Granny's Granny

"Departure came out to our property after the 2013 Build-It-Green tour and talked to us about potential of building an ADU. A year later, we decided to move forward with building an ADU and again, contacted Dan Lajoie.  He came out to our property with the notes and ideas discussed the previous year and was willing to spend a long time discussing our hopes for our ADU.  He was able to take our ideas and create a beautiful space that works perfectly for us and our property.  Throughout the beginning of the process Dan was available to answer our questions, he spent time sharing pictures and showing us ideas as well as meeting with us regularly to look at his progress.  He always took our perspective into account and reworked some of the drafts to ensure we were getting what we wanted; but he also had fantastic ideas that we had not thought of and did a great job inserting his personal character into the project.  Overall, we have been really impressed with Dan's patience and his ability to turn a small space into something so functional and beautiful."
