What San Jose Homeowners Say About Fielding ADU San Jose
Reviews tell you what a contract can’t. They show whether the crew showed up when they said they would, whether the price stayed where it was written, and whether the work actually held up. We ask every San Jose homeowner we build for to tell us straight what worked and what didn’t. What follows are recent comments from ADU, garage conversion, and room addition projects across the city. They’re specific because the work is specific.
Recent Reviews
“Fielding ADU converted our detached garage in Willow Glen into a 490-square-foot one-bedroom ADU. Reed came out, walked the lot, and told us the setback variance would take about six weeks with the city. It took five. The written price covered everything, including the dry rot repair we discovered mid-project.”
Henry L. – Willow Glen, San Jose
“We priced three ADU builders in San Jose before calling Fielding. They were the only ones who put the full number in writing before the first inspection. No allowances, no ‘we’ll see when we open the walls.’ Our prefab unit from Abodu went in on schedule, and the crew cleaned the site every single day.”
Daniela V. – Berryessa, San Jose
“The room addition behind our house in Almaden Valley came in exactly at the written price. Not a dollar over. Reed’s crew framed it square, passed every inspection the first time, and finished two days early. They wore uniforms, they answered questions, and they never left a mess.”
Yolanda R. – Almaden Valley, San Jose
“We built a 700-square-foot ADU in Evergreen with Fielding using a conventional build and James Hardie siding. The permit process in San Jose is not fast, and Reed walked us through every step of it. What impressed me most was the one thing that went wrong. A small crack in the drywall showed up after move-in. They came back the next week and fixed it. No charge. No argument. That’s the written guarantee doing its job.”
Amanda L. – Evergreen, San Jose
“Our garage conversion in Cambrian Park turned into a two-month build, and the written price never moved. The crew was on site at 7:15 every morning. They showed us the permit card, the inspection schedule, and the line-item pricing before we signed the contract. When a sub tried to charge us for something outside the scope, Reed shut it down before it reached our ears.”
Henry L. – Cambrian Park, San Jose
“I called Fielding on a Sunday night expecting voicemail. A real person picked up and scheduled a site visit for that Wednesday. We ended up building a Dvele modular ADU in the Rose Garden area. The build itself was clean, the finish work is sharp, and when I call with a question, I still get a live person. That matters more than I expected it to.”
Daniela V. – Rose Garden, San Jose
Why Customers Trust Us
Every review above points to the same few things. The price is in writing before any work starts, so there is no surprise invoice at the end. The crew is background-checked and uniformed, so you know who is on your property. And the work is covered by the Garrison Standard: a written one-year guarantee that says if something fails, we come back and fix it at no charge. No fine print, no call center, no chasing a warranty department. Those are the terms we have built on since 2006, and they apply to every ADU, garage conversion, and room addition we build in San Jose. Reed Calloway still answers the phone when a homeowner has a question.
