Contact Seedling ADU Austin – Free ADU Estimate in Austin
Call us at (254) 615-3842 for a free ADU estimate in Austin. When you call, you’ll reach a live coordinator who listens first, asks a few questions about your lot and what you’re hoping to build, and connects you with our local team. There’s no hard sell and no pressure. We’re available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Closed Saturdays.
What Happens When You Call
Here’s the full process, from the first phone call to the day we hand you the keys.
Step 1: You call (254) 615-3842. A live coordinator answers, takes down your address, and asks what kind of ADU you’re considering: a backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or something attached to the main house. They’ll also ask about your timeline and budget range so we can point the conversation in the right direction.
Step 2: We schedule your site assessment. One of our Austin team members comes to your property, walks the lot, checks setbacks and access, and talks through what’s actually possible on your specific parcel. This is where we look at utility connections, drainage, and any trees or easements that might shape the design.
Step 3: You receive a written line-item estimate. Before any work starts, you get a written price that breaks down every phase of the project. No verbal ballparks that drift later. The price we write is the price you plan around, and we explain it line by line so nothing hides in the fine print.
Step 4: We build, and we leave your property clean. Our crew follows the Cedarwell Care Promise on every job: shoe covers and drop cloths inside the house, quiet tools when the kids are asleep, pet-safe products where there’s a choice, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. You know exactly what to expect from day one.
Why Austin Homeowners Call Us First
Families across Austin, Round Rock, and the surrounding Hill Country choose Seedling ADU because of how we handle the details. Here’s what sets the experience apart:
- Written price before any work starts. Every Seedling ADU project comes with a line-item written estimate before a single tool touches your property. If a change comes up mid-project, we explain the updated price before moving forward, so there are no surprise invoices at the end.
- The Cedarwell Care Promise. We protect your home the way we’d protect our own. Shoe covers and drop cloths inside, quiet tools during nap time, pet-safe products where there’s a choice, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Your floors stay clean and your family stays safe.
- Local knowledge of Austin’s ADU rules. Austin’s accessory dwelling unit regulations changed meaningfully in recent years, and setbacks, lot coverage, and impervious cover limits vary neighborhood by neighborhood. We work through those details with you, including what the City of Austin requires for permits and inspections.
- Independently owned and operated. Seedling ADU Austin is a local business that works to the Cedarwell Care Promise. We’re part of a national family of brands, which means the standards behind the work are consistent and the guarantee is real, but the team on your lot is your neighbor, not a rotating crew from another state.
Our Service Area Around Austin
We serve homeowners across the greater Austin metro. Our core area includes Austin, Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Kyle, Taylor, Elgin, Bastrop, Shady Hollow, Jollyville, Lockhart, and Camp Swift. If you’re just outside these areas, call us anyway at (254) 615-3842 and we’ll let you know what’s possible. Our Austin team covers the full metro, and we’re happy to talk through your location even if you don’t see your neighborhood listed.
Frequently Asked Questions – Booking & Estimates
These are the questions we hear most often from Austin homeowners before they book a free estimate.
Yes, the site assessment and written estimate are free. You pay nothing to have our team walk your lot, check setbacks and utility access, and talk through ADU options that fit your property. Call (254) 615-3842 and we’ll get you scheduled.
We serve the entire Austin metro and can typically schedule your site assessment within a few days of your call. The exact timing depends on your neighborhood and our current project load, but our coordinator will give you a firm date when you call. Call (254) 615-3842 for current availability.
No, we don’t charge extra for site assessments booked during our standard hours. Our phone hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We’re closed Saturdays. If you need to talk through your project outside those windows, leave a message and we’ll call you back during business hours.
It helps if you know your lot size or can find it on your property tax record, plus a rough idea of what you want: a detached backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or an attached addition. Knowing your budget range helps us point you toward options that make sense. But don’t worry if you’re starting from zero. That’s why the estimate is free.
We’ll walk you through payment options when you receive your written estimate. The estimate itself costs nothing. Call (254) 615-3842 and our coordinator will explain everything during your first conversation.
