Interested in building an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is a secondary housing unit located on the same grounds as a primary residence. Think of it as a mini home-within-a-home, providing homeowners with an additional living space that's separate from the main house.
ADUs come in various forms, from converted garages and basements to standalone cottages or apartments above a detached garage. They offer a flexible solution for homeowners looking to maximize their property's potential, whether it's for accommodating family members, generating rental income, or creating a private retreat.
These versatile structures can serve multiple purposes, acting as a guesthouse, home office, rental property, or even a space for aging parents or adult children. With the rising demand for affordable housing and sustainable living, ADUs have emerged as a popular choice for homeowners seeking to adapt their properties to changing needs and lifestyles.
At J Burgess we specialize in designing and building custom ADUs that seamlessly integrate with your existing property while meeting your specific requirements and aesthetic preferences.
