"If I could give zero stars I would! Russ claimed they’ve done concrete countertops before and we were careful to select a company that had done them since they’re pretty difficult. We have huge concrete cracks that he refuses to rectify saying it’s something WE did to cause! He was a major bully over text exchanges with my husband and I, and his team did a sloppy job with our backslash. 0/10 do not recommend Russ."

"If you need a bathroom done, call someone else. We noticed water leaking outside the shower walls. We called. The first fix was them putting dry wall putty into a wet hole without finding the problem. My finger went right through the hole.They randomly half caulked one side of the shower wall panels.Days later, water continues to leak, and we lifted up the flooring to discover the flooring and subfloor had been soaked from the leaking shower. They come back. Cut out the drywall and caulk the entire shower that WAS NEVER CAULKED TO BEGIN WITH, we had to request they do this.Owner stated it wasn't mold, even though it wouldn't come off. Every time we had them come back, it looked worse. After they said they"fixed" everything, they did not replace the trim. Left paint on the floors, a screw from the new drywall is exposed after sanding and painting it and various pant chips. I've never seen a company rush to get a job done in all my life. We had to call them to come back and finish the initial job. We saved for years, YEARS FOR THIS REMODEL, and we SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Never again will I have a contractor come to my home."

For 18 years I was an Outside Sales Representative for nearly all aspects for the building industry. Part of my success was the understanding of how these products worked, were installed and repaired. I have been servicing, repairing and installing every aspect of a home and yard for as long as I can remember. I will work with every customer to meet their needs for their project. Pricing is always fair and negotiable. Since I have sold most everything we would need for your project, I can also help you get the materials at a great price.

Depending on the size of job will determine how many employees will be available. Also depending on the size of job would determine billing, usually we ask for half prior to job after contract signed and remaining balance when job is complete. We have referral programs and second contract discounts.

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.
