Commercial and Residential framing services in both wood and metal; drywall finishing, painting, insulation services, siding installation renovation & additions, roofing installation, carpentry, deck installation, and interior trimming. Quality is the main goal for each project performed. We are professionals at everything we do. I am a small business owner and have been in this line of work for over 20 years and in business for over 5 years

"Unfortunately I cannot rate their service, the quality of the work or price because they never sent over the estimate. They sent me an email after the walk-through letting me know that several jobs had came up and they were very busy. Apparently too busy to do an estimate and win our business. A little frustrating because we took the time out of our day to go over ideas and discuss options for our kitchen, bathrooms, etc. They even suggested that we go with another contractor if we couldn’t wait. That was over a month ago and we still haven’t heard back."

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.
