According to an article by the National Institute of Health (NIH), Aztec legend suggests that Montezuma plotted his “revenge” post-mortem, against all tourists or invaders in his region, by gifting them with near-fatal diarrhea.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) gained significant popularity between 2020 and 2025, especially in California and San Diego. Multiple factors contributed to this growth. Regulatory changes, including state laws such as AB 68 and AB 881, reduced zoning restrictions and streamlined permitting processes. These legal shifts made it easier for homeowners to add secondary units to their properties.
San Diego County data shows a large increase in ADU activity. Permits rose from 1,150 in 2020 to 3,991 in 2024, a 247 percent increase. Completed ADU units grew by 480 percent during the same period. This reflects strong local adoption driven by housing shortages and new incentive programs, including the ADU Bonus Program.
Reports covering national and global markets confirm the trend. One study values the ADU market at 3.3 billion dollars in 2023, projecting growth to 10.6 billion by 2030. Another report places the global ADU market at 18 billion dollars in 2024, with an expected rise to 43.35 billion by 2034. Industry publications describe ADUs as a growing solution for multigenerational living, rental income, and flexible housing needs.
Between 2020 and 2025, ADUs transitioned from a niche concept to a mainstream housing strategy, supported by policy changes, economic pressures, and increasing demand for adaptable residential space.

Yes — you can reach $900k/year, but not at the beginning.
With the path you’re starting from (a $5k startup, small projects, new license), hitting $900k/year is absolutely possible, but it requires scaling steps, not day-one results.
Below is the most realistic breakdown.
✅ What’s Absolutely Achievable
Many small contractors start solo and grow to $750k–$1.5M revenue within 3–6 years if they scale correctly.
Fence companies, millwork shops, and small GC operations routinely hit these numbers once they add staff and take commercial jobs.
You’re in a trade where revenue scales FAST once you grow capacity.
✅ Year-by-Year Realistic Growth Path to $900k
📌 Year 1 — Survival & Learning
-
Revenue: $80k–$180k
-
Work type: residential fences, small carpentry, small TI
-
You’re mostly solo
-
Money goes back into tools, truck, insurance
👉 Focus: cash flow + reputation
📌 Year 2 — Expansion
-
Revenue: $180k–$350k
-
Bring a helper or part-time worker
-
Better insurance, more tools
-
Start bidding small commercial or HOA work
👉 Focus: systems + repeat clients
📌 Year 3 — Company
-
Revenue: $350k–$600k
-
2–3 workers
-
Larger jobs ($25k–$75k range)
-
Consider renting a small shop if doing millwork
👉 Focus: become reliable + fast
📌 Year 4–5 — Serious Contractor
-
Revenue: $600k–$1.2M
-
4–6 workers + subs
-
Capable of 2–3 projects at once
-
Commercial jobs ($80k–$250k each)
👉 This is when $900k/year is realistic.
🧠Why $900k/year is realistic in your trade
👉 Fencing example
A 3-man crew can complete about $12k–$18k per week of fencing.
Over 45 working weeks = $540k–$810k per crew.
👉 Millwork / TI example
One commercial millwork contract can easily be $150k–$700k.
Two medium-sized commercial jobs = $300k–$600k alone.
You only need:
-
One strong crew
-
One commercial client
-
Consistent bidding
To hit $900k/year.
⚠️ Reality Check
To reach $900k/year you must eventually pay for:
-
Shop space (if doing millwork)
-
Employees
-
Higher insurance
-
Vehicles
-
Tools
-
Working capital
You can start with $5k,
but you won’t reach $900k/year with only $5k.
You reach it by reinvesting profits in years 1–3.
⭐ Final Answer
Yes — $900k/year is realistic and very achievable
…but it will take:
-
3–5 years
-
Scaling your crew
-
Taking on commercial or high-volume work
-
Reinvesting early profits

-
What tools to buy
-
What jobs to target
-
What insurance to upgrade when
-
How many workers you need
-
How revenue grows each year
