"Perfectly. The two man crew arrived at the appointed time, assessed what the job would require and went to work. One went to Home Depot for supplies, while his partner started immediately on the prep work. Job was completed in a very timely manner and the results are perfect. Couldn’t be happier about the experience!"

"Since 2022, I’ve hired Chris Brown to complete several renovations to my home in Ocean Pines, Maryland. Projects that Chris has completed for me include a custom garage storage system, two bathroom remodels, installation of luxury vinyl plank (flooring, installation of a shiplap wall and custom window casings in my bedroom, and even an emergency roof repair after a storm damaged the house. Chris’s work is impeccable and this craftsmanship has become the center point of my home. I’ve always found Chris to be highly responsive, even outside of traditional hours – seeing things through and completing jobs on time or ahead of schedule. Chris communicates well and takes the time to explain the rationale of why certain aspects of projects need to be done certain ways. During projects, the work areas are always neat and Chris did a great job of minimizing disruptions to our family’s comfortable living while the work was underway. There was never a time where I was left to wonder about the status of project completion. I’m proud to recommend Chris and his team without reservation and look forward to having them back for additional projects in the future."

"They were professional and efficient with the project. My job involved stripping my crabgrass front yard and applying a fresh top soil sod blanket in its place. Gilder is a great communicator and understands how to make the customer happy. I’m planning on using him for seasonal lawn care, based on the performance I’ve seen in this project. I hate giving great reviews because it, usually, means higher prices are around the corner. Trust me. I’m doing this one because I appreciate his work ethic. If that changes I’ll be sure to let you all know!"

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.
