Our office and fabrication facility is in San Leandro, California.
We don't have a full range of models on display, but we do have a showcase model to get a sense of the space. Give us a call at (510) 606-1706 and a customer service representative will make an appointment for you to visit us over in San Leandro and get a tour of our facilities.
Our customer service hours are 9am to 5pm PST Monday through Friday. Excluding federal holidays.
We started in 2020 while most of the world was needing extra space to live comfortably. We've seen some great success since then, and we continue to focus on providing extra space to work, live and play.
We comfortably serve all of California and Oregon. Occasionally, we get inquiries from other parts of the country, and we discuss those projects individually to make sure we're a good fit for the project.
We have installed units throughout California. If you'd like to visit one of our client's units, please work with a Wellmade representative to organize a visit. We'll check to make sure it's not disruptive to thier busy schedule.
We use traditional construction methods that meet or exceed the quality standards you're used to; but we've engineered the process to do most of the work in our warehouse. We make panels for our prefab ADUs and prefab sheds that fit together like a puzzle on your property, thereby minimizing disruption on-site. You can learn more about our process by watching this video
All of our panels are made in California with locally sourced materials.
Absolutely! Most of our clients have something custom to fit their individual needs. There are some limitations due to our prefab process, but your sales representative will be best suited to work out those details with you.
We do the work so you don't have to. Our customers say it's the easiest home project they've ever done. Our team of project managers make sure that there's nothing you need to worry about.
Not at all. We're planning to do everything for you with a full turnkey service. That means we can remove an existing structure, connect utilities, and process permits. If, of course, you'd like to do anything yourself with your own contractors, we can remove those details from our scope and quote.
Not really, no. We work closely with you to make sure we understand the project before getting started. Many of our clients go on vacation while we perform the install. However, it would be best to be available on the first day of installation to confirm placement and location.
Our prefab process streamlines installation and we can usually complete the project faster than others. If you have a tight timeline, be sure to communicate it to your sales representative so they can work with you on timing.
Our prefab sheds take about 5-9 days to install, and we usually book those appointments 2-3 months after entering an agreement. Our prefab ADUs take about 4-6 weeks to install, and we book those appointments out 8 months.
We don't offer financing ourselves, but we partner with Renofi to help our clients spread out payments and make their project more affordable.
That's why we do what we do. Our system was designed with those hard-to-reach spaces in mind. Each of our panels can fit through any standard doorway, and everything is hand-carried. If you're getting turned away by other companies due to access constraints, let us know. We love a challenge!
We certainly can, but we usually don't have to. After an intitial introductory call, your sales representative will perform an Virtual Site Visit where you will walk around your property while on a video meeting, and we'll record it. If we see any reason to go to the site ourselves, we'll send someone. But 95% of the time a virtual site visit is sufficient.
Nope. Our prefab panelized process eliminates the need for cranes. Each of our panels can fit through any standard doorway and are carried by hand to the installation site.
You’ve got enough to think about. The unit should be the least of your concerns, which is why we offer a 5-year extended warranty starting from the date of project completion. This covers structural defects resulting directly from our construction work and certain cosmetic issues like:
Damage from vandalism, misuse, natural disasters, or extreme weather is not covered.
Manufacturer Warranties
Any equipment purchased from Wellmade is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, not Wellmade’s. These warranties will be passed on to you as allowed by law.
ADUs typically have a bathroom and kitchen. A home office shed is a single-purpose space that doesn't have plumbing or appliances.
Usually, no. Each prefab shed is designed to not need a permit. However, some jurisdictions may require it. We recommend familiarizing yourself with your city's requirements. Our sales professionals can help with the research.
Each of our sheds have an all-included price from foundation to finishes. We've put the fully-baked price on the website because we know you don't like surprises, and neither do we. The only things that will change the price you see on the website will be 1) any quality-of-life upgrades to make it more comfortable, and 2) any site conditions that aren't standard.
Absolutely! Each of our models can be mirrored.
Yes! Our pier foundation system makes building on a slope incredibly easy. Take a look at what some of our customers have done in our project gallery.
We use fiberglass insulation in the walls (R13) and roof (R19), with rigid insulation in the floor (R12).
Ordinarily we use a buried concrete pier system. We do this to allow for building on an uneven area while ensuring that your studio shed is perfectly level.
You bet. Each backyard studio comes with interior outlets, exterior outlet, and lighting inside and outside.
We sure can! Adding a mini split to a shed office is one of our most popular upgrades.
Put simply...everything! We handle the fabrication, installation, foundation, and finishes. We can even prep the site or tear down an existing structure if it helps make your life easier. Our whole goal is to make this the easiest home project you've ever had.
We've simplified the color choices of our studio sheds to make it easy to mix and match. However, if you don't find the colors you want, let us know and we'll work with you to make it just right.
Each city and county has different requirements for setbacks, and we recommend understanding what those are for your area. We need a minimum of 18 inches from any major obstructions to accomplish the installation.
