"So happy we found Inch by Inch Construction. Andy and his crew recently constructed an addition to expand our kitchen, make a workshop off of our basement and expand our deck. Each day they all arrived on time with a positive attitude and commitment to do quality work and leave the work areas clean and organized. We were never worried about them in the house while we were away. Everything they did was done professionally and to the highest quality. Their workmanship is exceptional. Very easy going and always available to answer any questions. Extremely helpful in that they made suggestions to make our project even better. Andy kept to the budget and the timeline. Inch by Inch even has their own designer. Danielle is amazing! Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. In fact, we trusted her so much that we left her design and choose everything for our kitchen. Our kitchen is a dream! We never imagined having a kitchen like we do now. Danielle is the Joanna Gaines of Lebanon! If you are looking for a reliable and honest team who takes pride in their work and truly values and respects their clients, then Inch by Inch is the company to call. If we ever have any future projects, we will be calling Andy once again."

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.
