"Everything went well, did a thorough job & didn't cut corners. I had a number of holes in the wall from previous screws drilled in and 360FSC came prepared with spackle to fill it all in prior to paint. I love how the room turned out, it wouldn't have been the same if I tried to do it myself."

"The job is to do pavers and fake grass front and backyard after few months weeds coming on the fake grass and pavers. Vinny landscape said its normal. My neighbor has turf grass but no weeds coming up. I'm holding $500 of payment so they fix it. They the best they can do is to spray the weed and they have to do it every 6 months and I have to pay. The reason I put pavers and fake grass us to avoid the weeds. So the project is useless."

"Horrible experience with My Construction Group. What was supposed to be a beautiful project turned into night mare. They do not have sufficient and experienced staff to do work. They have no QC. The PM is not capable of creating a timeline and adhere to it. Stress and disappointment every day. They do not clean, they use uncertified staff. All they want is to collect money way before the job is complete. I sincerely regret signing a contract with My Construction Group and I would not recommend this business to others."

"Oscar truly stands out as a contractor who cares deeply about his clients, and that’s exactly how he made me feel. I reached out to five different contractors to assess my bathroom and offer ideas, but my experiences varied significantly. Some were overly sales-driven, others dismissed my ideas entirely, and one didn’t even follow up with an estimate. Oscar, however, was a breath of fresh air. He arrived on time, listened attentively to my ideas, and offered thoughtful suggestions. He was highly collaborative with the other workers on site, making sure everything was well coordinated. Oscar's expertise in the industry is evident, and he’s exceptionally creative when it comes to problem-solving. When he identified additional challenges during the project, he took the time to offer practical solutions, demonstrating his commitment to delivering the best result. Oscar has earned my trust and will be my go-to contractor for any future projects. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and dedicated professional"

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.
