"I recently had the pleasure of working with Genjazz Building and Electric Company for the renovation of my bathrooms, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team displayed exceptional professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Initially, I was impressed by their comprehensive consultation process. They took the time to understand my vision, offer valuable suggestions, and provide a clear timeline and budget. The design they presented was creative yet practical, perfectly aligning with my needs and style preferences. Throughout the renovation, the crew was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean work environment. They tackled unexpected challenges with ease and kept me informed every step of the way. Their craftsmanship is top-notch; the tile work, cabinetry, and finishing touches were executed flawlessly. Not only did they meet all deadlines, but they also delivered high-quality work that has completely transformed my bathrooms into beautiful, functional spaces.

General building contractor who currently works independently and is looking to grow business to hire one employee. I do mostly carpentry and cabinet making my self. I do perform other trades depending on how much there is. I have good dependable subcontractors that I call when necessary. Depending on the size of the job, I ask for down payment and progress payments or may just wait to bill the job once it is complete.

We pride ourselves on delivering the best product and supporting it with outstanding service. The SafeRacks patented design is intended to be the strongest overhead storage solution available with a lifetime warranty to back it up.

"Saferacks let me know at 730pm the night before they were to install they couldn’t make it. I scheduled this 3 weeks ago and they waited till the last minute. So inconvenient since they’re only available Wednesdays which I work and specifically took this Wednesday off for installation. Do not use Saferacks. Use another brand and higher someone off the neighborhood app. I would never recommend safe racks"

Guest house building services FAQs

In most states, yes—you can build a guest house, but every city or county sets its own zoning rules and building codes. Before breaking ground, check local ordinances, confirm lot setbacks, and secure the right permits. A local contractor or design-build firm can walk you through the paperwork and site requirements so your project starts on solid legal footing.

Yes—homeowners often tap a few different financing tools. A home-equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against your equity as you need funds. If you prefer a lump sum tied directly to the project, a short-term construction loan can roll into a second mortgage once the build is complete. Cash-out refinancing is another option: you replace your current mortgage with a larger one and use the difference to cover construction costs.

When you build a guest house, you’re creating a separate structure for hosting visitors without the full amenities needed for permanent living. An accessory dwelling unit, however, includes a complete kitchen and bathroom, meeting building codes for a long-term residence. This key difference makes an ADU ideal for long-term occupancy or rental income, adding enduring value to your property.

How many rooms you need depends on how you plan to use the space. Aim for one bedroom per every one or two occupants to make sure everyone has enough privacy and comfort. Added living and dining areas give you extra functionality, especially for rental use or long-term stays.

Most homeowners pick somewhere between 600 and 1,500 square feet to fit all the essentials. Make sure your design supports one to two occupants per bedroom and includes enough common areas for comfortable daily living. A well-proportioned layout boosts both functionality and property value.

No—a guest house isn’t just a bump-out on your main home. A bump-out is a small extension within an existing room for extra seating or storage. In contrast, you build a guest house as a standalone building with its own foundation and amenities, giving you a fully separate living area that can boost your property’s versatility and value.
