    Signs You Need an ADU on Your Property

    You’re weighing whether an ADU makes sense for your situation. Here’s how to know.

    You Need Space for Aging Parents or Family

    If a parent or adult child needs their own space but close by, an ADU offers privacy and proximity without a second mortgage. It's one of the most common reasons Texas families build one.

    You Want Rental Income From Your Property

    A legal ADU can generate steady monthly rental income, often covering a significant portion of your mortgage. Texas's landlord-friendly laws make this especially attractive.

    You've Outgrown Your Current Home

    Need a home office, gym, or guest suite but don't want to move? An ADU adds function without the cost and hassle of relocating to a bigger property.

    Don't Wait Land and Construction Costs Keep Rising

    The longer you wait, the more land, materials, and labor typically cost. Acting now locks in today's pricing. Reach out to see what's possible on your lot.

    What Our ADU Construction Covers

    We build accessory dwelling units across Texas using four proven approaches, each suited to different lots, budgets, and goals.

    Modern backyard accessory dwelling unit (ADU) with natural wood siding, black metal roof, large glass doors, and a landscaped outdoor patio.

    Detached New-Build ADU

    A standalone structure built from the ground up in your backyard or side yard. This option offers the most privacy and design flexibility and works well on larger Texas lots with ample space.

    Brick home with a modern wood-clad rear extension featuring large black-framed windows, a small timber deck, landscaped garden, and contemporary outdoor design.

    Garage Conversion ADU

    We transform your existing garage into a fully livable unit, complete with plumbing, electrical, and insulation. This is often the fastest and most cost-effective path to a legal ADU.

    Modern detached ADU with wood accents, solar panels, and landscaped driveway.

    Attached ADU

    Built onto or above your existing home, an attached ADU shares one wall with the main structure. It's ideal for smaller lots where detached construction isn't feasible.

    Bright modern ADU interior with kitchenette, dining area, living space, and bedroom.

    Interior Conversion ADU

    We convert existing basement or large interior space into a self-contained unit with a separate entrance. This option maximizes space you already have without adding to your home's footprint.

    Not sure which approach fits your property? We assess first and recommend only what is necessary no upsells.
