"Our project was originally to start on November 13th and take 3-4 weeks. Due to 4 days of rain and other projects he had to finish, it was started later than planned. On the second day, Jamie texted to say someone’s car broke down on the way to our house and they’d be late. Later in the afternoon, we were advised the vehicle was in the shop so the crew couldn’t come. (There were 4 vehicles here the day before so we weren’t sure why one in the shop took the whole crew out.) They resumed work the following week. He asked in the beginning if we had any particular concerns and we said yes, two. One, our grandchildren, 2 of whom are toddlers, are here often so care would need to be taken to keep nails and hazardous garbage picked up when they leave for the day. Two, they would need to keep the gate to the pool closed and either cover the pool or be careful in that area. Most days, we walked outside to find the gate left open and nails and pieces/slivers of wood, paint chips and other garbage littering the yard and deck. We went out one day after they left and realized they had been using the pool deck to cut the material for the facia, siding and trim. On these days, the pool was littered with sawdust. We were past Thanksgiving and heading into Christmas and no end in sight. The gutters had yet to be done weeks after the painting was finished. We were wondering if this job was more involved than this company typically handles or if a good project manager was needed. We had to remind him of the same things multiple times because nothing was written down. There is paint on the front porch rails, paint on the pool deck and on the outside of the screened porch. There’s overspray everywhere. We did have a walkthrough, and they did take care of the things we pointed out. At the same time, as the months have passed, we continue to find areas that need touch up. We will need to purchase paint and must touch things up ourselves. The biggest problem we had ended up being with the way the drip edge along the roof line was handled. Four months prior (in August) we had our roof replaced including new drip edge. We were assured that when replacing the facia that the drip edge would be fine. If there were spots that needed to be touched up, they would handle it. By the time the work was done, the drip edge was in bad condition with warps and bends to the point that we insisted it be replaced. At first, Encompass pushed back stating that the drip edge had been installed incorrectly. However, the the roof and drip edge were installed correctly by a professional roofer but damaged during the facia replacement. Encompass did consult with a roofer who told them that there should be no problem replacing the drip edge, so they proceeded to do so. Their work in replacing the original drip edge was better than they way they originally left it, but it was far from the condition it was after our roof was replaced. One of the reasons the drip edge was so important to us is that we just had bats removed from the attic and wanted to have the drip edge prevent that from happening again. In addition, after spending over $58,000 on our house, we weren’t happy with the finish of the drip edge. Since then, we’ve started getting estimates on what it would cost us to have the drip edge properly replaced. So far, we’ve received an estimate of $19,000 for the work. Because there is so much of it that has been damaged, it would cost more to cut and replace only the damaged parts and leave the few places that are not damaged than to replace all of it. We are also seeing wasps go under the drip edge, which was not happening prior to the work Encompass performed. After spending over $58,000 on the work, we are extremely unhappy to be looking at numbers this large to ultimately finish the work."

"The egg rock that my neighbor and I had installed in a water runoff area between his house and mine had failed and suffered damage every time we had a really heavy rain. Eric and his team put in a dry creek bed, which solved the problem. Having dealt with a number of landscape companies, I don't think I ever hired one more impressive than Nesbitt. Eric was cordial and professional,.. a pleasure to work with."

Established in 1987, GP Hardscape Pavers, Inc. in Cumming, GA is a family owned Atlanta Hardscape business. I’m Eddie Galvao and I started working installing pavers and retaining walls in the Sunshine State more than 20 years ago. Back then, I was mostly a middle man contractor for other larger companies, but felt the need for something bigger. So I moved on to being a paver contractor in Cumming, Georgia and started my own company, GP Hardscape, Inc.
"Great job! Iraci and her team at GP Hardscape were very professional, they constructed a walkway and build a retaining wall and a patio that is the envy of my neighbors. They did everything in a timely manner and finished the job on time."

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.
