The Seedling ADU Santa Clarita Guarantee
A new home on your lot changes how your family lives, so the work behind it has to hold up. Our guarantee is simple enough to write on a single page and specific enough that you’ll never wonder where you stand. Every ADU, garage conversion, and home addition we build in Santa Clarita is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That covers the structure, the finishes, the materials we installed, and the way we treated your home while the work was happening.
Ben Ortega started Seedling ADU Santa Clarita because he saw too many families get vague promises and surprise invoices. The guarantee exists so you never have to ask “what happens if something’s wrong?” You’ll already know the answer.
What’s Covered
- Workmanship. If anything we built fails because of how it was installed, we return and repair it under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, no debate and no invoice.
- Written pricing. Every project receives a written price before any work begins, and no surprise line items get added after crews arrive.
- Cleanup and home protection. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down on every visit, and you receive a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, so you can verify the condition of your home without walking the site yourself.
- Who’s in your home. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up to every job, which matters when your kids are home from school or your dog is watching from the couch.
- Communication during the build. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, throughout the project. No voicemail trees, no waiting until Monday for an answer about your ADU.
- Product support. We work with Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie materials, so if a manufacturer’s component needs attention, we coordinate the fix instead of leaving you to sort it out alone.
Our Satisfaction Promise
Here’s how it works if something isn’t right. You call us and describe the issue. Ben or a senior project lead schedules a walkthrough, usually within the week. We look at the problem together, agree on what “done right” means for that specific area, and then we schedule the crew. You don’t chase us. We don’t argue about whether it’s covered. The 365-Day Done Right Promise says if it’s not done right, we make it right, and that means we show up with tools and a plan, not a list of excuses.
We’ve had homeowners in Valencia catch a misaligned cabinet door three months after move-in. We fixed it. We’ve had a Stevenson Ranch family notice a drywall seam settling differently than they expected. We repaired and repainted. The point isn’t that mistakes never happen. The point is that our name is on the permit, the plans, and the finished building, and Ben Ortega doesn’t put his name on work he wouldn’t stand behind.
Santa Clarita summers are hot and dry, and our winters bring temperature swings that test every joint and seal. If the first full year of seasons reveals an issue, you’re still covered. That’s exactly why the promise runs 365 days from completion, not 30.
Licensed & Insured Backing
A guarantee is only as strong as the company behind it. Seedling ADU Santa Clarita is licensed and insured, and we’re independently owned and operated as part of the Cedarwell family of companies. That means every project carries the Cedarwell Care Promise alongside our own guarantees: shoe covers and drop cloths inside the home, pet-safe products where there is a choice, a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, and a live person available by phone 24/7.
Licensing means the city of Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County can inspect our work, our permits, and our processes. Insurance protects your property and our crew if something unexpected happens on a build. Together, they’re the difference between a written promise and one that actually has teeth. You get both, on every project, without having to ask.
Why We Put It in Writing
Talk is cheap in construction. Anyone can say they care about quality. What most builders won’t do is hand you a document that says what happens when the work falls short. We do that before the first day of construction, because you can’t plan a new home on your lot around handshakes and hopeful language. You plan it around commitments.
When you call (661) 362-8059, you’ll reach a live person who can walk you through the guarantee, the written pricing, and the build process for your specific lot. Estimates are free, and the conversation will tell you more than any webpage can. But the guarantee itself stays simple: a new home on your lot, built with care, and if it’s not done right, we make it right.
