"So they’ve constructed many different things in my mother’s home now. From bathrooms to and a series of home improvement projects—most notably a complete bathroom remodel, as well as various upgrades and repairs throughout the house—and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, the professionalism and attention to detail stood out. They treated our home as if it were theirs, ensuring that every fixture, tile, and finish was executed with precision and care. The bathroom transformation was truly stunning—sleek, modern, and remarkably functional. What impressed me most was the seamless coordination of multiple trades, and how effortlessly he managed the timeline while maintaining an exceptional standard of quality. Not to mention the very affordable pricing! Beyond the bathroom, he tackled several other improvements—drywall repair, custom carpentry, tiling, and fixture installations—all done flawlessly. He brought creative solutions to the table, respected our vision, and always kept us informed throughout the process. Cleanliness, punctuality, and craftsmanship were consistently top-notch. If you’re looking for a contractor who combines integrity, skill, and artistry, look no further. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my home. This is a rare find in today’s market, and I can’t recommend them highly enough."

"CHI has done an excellent job for me and I recommend them without hesitation for any remodeling work. Here's why: My job started out with an entry door replacement, evolved into a pantry expansion, and finally finished with an entire kitchen countertop replacement. I was very pleased with how they worked, the materials they used, and the attention to detail in the workmanship. And they were very responsive, communicated well and frequently, and checked in regularly to make sure the job was getting done right and on time. Each of their craftsmen were highly skilled, knew what they were doing, and didn't cut any corners. And each one was friendly and courteous to boot! I very much appreciated their attention to protecting the rest of the house, and they cleaned up the jobsite every single day at the end of their work day. Remodels are disruptive, no matter what. But this was about the least painful I've experienced. I have worked with a lot of contractors. CHI is a 10 out of 10."

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.
