"After performing demo workout, our previous contractor took our $$ and ran. Because of this, we were too spooked to hire another “con”tracor and decided to try a service with a good reputation and warranty. I can not recommend ACE more highly. Our “handyman" Juan was skilled and super knowledgable with the HUGE project he was thrown into. He was on time, efficient and just a joy to deal with! By himself, Juan cleaned up the prior demo area, properly sealed the shower, installed a new shower bench/curbs and repaired the wall…he did everything but the painting, which we took care of. What a worker! Thank you so much Juan and ACE Handyman Services. We will certainly be working with you again!"

"A sinkhole appeared in our backyard. We contacted Joe from Nature Redesigned and received a prompt response. Joe and his crew did a fantastic job. They explained every step taken and were not annoyed by my questions. They were very respectful of the property and brought all the equipment and materials necessary to do the job. It turned out to be an 8 to 10 feet deep sinkhole! Yikes! They did the job in a few hours. Would highly recommend Nature Redesigned and we would also call them back for any other landscaping jobs around the house. So happy! Thanks Joe, Matt and the guys!"

"We hired Pete to make over our master bedroom. We had horrible, old paneling and a tile ceiling. Pete came and gave me a very fair quote and started the work when he said he would. They put up fresh drywall, installed new doors and redid the closet as well. All the painting was done masterfully by Pete and all trim work was perfect. We were so incredibly impressed that we immediately hired Pete to install a 1/2 bathroom on the second floor - where there was no bathroom before. This project was tough to figure out in a 100+ year home but Pete was extremely patient and communicated every issue or suggestion before proceeding. The best part about working with Pete is his team. Every single person who came to the house was extremely polite, professional, and kept perfect social distance (masks at all times) requirements. We have always been worried about finding a good contractor, especially right now. But now we have one!"

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.
