Payment Options We Offer
Financing Plans for Qualified Homeowners
We’ve partnered with established lenders who understand ADU construction in Rancho Cucamonga and the Inland Empire. These aren’t generic home-improvement loans repackaged; they’re structured around the actual timeline of an ADU build, with draws that align to inspection milestones rather than arbitrary dates. Most of our Rancho Cucamonga clients who choose financing get a decision within one business day after our initial conversation. We don’t markup lender rates or take a referral fee, so the terms you see are the terms you get.
Major Credit Cards Accepted
For deposits, permit fees, or smaller-scope work like ADU site prep and utility rough-ins, we accept all major credit cards. This works well for Rancho Cucamonga homeowners who want to leverage existing credit lines or card benefits while keeping the project moving. We process cards in our office; you’ll get a receipt with your documented photo record within the hour.
Cash or Check
Some of our clients simply prefer it straightforward. Cash or check payment follows the same milestone schedule as financed projects, with one difference: no lender documentation required. We still provide the written scope, the permit set, and the photo record at every stage. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, your price is locked regardless of how you pay.
Up-Front Written Pricing, Always
Every Ellery ADU Studio project in Rancho Cucamonga starts with a written price before any work begins. Not an estimate that drifts. Not a “call for a quote” runaround. A line-item breakdown with real numbers attached to real scope. Nadia Ellery reviews every quote personally before it leaves our studio. If you’re comparing financing scenarios, that written price is what you plug in, not a moving target.
Simple Application Process
Step 1: Talk to us about your ADU project. Call (909) 506-1121 or come by the studio. We’ll ask about your property in Rancho Cucamonga, your goals for the unit, and your rough budget range. This isn’t a credit check; it’s a conversation.
Step 2: Quick pre-qualify conversation. Based on your project scope and timeline, we’ll connect you with the financing path that fits. For most Rancho Cucamonga homeowners, this means a short phone call with a lender who already understands ADU construction draws. No paperwork avalanche, no weeks of waiting.
Step 3: Choose your plan and lock your price. Once you have terms you like, we finalize the written scope under Haven Standard Clause 1. Your price is fixed. Your build schedule is set. Your photo documentation starts on day one of construction.
The whole process typically takes under a week from first call to signed agreement, though we’re happy to move faster or slower depending on your comfort level. We’ve had Rancho Cucamonga clients go from “just looking” to permit submission in ten days, and others who took two months to compare options. Both are fine. The written price waits for you, not the other way around.

Yes. Many Rancho Cucamonga clients split their ADU project across financing, cash, and card payments depending on what makes sense at each milestone. For example, you might finance the main construction, pay permit fees by card for points, and cover final finishes with cash.
