I'm never going to be doing any of this, but I always watch your videos anyways. You have a lot of good information.

[@HektorCastillo]

Miguel thank you 🙏 for the comment 😆

[@888-bad-junk4]

Great video..👏👏 I reached out to a concrete professional on my first project and was mislead..😕 I asked around and finally got all the info passed my inspections and moved on to the next phase.. this video sums up all the process we did.. make sure not to skip Hektors steps he explains them well. If you do, you will delay your projects and add uncessary costs by having to do it over again..

[@HektorCastillo]

Thank you for the kind comment 👍👍

[@FredSweezerSr]

Thanks for the information on footing!!!

[@susana5052]

Really helpful post!👍🙏🏻💖

[@alexitoenvivo6091]

Great video very informational

[@TaniaDTV]

Hi. Thank you you have a lot of great information. I just got you $20 ADU guide and joined the app. Can you please explain you said while the plans are being approved I should verify if the garage has footings. Doesn’t footing existing or proposed has to be in the plans specified already? My garage( Long Beach) has concrete on two sides and one side is on my neighbors property, so I have only one side to dig, any advice please?

[@AA-eb7sd]

Good vid on footing. That's what i have to do all around the garage. Question, do you know on the side wall between the neighbor. Do I need minimum 3 feet distance in order to have windows on that side? Let me know. Thanks

[@barbraclampitt3527]

I've been viewing your videos, really great information. We're trying to verify if we have a continuous footing for our project… would a city inspector come out to our home to guide us how to verify for such a footing? Thank you.

[@Clymiedallen]

Thanks Hektor 😊

[@HektorCastillo]

My pleasure!

[@AT-po5vs]

How many feet apart is the rebar that's 90°. I'm doing it myself and your videos are very helpful

[@AJ-gs5jk]

Thank you

[@Hizenbird]

Not sure I understand your last comment.... "the same company can do all those things at the same time...". But do I get a quote for everything and then just hire them for the footings if I can do hold downs, and framing, shear walls, etc?

[@sunshine1450]

Thank you there are so many scammers out here in california

[@HektorCastillo]

Hello sunshine I'll look at your comments and reply to all of them.

[@ArunReddyKandoor]

Thank you for your videos. Wondering how much would it cost to get the footings, framing and shear walls set up for a garage conversion.

[@HektorCastillo]

Arun a fair price would be $10,000. Talk to lots of contractors, that's the only way to find a deal.

[@Chris_87BC]

if footing is present in all the sides, then that would be a good saving😃

[@idcwebmaster]

How deep is the required footing for Los Angeles in the previous garage door?

[@dannychairez9925]

Did you have to fill in a new slab with concrete on top

[@paxtenamelia3631]

Great Video Hektor! Which contractor did you use for the footing? I’m on your site but there’s two on the list. Did you bring the deputy inspector or he did? Thank you!!

[@HektorCastillo]

Amelia thank you for the comment. A link of this video will be under his profile. I'll update the website shortly

[@888-bad-junk4]

Paxten, from my experience I have done this 3 times... you hire the deputy inspector and you pay them ($80/hr.😬)To stand there and wacth(so waist no time).. its a conflict of interest for the g.c. pays the deputy inspector.

[@MiguelAngelIriarte]

Great video. It says Natalie NO DESIGN SERVICES. What does that mean? There are countless Architects (like myself) and other designers that count on this for a living to pay their bills/ the rent/ the mortgage and someone is out their to work for FREE. That ADU designer needs integrity. Please explain the FREE part. Thank you Hektor

[@successfulMillennial]

I only need 12" footings where garage door is and on one other 20' wall...what should i expect to be charged?

[@rubenruiz418]

H My property has 3 Footings. I need the footing where the Garage Door was. How much would something like that cost? My linear footage is 16 ft. For the footing.

[@sr9253]

How can they check the existing footing if there is concrete next to the wall?

[@HektorCastillo]

The city inspector will probably ask you to dig from the inside of the garage. It all depends on what the inspector what's you to do 👍

[@gloriaargueta9908]

I’m doing my ADU in Sacramento, California and I’m not having any luck. Starting with the plans and design. Any suggestions?

[@HektorCastillo]

Get your plans approved, then get estimates from different contractors. With a set of plans in your hands you have control of who you work with.

[@101realtor]

Check out AE drafting. I just got my permits with them in Sacramento. They did a pretty good job and submit docs to the city for you for the permits. Took me about 3 months to get final permits to start.

[@Chris_87BC]

I am also working on an ADU in Sacramento, and I contacted *Reova* for the design and for submitting and getting the plan approved. It took 2 months but now I have everything ready to start construction. If you live in the city of Sacramento, they might be approved plans; if this is the case, only pay the architect to do the paperwork with the city.

[@gabegarcia8889]

@@Chris_87BC what do they charge for plans only I'm in sacramento also?

[@ricardosilva8106]

What do you think of a attached single car garage adu conversion?

[@HektorCastillo]

As long as you meet the setbacks I think it's a great 💡 idea 🏠

[@sergiovasquez5600]

Can you send me a link where I can order your ADU GUIDE BOOK? Thank you

[@HektorCastillo]

Sergio this is the link. The guide is free to use 👍 www.heekk.com/adumasterguide

[@eschrader]

6:24 aren't you supposed to twist the rebar as you insert it to ensure it mixes?

[@HektorCastillo]

The epoxy is mixed in front of the inspector prior to installing the rebar.

[@norcoauctions]

thanks for saying real tor , and not reel uh tur

[@hugoosoy8853]

that addition is to close to your neighbor?

[@HektorCastillo]

For an existing garage to ADU the setbacks are grandfathered in. If it was a new construction ADU the homeowner will have to follow 2023 setback guidelines and they are extremely strict.

[@doraray9964]

The sound of your video is no good...but thank you for your info

[@dustina6261]

wth is a adu? Been in building nearly 20yrs and never heard of this

[@liaoweien]

[@HektorCastillo]

Mike hello 👋 New videos have better audio
