ADUs, JADUs, Attached, Detached & More
Accessory dwelling units have become one of the smartest investments San Jose homeowners can make. With California’s progressive ADU legislation and San Jose’s streamlined permitting process, building a backyard unit has never been more accessible.

Home Addition Construction Services in San Jose, CA
Home Office, Rental Opportunities & More
When your family outgrows your home but you love your neighborhood, a home addition is the ideal solution. Adding square footage — whether it’s a new bedroom, expanded living area, sunroom, or second story — allows you to stay in the community you love while gaining the space you need.
Our home addition projects are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing structure, matching architectural style, rooflines, and finishes so the new space feels like it was always part of the home. We handle structural engineering, foundation work, framing, and all interior finishes. San Jose’s diverse housing stock — from Eichler homes in South San Jose to Victorians near downtown — requires a contractor who understands how to work with different building styles, and that’s exactly what we bring to the table.

Temporary Construction Fencing Rentals in San Jose, CA
For Homeowners & Contractors
Active construction sites need proper perimeter security, and our temporary fencing rental service makes it simple. We provide durable, professional-grade fencing panels that keep your job site secure, organized, and private throughout the duration of your project.
Whether you’re a homeowner managing a major remodel or a contractor overseeing multiple phases of construction, our fencing panels create a clean barrier that shields the work area from public view, deters unauthorized access, and helps contain debris. Rentals are flexible — available for short-term renovations or long-duration builds — and we handle delivery, setup, and removal so you can focus on the project itself. It’s a small investment that makes a big difference in site safety and neighborhood courtesy. Get in touch to add temporary fencing to your next project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take in San Jose?
Most kitchen remodels take between 6 and 12 weeks depending on the scope of work, material lead times, and permit requirements. We provide a detailed project timeline during your initial consultation so there are no surprises. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in San Jose?
If your remodel involves structural changes, plumbing relocation, or electrical work, a permit is typically required by the City of San Jose. Our team handles the entire permitting process on your behalf, ensuring your project meets all local building codes. This protects your investment and avoids potential issues when you sell your home.
How much does it cost to build an ADU in San Jose?
ADU construction costs in San Jose generally range from $150,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on size, design complexity, and site conditions. Factors like utility connections, foundation type, and interior finishes all influence the final number. We provide transparent, itemized estimates so you understand exactly where your budget is going.
Can I add a second story to my San Jose home?
In most cases, yes — but it depends on your property’s zoning, structural capacity, and local setback requirements. A second-story addition is an excellent way to add significant square footage without reducing your yard space. We evaluate your home’s foundation and framing during the planning phase to determine feasibility.
What sets Animas Valley Construction apart from other San Jose contractors?
We’re an owner-operated company, which means Daniel Zaragoza is personally involved in every project — not just at the sales stage, but throughout construction. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality, direct communication, and accountability that larger firms often lack. We also prioritize budget-friendly solutions without cutting corners on craftsmanship.
Do you offer financing for remodeling projects?
While we don’t provide direct financing, we work with homeowners to develop phased project plans that align with their budget. Many of our clients use home equity lines of credit, renovation loans, or personal savings to fund their projects. We’re happy to discuss cost-saving strategies during your consultation.
How do I get started with a construction project?
Getting started is simple — call us at 408-629-4047 or fill out our online contact form to schedule a free consultation. We’ll visit your property, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed estimate with no obligation. From there, we’ll guide you through design, permitting, and construction every step of the way.
