Not sure if a guest house is the right move? These are the most common reasons Texas homeowners reach out to us.
If a parent needs to live closer for support but wants independence, a guest house offers privacy for everyone while keeping family close. It's a permanent, dignified solution.
Boomerang kids are common across Texas. A guest house gives them independence under your roof, literally, without turning your living room into a bedroom.
A legal, well-built guest house can become a long-term or short-term rental, helping offset your mortgage or generate steady extra income.
Lot size, zoning, and budget all affect what's possible. The earlier you start planning, the more options you have. We can help you evaluate your property today.
We design and build guest houses in a range of layouts and sizes to match your lot, your budget, and how you plan to use the space.
A single open-concept layout combining living, sleeping, and kitchen space. Ideal for smaller lots or budget-conscious builds. Compact, efficient, and fast to construct, this is our most popular starting option across Texas.
A separate bedroom, full kitchen, and full bathroom make this layout feel like a true independent home. Popular for aging parents or long-term renters who need more privacy and storage than a studio allows.
When lot space is limited, building up maximizes square footage. Two-story guest houses add bedrooms or living space upstairs while keeping a smaller footprint, ideal for suburban lots with setback restrictions.
Combine living quarters with an attached garage, workshop, or storage area. This option works well for property owners who need both a livable unit and functional storage in one structure.
Not sure which approach fits your property? We assess your lot first and recommend only what makes sense no upsells, no pressure.
We evaluate your lot, local zoning, and utility access to confirm what’s possible. Call (832) 413-0726 to schedule yours.
You get a detailed floor plan and transparent, itemized pricing before signing anything.
We handle county permitting and build with licensed, insured crews familiar with Texas codes.
We inspect every detail with you and back the work with our workmanship guarantee.
Building a guest house involves zoning, permitting, and construction all at once. Here’s why homeowners across the state choose us to handle it.
We've built guest houses in dozens of counties and understand how zoning and permitting rules shift from city to city.
Every quote is itemized and locked in before construction starts, so there are no surprise costs mid-build.
This isn't a side offering. Guest houses are a core part of what we build, every single week.
Structural design, permitting, and construction are all handled under one roof, with one point of contact.
Guest house costs vary widely based on size, finishes, and your specific county’s permitting requirements. Most Texas homeowners should expect honest, itemized numbers before committing to anything.
Square footage, foundation type, kitchen/bathroom finishes, and site prep (utilities, grading) all impact cost. A studio guest house typically runs $85,000–$150,000, while a one-bedroom or two-story unit can run $150,000–$300,000+.
We provide a fixed-scope quote after a site visit, not a vague estimate. Call (832) 413-0726 to schedule yours and get real numbers for your property.
Most studio units start around $85,000; one-bedroom and larger layouts range $150,000–$300,000+, depending on finishes and site prep.
Yes, almost always. Requirements vary by county and city, which is why we handle permitting for you directly.
Most projects take 4–7 months from permit approval to move-in, depending on size and site conditions.
Yes. We're a licensed Texas general contractor with full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage.
A studio combines living and sleeping into one open space. A one-bedroom has a separate bedroom and typically more storage and privacy.
In many areas, yes. Zoning rules vary by county, and we'll confirm what's allowed on your specific property before you build.
We specialize in guest houses specifically, with statewide permitting experience and transparent, fixed-scope pricing from day one.
