"After our experience with this business,it's impossible to believe that so many positive reviews are authentic.HOUZZ & other reviews weighed heavily in considering this company.The over-riding reason was the earnestness MattCowen presented at the BPT Home Show as well as being an “Engineer” (he is NOT)& later,at our home,abt his quality of work & assurance of working w/in our designated budget for the ENTIRE project soup-to-nuts. Cowen misrepresented himself from beginning to end. HE agreed to OUR budget, insisting that “the ENTIRE project cost was attainable” & proceeded to convince us to submit our $2,500 check to “perform the next phase which involved detailed measurements” (he missed key measurements) & “a 3D presentation w/Virtual Reality goggles.We repeatedly reminded him of our strict budget & he assured us“as long as you choose stock items & do not pick a $10,000 tub,this would proceed without any issues”.All stated in the presence of us & our 30-year-old daughter who also had inquiries about the work & was satisfied that we were all in agreement.He then talked up his "favorite materials"(porcelain sheets), & standard fixtures,etc. FF 1 week, we arrived at his “showroom”(a disheveled room of outdated, strewn materials).He presented a basic crude “3D” outdated desktop computer-based depiction of the proposed finished project.This “program had “bugs & wasn’t working right”.There was NO VR presentation with goggles as promised. He finally showed us his partial proposal-the recommended porcelain sheets ended up costing the majority of our total project budget!He then pressed us for ANOTHER check as “it's on sale until the end of the week & you need to put the order in today”.We were mystified to say the least.“How can you agree to a budget & propose exorbitantly priced materials, knowing it would eat up most of the total budget?” we asked.He then socked us with labor costs which also amount to our TOTAL budgeted project cost! When asked how much the total cost would be, the number was OVER 2X what was agreed-upon!We reiterated our prior conversations & Cowen recommended that WE “buy (our) own tile, fixtures,etc, but they would not be warrantied” by him! He had NO OTHER MATERIALS/options that he could supply to us.After picking up our jaws from the floor, we asked how this could have happened,he stated “That's how much it costs these days! Labor alone is expensive!!”WHY DID HE NOT TELL US THIS FROM THE BEGINNING? DOES HE REALLY NEED THE $2,500 THAT BADLY? To date, we have NO designs/plans and NO comprehensive, COMPLETE proposal in accordance with our agreed-upon budget.In good faith,we told him to “keep $500" for his time, but "return $2,000" to us & we would not proceed with further action on our part. A “lesson learned” (not to trust people like him). This is a classic case of “Bait and Switch”.He countered with threats of legal action if we gave him a bad review that would “tarnish” his reputation.Above is ALL true. We stand by it."

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.
