Looking for a company that gives you the “warm fuzzies” and makes you feel good each time we do business together? For Emergency Services or After Hour Services, Please call 512-450-1980! When you call A-Plus, you can sense warmth, experience and knowledge from our professional staff. Family owned & operated since 1977. We service Austin & surrounding areas 7 days a week .

"BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT USE THIS VENDOR! I was duped by this company! Told me the installation of my single front iron door would be $255/hr for 1 hr possible 2 hours for 2 people. This install was 7 hours for each person or 14 hours which cost me over $1300 to install 1 door. The door was already prehung. The 2 men were walking around wasting time, pretending to look for parts such as door handles which were right in front of them in the box. This is deceptive, false advertising, and will be reported to the BBB. They didn’t even get my confirmation/approval for additional hours or work! I will NEVER use their services again. Duped!"

Old School Builders LLC - Your trusted general building contractor in the Austin area. Also servicing Dripping Springs, Driftwood and Wimberley. With our expertise in new building and remodeling, we have been recognized with the prestigious Super Service Award in 2022,2019, 2018, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013. Contact us today for all your home improvement needs.

"The kitchen remodel with Old School Builders was a very fantastic and pleasant experience. Jimmy Leake came over and we went over the concept we had for the kitchen. Jimmy explained the stages and things that would be done and the timeline. Old School Builders presented great documents of the contract and scope of work. The contract was presented in stages and payments and the scope of work was a clear explanation of the stages. Communication was always there from Jimmy and his son Jeremy on any unforeseen choices that hadn't been made up front (and there is a lot! i.e. paints, light placements, etc.) A great contracting experience starts out with both great documents and communications. Thank you! I'm a very detail type person and this is the way Old School Builders work. There was no grumbling or attitude on anything that was asked about or asked to be taken care of. In any project, changes happened. Change orders were presented and very reasonable (we added more lights and tiles). An ordered door had been damaged in shipping and Jimmy went out of town to get the replacement from the factory and kept the job going forward. They accomplished everything in a reasonable time frame with taking any shortcuts. Jeremy Leake did a fantastic job of the cabinet work. Sanded with detailed, primed, painted and painted again when needed. The look of cabinets afterwards were amazing. New hinges and new pulls (none before) were perfectly done, Swing, straight and pull mounting were all centered. We had a water heater relocated out of a kitchen closet. We had that closet combined with the pre existing pantry closet. All was framed for a very large pantry, folding doors and closet maid shelves. Counter tops were cut down, formica siding scraped off and granite installed. A single drain sink installed and new soux faucet. The redesigned plumbing was totally functional in draining and NO LEAKS! Switches were replaced and switches added for more lights. Beautiful recessed LED light were added with decor switches. ( Jimmy had cautioned me that 3 counter lights were too many, went with 2. He was right!) New window sill for the sink window with tile wrapped. We had used 4" claros silver travertine tumbled tiles. Originally the tile was ended at the upper cabinet bottom but we like the tile work so much, we asked and had Jimmy and Jeremy tiled the rest of the wall above and to the side of the cabinets. Beautiful! Old School Builders did all the different jobs themselves. All was done to building code and detail. I really appreciated that fact too of now having a bunch of sub contractors in our house. thank you for a wonderful job!"

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.
