"I recently had the pleasure of working with Pedone Construction on a full kitchen remodel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and exceeded all our expectations. Communication by Michael was top-notch—every question I had was answered quickly, and he kept me in the loop every step of the way with pictures and constant communications. Michael showed up on time every day respected my home, and maintained a clean and organized workspace. What really stood out was his attention to detail and craftsmanship. Every cabinet, countertop, and tile was installed with care and precision. He listened carefully to what I wanted, offered great design suggestions, and truly brought my vision to life. The finished kitchen is not only beautiful but highly functional and it’s now my favorite room in our summer house. If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers quality work, excellent service, and peace of mind, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and his company. We did fill this out yesterday but just in case resending it"

"Had a bad experience with this company. Dealt with Harry for the contract and 50% down payment and then was told Joe was doing my project. Oh Joe oh Joe. You can’t make this guy up. The worst case of a pathological liar I’ve ever seen. On the promised day of work nobody would show up. He used every excuse in the book, after about 7 no shows and excuses from worker called out, there is rain in forecast (drizzle at best), the Canadian wild fires, Flu, each time he would sound so genuine, but once the common excuses ran out he would say “I’m coming right now, I’m loading up the bricks in the car as we speak [goes on to tell another worker to load some more bricks in the other truck while I’m on the phone], I cancel my plans and wait… no show. This goes on and on. Then he dumps a pile a of sand on my driveway and that sits for 2 more weeks. Everytime I would call Harry, he would apologize and say I will call him. Was convinced I was scammed with the upfront payment. Threatened to call police on the company. After about 6 weeks past promised day, the work was not very good either. The contract stated polymeric sand would be used to lock pavers. They did not. When I called and showed them pictures they said “oh Joe must have been running low on the polymeric sand, I’ll have him come by tomorrow first thing in the morning and fix that”. I laughed to myself, these guys barely showed up with 50% of payment still with me. How are they showing up after getting paid full. I ended up hiring another company and they locked the pavers and finished the job. If you are not in a rush and don’t care too much about getting the whole work done and good quality, then you can give these guys a try, otherwise don’t be an idiot like me and go read other Yelp reviews."

Kitchen and Bath Works Inc has been owner operated and successfully in business since 1994. Offering a consultative approach and delivering on quality, custom work, our business has been overwhelmingly driven by word of mouth referrals. From start to finish, we stand by our work and our owner is committed to being present on all jobs.

"Lou renovated my kitchen last year and I was completely satisfied. I called him back this summer to gut and remodel my bathroom. He was extremely considerate, and he treated my house as if it were his own. My house is small, and I only have one bathroom. The project took nine days. I was anticipating that there would be a big mess and a huge inconvenience. But even the demo was done very neatly and efficiently. Lou even took the time to re-connect the toilet each night so that I wouldn't be left without. Lou did an amazing job, and it was a pleasure working with him. Once again, I am pleased to recommend Lou for your kitchen or bath project."

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.
