"Just recently I had custom cabinets made by Myrtle Beach Cabinets. Lee came right out to the house and gave me fantastic ideas. He was professional and patient throughout the process. The best part was the price! He was honest about pricing and the timeframe for installation. Rich, who installed the cabinets, was also professional and extremely meticulous. I would absolutely recommend this company over and over again."

Penar Improvements is family operated with over 30 yrs experience. We are a licensed South Carolina residential builder that specializes in Kitchen and Bath projects. We do not hire sub contractors and Chris and Drake (father and son) complete all work themselves. We only work on a single project at a time ensuring quality results to your complete satisfaction.

"The quality of work that was performed was so far above what I expected! The extra detail touches that were added made my home Beautiful. The cord around for example, instead of a blunt cut they gave it a finished angle trim. A company that does that, well you should see the rest of his quality work! I promise you will be amazed and as excited about decision to go and trust your home with Penar! Thank you, I appreciate everything you did for my Home!"

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.
