I interviewed two different individuals for my Documentary. Both of them kind, friendly people, they were very cooperative and frankly wonderful people to talk to. If you are interested in purchasing or finding out more about an ADU, please contact either of these two, or visit their company websites.
Todd Su

Advantage Homes, like many other ADU companies in the Bay Area, receives government contracts to build shelters en masse for those in need. Todd mentioned that his company “use[s] modular hotels, modular apartments […which is] a quicker way to build in a controlled environment”.

Stanley Acton
Stanley Acton is the founder of Acton ADU. Originally planning to have a career in high tech, he studied for it in college. Stanley took a carpentry class in college, and fell in love with the craft. According to Stanley, “After four years, I [talked] to my dad [and] said, “You know, sometimes I just wish I could go back and be a carpenter.” And he said, “You know, I’ve got an idea, Stan, why don’t you go back and be a carpenter?” I said, “Dad, that’s a great idea.” I quit high tech and I went back to be a carpenter, and then after about a year my boss ran out of work. And so I went out on my own. That’s when Acton Construction, […] which eventually became Acton ADU, was formed.”
