"A Dream Oasis Blooms in Retirement: A Glowing Review of A Cut Above Outdoor Specialty Services and Crown Enterprise of Jax. After 30 years exploring the world through our service in the USMC, my wife and I craved a haven to share with loved ones. We envisioned an oasis and “A Cut Above” brought our retirement dreams to life. Turning our vision into reality wasn't easy. It required a skilled orchestra of professionals, and Sean White and Tanner flawlessly harmonized with our electrician Derek and plumber Chris from Crown Enterprise of Jax. Together, they orchestrated a symphony of functionality and beauty, even amidst the holiday crunch. While today's costs sting, the warranty, quality, dedication, and personal touch Sean and Tanner provide are priceless. Remember, folks: quality materials, skilled labor, and peace of mind come at a cost, but they're worth every penny. Here's what we learned on our journey to paradise: 1. Specialists shine brightest: Don't chase the unicorn of a "one-stop shop." Trust the experts like Sean and Tanner for pavers, and find your own Derek and Chris for plumbing and electrical. 2. Wider Drains, Bigger Gains: Don't skimp on those drains! Wider is better, and remember, the magic truly happens underground with that 6" PVC pipe – crucial for keeping your oasis dry. 3. Futureproof with Tracers: Think ahead! Run those electrical and plumbing tracers for any future renovations. Thank your past self later! 4. Expert Ears are Golden Ears: Listen to your professionals!

Cheers and Bravo Zulu to all the Crew that "played in the dirt", and of course to building your very own beautiful haven!"

We pride ourselves on using primarily word of mouth advertising through high quality craftsmanship.

"We explained what we wanted, they drew plans up with a some suggestions that we agreed with and incorporated into our kitchen remodel. Very pleased with the remodel and would hire again for other projects"

"Ryan did a fantastic job installing custom screen doors for my French doors. He was responsive, professional, polite, and exceeded my expectations. I needed a custom screen door installed by Thanksgiving and he was given a very small window to make this happen. Ryan assured me he’d do his best to make it happen (even though the screen needed to be custom ordered) and he delivered! These days, It’s rare to come across independent contractors that are responsive, punctual and deliver on their promises. Ryan is a rare find due to his incredible work ethic. I’ll be definitely be hiring him for future screen door installations!"

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.
