Endor Group offers high performance remodeling services for large and small scale projects.

"Endor Group did our master bathroom and we were so happy with the results! They replaced the flooring, vanity, installed the shiplap and tiled the shower. Noah and Dane are incredibly efficient, meticulous, and detail oriented. They worked very well as a team and made sure I felt involved. At the end of each day they also made sure to clean up and organize. The pricing for my bathroom was very fair as well. I’d recommend them to anyone that needs work and wants quality results!!:)"

From our experience in home improvement and renovation, we understand that your home is one of your most significant investments.

We believe that the foundation of every successful project lies in using products that are durable, reliable, and designed to withstand the test of time. Whether it's energy-efficient windows, robust siding, or stunning flooring, we select materials that enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal and functional value.

Our team of skilled professionals are passionate about what they do, bringing years of expertise and a meticulous eye for detail to every project.

"Hartski’s professional attitude, charming personality and attention to detail were a welcome relief from the contractor experiences I have had previously. I have remodeled my entire property at this point and the only regret I have is that I didn’t meet Brandon sooner. I am purchasing a second home soon and no one but Hartski will work on this project. This contractor stands miles above the rest, is fair and honest, and believes his customers deserve to get value for their money. Top Notch!"

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.
