Amanda provided receipts and timesheets regularly. - They have superb attention to detail.

I am Alan Luxmore and I’ve been in the construction and home building industry for 32 amazing years, starting my own construction company 1996 I have traveled this country to become the best contractor and human being possible. I’ve had many construction adventures. I spent 4yrs building over 73 massive custom homes in 106hrs on ABC’s EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION. GOOGLE LUXMORE CONSTRUCTION, LUXMORE INDUSTRIES INC, ALAN LUXMORE and do your homework from there. I come from 3 generations of builders and went straight into construction paying my dues as the laborer for every trade imaginable. I love construction and people equally. One of my greatest strengths is the deep respect I have for my clients and keeping construction process a positive experience for everyone. We both know that finances and a families home are both very serious and deeply emotional subjects of which I’ve learned to have a deep respect and understanding of both. I keep close relationships to my subcontractors and clients as well. I’ve made it my life’s journey to understand and make all parts of construction a positive life changing experience for everyone. I believe in honesty, integrity, pride and also understanding. I’ve creates each one of my homes and remodels with pride as one unified team. A potential client or homeowner does not need to worry about the quality of their and product if I am in charge of building it. What a client should worry about is the quality of person their contractor is. They should examine a contractor’s character closely and decide how they want their construction journey to play out. Find the most experienced top quality contractor possible and they will already know to treat your budget with great care. The simple act of making a living is one the most difficult undertakings we have as humans and all my projects are budget driven. Never settle for less than amazing, you don’t have to.

"Alan is wonderful. Our bathroom is a challenging space to work in. Alan is reliable knowledgeable about how to make the most out of the space we have. We’ll only use Alan on any other projects going forward."

"We were so pleased with the quality of work performed by Tall Pines Construction on our large, extensive bathroom remodel that we hired Tall Pines to install new flooring--engineered acacia wood--throughout our entire home (except for the bathrooms). It was a huge job, but we're so glad we did it. The floors look like a work of art. While doing the floors, Tall Pines also changed all our floor boards and interior trim around windows and doors to give our house a sharp new appearance and feel. The crew were a delight to work with and to have in our home. Late August while having some siding work and shingle replacement done on our exterior, rot was discovered in two areas. We called Tall Pines, and they quickly came out to the house, assessed the damage and repaired it before the rains set it. We believe in relationship building with service companies.Tall Pines is a company you can work with for the long run. We highly recommend them."

We do second-story additions, basement expansions, house lifting, and structural work. We can help you get the primary bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen that you've always wanted, and can make sure that your addition blends seamlessly with your existing structure. We can get you set up with architects and engineers to get your project started, and our team of professionals will get your project finished.

"We had a great experience working with NRC Homes on a significant remodel as we prepared to move into our new home. They were highly organized, very communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Despite a tight timeline and several changes along the way (Due to changes from us), they delivered everything on time and were incredibly patient and flexible. We’re so grateful for their professionalism and would absolutely recommend them!"

FAQs for guest house building service projects in Seattle, WA

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.
