Our Project Minimum for new installs is $3,000. Please be respectful when inquiring. We do NOT offer structural engineering. Your home is an Investment to be proud of, here at Miranda General Contracting we provide all in home repairs ie handyman work, remodeling, flooring and plumbing needs. Let us help you with all your to-do list!! We have been providing services for close to ten years in the DFW area. As a small business, we are dedicated to your satisfaction.

"Plumbing emergency solved! I couldn't shut the water off to the busted sprinkler system, so I had to shut it off to the whole house! I called them late in the evening and they squeezed me in early the next morning. While there, they noticed my water pressure was high (shouldn't be higher then 80, mine was 145!! - probably why my sprinkler lines busted). They came back a few days later to install a regulator. Both times they where there, they gave us some preventative maintenance tips! Everyone was pleasant, efficent, and they cleaned everything up when they were done. Highly recommend Miranda General Contracting for emergencies and general service needs."

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.
