ADUs built with disciplined planning from the start.
Shining Armor designs and builds accessory dwelling units by combining thoughtful planning, modern tools, and master craftsmanship to create spaces that work beautifully every day.
Small footprint. Big coordination.
An ADU compresses an entire home — structure, systems, storage, and light — into a small footprint, which makes early planning matter even more. Shining Armor takes a more informed approach — combining pre-construction planning, modern documentation tools, and experienced execution — so decisions are clearer and surprises are fewer.

A closer look.
Clear before construction.
Plan
The project starts with feasibility, layout, and how the unit should live day to day, so important decisions are made early, not midstream.
Clarify
Modern documentation and design tools help bring clarity to the project before work begins, making layout, selections, and scope easier to understand early.
Build
Execution is handled with a high standard of craftsmanship and coordinated through a trusted local network of specialty trades.
Built on planning and craft.
Shining Armor is led by Ethan Avgerakis, Founder & Project Director, with 10 years of experience in home improvement, building, and design.
