Not sure if a granny flat is the right move? Here’s how Texas homeowners usually know.
If mom or dad needs support but still values independence, a granny flat offers privacy with family close by without the cost of assisted living.
A detached unit gives grown children their own space to land while they get back on their feet, without crowding the main house.
A backyard granny flat can generate consistent rental income in high-demand Texas markets, often paying for itself over time.
Zoning rules and buildable lot space can change as cities update ADU ordinances. The sooner you plan, the more options you'll have.
Every granny flat we build is fully custom, but most Texas projects fall into one of these approaches.
Built directly onto your existing home, sharing a wall or connecting hallway. Faster permitting in most cities and lower foundation costs, ideal for smaller lots needing an efficient addition.
A standalone structure in the backyard, offering the most privacy and independence. Best for aging parents or rental use where separation from the main house matters most.
We transform an existing garage into a fully livable unit, reusing the existing foundation and framing. Often the fastest and most cost-effective path to a finished granny flat.
For smaller lots, we build vertically to maximize square footage without expanding the footprint. Delivers more living space while staying within lot coverage limits.
Not sure which approach fits your lot and goals? We assess your property first and recommend only what fits no upsells.
