We had SQFT Studios design and build an ADU for my mother-in-law who happily lived there until she died last May.  Eli Green and his team did a terrific job, and we were very pleased with the final product.  We currently are making the unit freely available to an immigrant couple from Serbia who are transitioning to a new life as US citizens.  We also like that the unit can be used by relatives and friends when they visit.  We couldn't be more pleased.

Eli and his crew changed my daughter’s dilapidated, one car garage into a light and lovely home for me. They gave me what I wanted and are easy to work with. Plus they are great people.

SQFT Studios created a wonderful stand-alone addition to our Portland residence—a quiet space to read a book, paint a picture, or play the ukulele. Eli’s team was great to work with and their workmanship was impeccable.

We had a great experience working with SQFT on our backyard detached ADU. Eli and his team are very knowledgeable about the design and construction process. Eli was very thorough and thoughtful in the design process, making lots of suggestions but also always taking our requests seriously and finding creative ways to solve problems within limited real estate. On the construction side, SQFT has good subcontractor relationships and high construction standards. As with any full-scale new build, there are always hiccups along the way but Eli and his team were receptive to our feedback and followed through on everything. We would recommend SQFT for anyone looking for a design-build company with a specialty in ADUs and other efficient structures.

The SQFT Studios team did a fantastic job on our project.  They came into the project with some really good ideas but listened to our needs before finalizing the plan.  The construction team was excellent!  Having a construction site in one's backyard can be stressful but the SQFT team did a great job of staying organized and keeping our backyard and our basement clean.  We were especially pleased with the PM/Lead Carpenter Marc who always kept us apprised of daily and weekly activities and never failed to promptly respond to a texted question, even late on a Saturday night.  Thank you, Marc, and thank you SQFT team!

Eli, and his team at SQFT Studios, helped us turn our 100 year old Northwest cottage into a forever dream home that we can build the next chapter of our lives in. His collaborative and thoughtful approach combined with his excellent attention to detail, outside-of-the-box thinking, and practical know-how were essential to making this project a success. Eli is very knowledgeable about how to use technology and green building strategies to make our home more modern and energy efficient. He was patient and supportive as we navigated the multitude of decisions involved in a home remodel, and we are really happy with how everything came together in the end. We would highly recommend Eli for your next project!

Warning: this may be a long review: My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Eli Green and crew. One really big *green* flag for me is when I can see that the person I'm working with LOVES their work. This is definitely true for Eli. He loves his work. He loves the people he is working with and he wants to make something that they love. Eli is clearly confident in his designs and the workmanship of his crew and it shows through. We talked to Eli a couple of times before deciding to work with them for an ADU in our backyard. There was never any hard sell. It was easy to talk about the costs. He only wanted us to sign on if it was going to work for us. He answered every question with transparency. I never felt like I was bothering him with all my weird little questions. SQFT was able to handle everything--permitting, covenants with the county, subcontracting, etc, etc. It was a one-stop shop, which was really appealing and reassuring to us. We were doing all this planning during COVID times when supply and pricing was changing a lot and this made my husband and I re-think the project. Eli was 100% willing to work with us on value engineering (while keeping the construction very high quality, long-lasting and energy efficient). In the end, we decided to invest in something different than the ADU, which was a DIFFICULT decision, not the least of which was how attached we were to SQFT, their design, and general wonderfulness. In fact, we haven't ditched the idea of doing it at a later date. Even though we don't have a picture of the finished product to show, we really wanted to show our appreciation by writing a glowing review. We were happy with everything that was in SQFT's control (they had no control over the skyrocketing prices and the slowness of the permitting office :/ ) You couldn't go wrong by using this team. Highly recommend.
