Glickman Design Build offers a range of services centered around accessory dwelling units (ADUs), guiding clients through every phase of the process — from initial concept to completed construction. Their team works closely with homeowners to develop ADU designs that reflect individual needs and preferences, making the planning process a collaborative one.

Permitting and regulatory compliance is a significant part of any ADU project. Glickman Design Build's team is familiar with local building codes and works to secure the necessary approvals, helping to keep the process on track and avoid common regulatory hurdles.

When it comes to construction, Glickman Design Build handles a variety of ADU types. Whether the project involves a detached ADU, a basement conversion, or an attic transformation, their craftsmen work with quality materials and aim to deliver a functional, well-finished living space. They serve homeowners looking for a granny flat builder, an in-law suite builder, or a backyard cottage builder — covering a broad spectrum of accessory dwelling unit needs.

Sustainability and Multigenerational Living

Glickman Design Build incorporates sustainability considerations into their ADU construction approach. Their designs may include energy-efficient features, green building materials, and environmentally conscious practices intended to reduce a home's overall carbon footprint.

ADUs are increasingly popular among families looking to accommodate aging parents or adult children under the same property while maintaining independent living spaces. Glickman Design Build focuses on creating layouts that support multigenerational living, with attention to accessibility and privacy for all occupants.

Rental Income and Investment Potential

For homeowners interested in generating rental income, Glickman Design Build can help design ADUs with potential renters in mind. A well-designed accessory dwelling unit can add value to a property while providing a consistent income stream.

They also offer ADU remodeling and renovation services for existing units that need updating. Whether the goal is improved aesthetics, better functionality, or both, their team can assess and revitalize older ADU spaces.

Additionally, Glickman Design Build provides real estate investment consultation for those considering ADUs as part of a broader property investment strategy. This includes guidance on budgeting, property selection, and approaches to maximizing return on investment through ADU rental.

As an experienced ADU contractor and ADU builder, Glickman Design Build covers the full scope of accessory dwelling unit projects, making them a practical option for homeowners in the planning stages of an ADU build or renovation.

"We are about 2 years out from an addition, roof, and siding. Everything they built is still sound and in working order. John pulled a rabbit out of a hat getting this job done during Covid. Good communication. I would use them again."

"We contacted Russ Glickman because we were impressed with a renovation that his firm had done for an associate. We were particularly interested in his expertise in making homes accessible but stylish. Russ responded to our call in a timely manner and we had a very good meeting with him and his employees. They were genial, they asked what we wanted, and had many suggestions. We liked their ideas and contracted with them to do some initial designs. We give them extra credit because we were not completely sure what we wanted, so they came back with a broad variety of options and price points. The solutions were innovative, attractive and presented with high quality illustrations. The pricing was similar to other groups we spoke with. In the end, we didnt contract with them for a final design because we changed our mind on what we wanted; but we recommend them."

"Great reviews for big jobs. But do NOT use this firm for a smaller job. Russ Glickman substitutes shoddy materials, sub-contractors who don't do the work specified. If we had been out on our deck when the part of the roof fell off that was improperly attached with the wrong kind of fastening we might have been killed. Other violations of the contract. An inspector and the roof contractor who fixed the roof both wrote opinions that the fastening used could not hold the weight of the roof. We picked him due to great reviews and how pleasant he was when trying to get our business. Again, for smaller jobs, watch out."

"Glickman DesignBuild did a fantastic job on our addition. We redid our kitchen expanding out and making a great room as well as adding a screened porch. The entire process was excellent. The initial design work was stressful given the costs of what we wanted versus what we could afford. However, once we settled on a plan, the process was incredibly smooth. Our project manager was Justin Wigfield who was amazing. He was always available and dealt with any of our concerns immediately. The subcontractors were all wonderful. Everyone worked long hours and things moved along quickly the entire process did require 6 months although everything was essentially done in about 4 months. Things were always left clean and organized and the entire process was as stress free as something like this could be. I can not be happier with the outcome - we love our new room and porch and patio."
