood to keep the shed off the ground I didn’t know was included. The shed is beautiful, and exactly what I need for my workshop. I cannot truly express the gratitude I have for Dion, David, Cameron, and the rest of the Golden State Buildings staff for getting my little project done so efficiently and for a GREAT price. Plus, they built my barbers Barn years back, and Duane at Hi-Life Barbershop couldn’t say enough about Golden State Buildings, and that makes this a pretty solid two for one referral. Thank you again.

I had a great experience with Golden State Buildings, from start to finish. Vernon was knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. He set up a site visit to determine what we needed to do prior to the build, and finalize the details. Perfect communication prior to the install (we had our shed built on site), the build crew was polite and professional, and they left the site all cleaned up. The shed itself is just what we wanted. After researching sheds, we chose Golden State Buildings because they are able to build on site, and unlike some shed deliveries, they include the roof and floor. The shed is well assembled and ready for use. I highly recommend the company, both for their customer service and their product. I would use them again if I have the need.
Amazing staff and great service 100% recommend when getting a shed they work with exactly what you need! Thank you guys for the amazing work on my shed! ????

From the moment that I first met with Vernon and Dion, I was at ease. They let me take my time deciding exactly what I wanted in the design and helped with the different options. My beautiful shed was finished and delivered in no time at all and it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! The quality was exceptional and cost was well within budget! I couldn’t be happier! Oh, the delivery guy had some major skills too! I don’t know how he did it but the shed was set perfectly on my cement pad! Thank You Golden State Buildings!

He then provided a turnkey project by taking care of all permits, etc. When building was started there were no delays and his crew worked diligently to complete the job, in a timely manner. All crew members were polite and knew his job. The shed was completed on time, within budget and job site was left clean.
The family run business works as a well oiled machine. Always pleasant, considerate and busy. This is the second time in 12 years we’ve used Golden State Buildings and would use them again if needed. I would recommend them highly. I was well pleased with the outcome.

We had Golden State Buildings design, fabricate and install a custom clubhouse for our grandchildren. Golden State Buildings listened to our needs, were courteous and friendly. They delivered a reasonably priced and quality product and installed it in a professional manner. I was impressed with the final product and would definitely use them again.

First Community Mortgage offers financing options for Accessory Dwelling Units with clear terms and a simple application process. Choose from loan plans to find one that fits your project and budget, making it easier to move forward with your ADU build. Request a quote to begin building and financing your ADU!
Building an ADU can offer many benefits for you and your neighborhood. These types of housing are flexible and can serve many purposes over time.
1. Preserves Neighborhood Character It provides expanded housing options in a way that does not alter the character of existing neighborhoods.
2. Generates Extra Income Homeowners can use ADUs to create an additional source of rental income, whether they lease out the main residence or the unit itself. This income can help offset mortgage payments, reduce financial pressure, and offer more flexibility for future planning.
3. Maximizes Land Use ADUs allow for more living space without the need to purchase new property. This makes them a smart choice for growing families, multigenerational households, or anyone looking to make better use of the space they already own.
4. Supports Multi-Generational Living While small homes can help people enter the housing market or downsize to a more manageable home, ADU’s can uniquely provide the benefit of separate living space for friends, family members, and caregivers while keeping them close by. These are often called a “mother-in-law” suite.
5. Eco-Friendly Housing Option Many ADUs are designed with sustainability in mind. They can be built using energy-efficient systems, low-impact construction practices, and eco-friendly materials. Their smaller footprint naturally reduces energy consumption, making them a smart choice for those looking to lower their environmental impact and embrace greener living.
Yes! ADUs are legal across California. Local rules can vary by county, but we’ve gathered everything you need to help you get started. Check out our article on ADU requirements in California to learn the rules in your area. Contact us today!
It depends on your goals! Building an ADU is typically more affordable, faster, and can increase your property’s value or generate rental income. Buying a house gives you more space and independence, but comes with a bigger price tag. If you already own property, an ADU can be a smart way to expand without the cost of moving.
A modular home is a larger, prefabricated house built in sections and assembled on-site, requiring full permits and utilities.
An ADU is a smaller living space built on the same property as an existing home, often used for guests or rentals. ADUs are more affordable and easier to permit than modular homes.
In short, modular homes are full-sized homes, while ADUs are smaller, added spaces.
The cost of an ADU depends on factors like size, layout, and custom features. Ready to get started? Request a free quote to see what your custom ADU will cost.
See it before you build it. We use digital tools to place your selected ADU model directly onto an image of your property, so you can visualize exactly how it will look and fit in your space.
Permits Included
Navigating the local permitting process can be overwhelming, but we’ve got you covered. Every ADU we sell includes all required permits and permit fees so there are no surprises.
Multiple Floor Plans
From compact layouts to spacious two-bedroom models, we offer a range of ADU floor plans. Our team will walk you through each option, so you can find the right fit.
Turn your backyard into something more. From private guest suites to rental-ready studios or peaceful home offices, Golden State Buildings crafts high-quality ADUs designed for comfort, style, and lasting value.
