We have been designing kitchens, baths, closets and other home remodeling projects since 1977 in Central Florida! We have seven showrooms to serve you - Longwood, Winter Park, Windermere, Palm Harbor, Sarasota, Melbourne and Tampa. Our award winning team can help you get the home of your dreams on budget and on time...without the stress!
"We recently had the pleasure of working with Lacie and Mike from S&W Kitchens in South Tampa on a bathroom project, and we cannot express enough how impressed we were with their combined talents and professionalism. Lacie's design skills are truly exceptional. She transformed our initial bathroom concept into visually appealing results that exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was Lacie's extraordinary patience with us during the initial design process. As we deliberated over various options and changed our minds numerous times, she remained consistently supportive and understanding, never rushing us as we worked to finalize our vision. Her creativity, paired with her ability to understand exactly what we were looking for, made the design process very smooth. As for Mike, his project management skills were outstanding, especially when faced with significant challenges. Despite our bathroom renovation being delayed by two hurricanes, Mike kept everything as organized as possible, and his calm demeanor kept the project moving forward. Lacie and Mike’s collaborative approach at S&W Kitchens created a perfect balance, even when Mother Nature had other plans. They demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment to quality despite the weather-related setbacks. We would not hesitate to work with S&W Kitchens, especially Lacie and Mike, again, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier bathroom renovation."

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.
