Flexible Financing for ADU in Moreno Valley
Building an ADU in Moreno Valley is a significant investment, and we don’t believe the payment process should add stress to what is already a complex project. At Ellery ADU Studio Moreno Valley, we’ve structured our financing and payment options to keep your project moving without surprises or delays. Call us at (951) 379-3047 to discuss which approach fits your garage conversion, detached ADU, or interior conversion timeline.
Payment Options We Offer
Financing Plans for Qualified Homeowners
We work with financing partners who understand ADU construction specifically, not just general home improvement lending. These programs typically offer fixed monthly payments spread across the construction period and beyond, with terms that align to how ADUs in Moreno Valley are built: design and permitting first, then construction draws tied to inspection milestones. We don’t quote APRs or approval amounts here because those depend on your credit profile and project scope, but we do walk you through the pre-qualification conversation in about ten minutes during your initial site visit. No hard credit pull until you choose to move forward with a specific program.
Major Credit Cards Accepted
For smaller phases of work, permit fees, or initial design deposits, we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Some clients in Moreno Valley use this for the permitting phase while arranging longer-term financing for construction, or for Junior ADU conversions where the total scope is smaller. We process cards on-site through our standard merchant account; no third-party processing fees passed to you.
Cash and Personal Check
Some homeowners prefer to pay by cash or personal check, particularly those who have already secured a HELOC, cashed investments, or saved specifically for their Moreno Valley ADU project. We accept these without surcharge. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, your written price is your written price regardless of payment method. We do not offer “cash discounts” that hide pricing variability; the number on your signed scope is the number you pay.
Up-Front Written Pricing, Every Time
This is not a financing product, but it is the foundation of how every payment plan works at Ellery ADU Studio Moreno Valley. Before you sign anything or authorize any work, you receive a line-item written quote: design hours, permit expediting, materials, labor, site prep, utility tie-ins, and final inspection coordination. Each line has a price. The total has a price. That total is locked under Clause 5 (No Surprises). Your financing amount, if you use financing, is calculated against this exact number, not an estimate that drifts upward mid-project.
Simple Application Process

Step 1: Talk to us about your Moreno Valley property. Call (951) 379-3047 or schedule through our site. Nadia Ellery or a senior designer walks the lot or existing garage with you, notes setback constraints specific to your Moreno Valley zoning, and identifies any site prep variables that affect pricing.
Step 2: Quick pre-qualification conversation. If financing interests you, we connect you with our lending partners for a soft-pull pre-qualification. This takes ten to fifteen minutes by phone. You’ll know roughly what monthly payment range aligns with your quoted project before you commit to a full application.
Step 3: Choose your plan and lock your scope. Select the financing structure, card payment schedule, or direct payment approach that fits your situation. We sign the scope, lock the price under Haven Standard Clause 1, and begin permit drawings. Your first payment or draw is scheduled only after you have approved permit-ready plans, not before.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we maintain relationships with lenders who specialize in ADU and accessory structure financing, and we guide you through pre-qualification as part of our standard intake process. These programs are designed for construction timelines with inspection-based draw schedules, not retail point-of-sale loans. Call (951) 379-3047 to discuss what structure fits your garage conversion or detached ADU project.
You’ll need proof of income, a recent credit report (we can help you access a free one), and your property’s preliminary title information, which we pull during our site visit. Most Moreno Valley homeowners also bring their most recent tax assessment and any existing mortgage statements. The lender handles the rest; we do not collect application fees. Call (951) 379-3047 and we’ll send you a checklist before your first meeting.
No. Our initial site visit, zoning check, and written line-item quote are free. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you already have in hand from another Moreno Valley ADU contractor. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, the written price we provide is the price you pay if you move forward; the estimate itself costs nothing. Call (951) 379-3047 to schedule.
Yes, when the program terms allow it. Some Moreno Valley clients stack California ADU grant programs, utility rebates, or property tax incentives with private financing; others use a single product. We document which incentives your project qualifies for during permitting, and we adjust your written scope and payment schedule accordingly before construction starts. No retroactive changes. Call (951) 379-3047 to review your specific combination.
