"I recently worked with Ariel from Full Service and he helped us remodel my entire house over the course of nearly a year. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of work and level of professionalism he demonstrated throughout the project. When learning for a contractor, we looked over what felt like hundreds of reviews and options, and narrowed down our search to around 5 general contractors. Ariel was the only contractor who really sat down with us to understand our vision and goals for our home renovation. Ariel was also the only person who let us come to two different projects he was working on, and speak to the home owners directly! One of the key strengths of Ariel was his exceptional problem-solving ability. No matter what challenges arose during the remodel, he was always able to quickly identify issues and come up with creative solutions that were both effective and efficient. His ability to think creatively and make sure we were happy with whatever the solution was, was truly impressive, appreciative and helped keep the project on track. Another standout quality of Ariel was his critical thinking skills. He was able to evaluate various options and make informed decisions that were in my best interest. I appreciated his ability to consider multiple perspectives and weigh the pros and cons of each decision, which helped ensure that the remodel was completed on time and within budget. Furthermore, Ariel's knowledge and expertise in design was an invaluable resource throughout the project. He was able to provide expert guidance on everything from the layout of the space to the selection of materials and finishes. His insights and suggestions helped me create a cohesive and stylish look throughout my newly remodeled home that I am absolutely thrilled with. In addition to his problem-solving ability, critical thinking skills, and design expertise, Ariel was also highly reliable and communicative. He kept me informed about the progress of the project at all times and was always available to answer any questions I had. His professionalism and dedication to the project made the entire process much smoother and stress-free for me. Overall, I would highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable contractor for their home renovation project. His ability to problem-solve, think critically, and help with design make him an exceptional asset to any construction project. I could not be happier with the work he did on my home and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future."

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.
