Design Doctors Construction is your Local, Award Winning, Full Service - General Contractor Serving SW Washington and the Portland Metro Area, since 2008. Veteran Owned. We Specialize in Custom Kitchens and Bathrooms, and large scale remodeling. Design Doctors is dedicated to providing you First Class Customer Service, as well as offering complimentary initial consultations, for all Angi members! Licensed, Bonded, and Insured in the states of Washington & Oregon, WA# DESIGDC925KW & OR CCB#187879.
"Design Doctors is a great group to work with. Justin responds to emails and texts in a timely manner. Justin designed and created a unique gate to block a steep stairway. He was extremely collaborative and we made multiple adjustments to the plan as it was developed. When my husband was unexpectedly hospitalized, he installed grab bars by the toilet in the master bath (and installed a bidet, which required a new electrical outlet) and built a ramp in a tight window of time, enabling me to bring my husband home as soon as he was discharged. Both projects were of excellent quality. I have a fused bamboo deck, and Justin researched the correct material for cleaning and re-staining it. His team member did an excellent job. I wanted to change my range from gas, and he coordinated everything to remove the old range, cap the gas line, add a new electrical circuit, and install my new range. He also installed an exhaust through my roof for my fans in the bath and kitchen. I needed more insulation, and he arranged a licensed company to install it. I had a malfunctioning sump pump, and Justin was able to send me a plumber to replace it quickly. Justin Ross and his company are simply outstanding!"

Robin Renovation believes in more than just construction. Family-owned and operated, we pride ourselves on producing a truly quality product, maintaining open and honest interactions with all customers, and empowering our employees to succeed both on and off the job site. While we specialize in bathroom and kitchen remodels, we offer full-service framing or finish carpentry, including tiling, drywall, window/door projects, cabinets, etc. overseen by formally-trained Journeyman carpenters with decades of on-the-job experience. The mission of Robin Renovation is to hire and train people of all backgrounds and to provide them with wages that will support home ownership and with the skills necessary to turn fixer uppers into dream homes. To us, community comes before profit, and we work hard to cultivate a work culture that encourages each employee to do things the right way and never to cut corners. We promise you will not find another remodeling company that cares about your home as much as we do. We’d be honored to work with you, so please reach out to us.
"We are so happy that we went with Isaiah and his team at Robin Renovation! The projects included new hardwood flooring in two rooms and on stairs, gas fireplace insert replacement, lots of tiling and drywall. All of the employees who came to our home did exceptional work along with being communicative, tidy and patient with our dogs. I received continual updates from scheduling manager Jodi who kept meticulous details about all of the simultaneous projects. The cost of the work was well worth it the quality. I highly recommended Robin Renovation for anyone needing renovations!"

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.
