15+ employees. Most work is done by us, though we do use some subs (electrical, plumbing, etc). Free estimates and HOA approval processing are included! Top quality for a fair price, call us today! Formerly: Sullivent Services

"Working with Tom Ruddell was great. He was knowledgeable in his craft, timely, and most importantly, honest about balancing our needs versus wants to maximize our modest budget. I would definitely consult him again about future projects. Thanks, Tom!"

Experienced roofer with 12+ years. Licensed and insured. BBB A+ rated with no bad reviews. Have 17 crews that range from electrical, plumbing, Sheetrock, painting, concrete, stamped concrete, siding, outdoor kitchens and covered patios. We offer 20% off for active duty & 10% off for police offices. Additionally, we offer $250 referral fee per job & $500 off for multiple time customers. Additionally, we offer 10 year warranty on our services & free estimates.

"Eric and all his subs were terrific. The work was performed on time, under budget, and they even helped us get what we were owed from the insurance company! I would never have found these guys if it weren't for angi's, and couldn't be happier with the work they did. We had a tree come through the living room during Beryl, so required not only major roof repairs, but also a fair bit of work to replace drywall, floors, interior walls and a bunch of stuff in the attic. I'm not an expert, but I can say Eric and his crew did what they said they were going to do in exactly the time they said. They were pleasant and professional and my 89 year old mother approved (which is a hard approval to get!) I sure hope we don't need them again under similar circumstances, but we would gladly hire them again for any project!"

K2 is proud to have received Angie’s List Top Honors for 14 years running. We design & build custom bathrooms, custom kitchens and outdoor entertainment spaces. We are now well into our second decade in business and have always carefully crafted beautiful spaces - and relationships - with people just like you. Are you ready to do something amazing with your home? Our innovative approach to design, material sourcing, and on-site construction helps you save money, gets projects finished quickly and leaves a mountain of value behind.

"Stay far away from this company. Original project went fine although it was expensive. However the past few months have shown me their true colors as I have tried to get some of the original work fixed. Be aware that they only warranty work for 12 months. We had the only four tiles on the step into our shower crack over the first year and I tried for months to contact them through email. No response. I finally left my name as a new customer, and they immediately called me (funny :)). They then asked for pictures and said they could fix it. I then discovered it would cost $600 to replace the four tiles they obviously installed incorrectly the first time. Correctly installed tiles would not all crack on the outer edge."

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.
