As a retired 23 year veteran, trust is more than just a word to me, it's the foundation of customer satisfaction. I would appreciate the opportunity to earn yours! We do everything from basic handyman work to, flooring, tiling showers and baths, kitchen cabinets, lighting, plumbing and electrical repairs, house siding, and so much more.

"Ron and his brother excel at their craft! They expertly installed our Luxury vinyl and Engineered Hardwood floors. Ron is now matching stains to perfectly match his chosen oak transition strips. This team arrives (and finishes projects) on time and within the bid projected amount. They are patient and professional the whole time. Clean up is handled as they finish each day so you can relax and enjoy your new space. We highly recommend Liberty Renovators for much more than professional floor installations. We will certainly be using their services for future projects. Ted and Joeline"

Here at Real Deal Remodeling we are a locally owned and operated company, that values honesty, integrity, and treats your home as if it were our own. We offer a wide variety of quality home improvement services. You will find us to be competitively priced with close attention to the details of each and every project that we are involved with. We look forward to building lasting relationships and guarantee your personal satisfaction.

"This company is a joke and you have to be crazy to hire them. The owner, Lance, is a great sales man but will not abide by his contract or his word. I have been hounding Lance for 15 months to fix a drain he put in my driveway. I keep getting empty promises that it will be taken care of. The drain has never worked and my garage floods with large rains. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I had one of his crew tell me shortly after the project that Lance took shortcuts. Cracks appeared in the driveway less than six months after completion. And, multiple areas of the driveway shift up and down when driven over. I currently am seeking legal remedies. If you want to throw your money in the trash, Real Deal Remodeling is for you."

"We had an appointment scheduled for an estimate for home remodeling which required me leaving work early for. Contractor was a no show. After waiting 35 minutes after our scheduled meeting, I called their phone. After 2 rings I was disconnected. I can only assume he hung up on my call. Very unprofessional. Would not recommend!"

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.
