ADU and Casita Construction by iHome Design & Remodel
iHome Design & Remodel is a design and construction company that specializes in building custom accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and casitas for homeowners looking to add functional living space to their property. Whether the goal is generating rental income, housing family members, or simply expanding usable square footage, their team handles the full scope of the project — from initial design through to completed construction.
An ADU, sometimes referred to as a granny flat, in-law suite, backyard cottage, or casita, is a self-contained residential unit located on the same lot as a primary residence. These units can be built as detached structures or attached to the existing home, and they can also be created through conversions of existing spaces such as garages or attics.
Common uses for ADUs include:
- Guest housing or in-law suites
- Long-term or short-term rental units
- Detached home offices or studios
- Private living space for aging parents or adult children
- Backyard retreats or pool houses
ADU Construction Services Offered
iHome Design & Remodel manages every phase of the ADU build process. Their services cover both new construction and conversion projects, and include:
- Custom ADU design and layout planning
- Garage conversion and attic conversion services
- Detached and attached casita construction
- Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installation
- Kitchenettes, bathrooms, and built-in features
- Energy-efficient and code-compliant construction
- Permit handling and zoning assistance
As an experienced ADU contractor, iHome Design & Remodel takes care of the permitting and zoning process, which can often be one of the more complex aspects of building an accessory dwelling unit. Their team works to ensure that each project meets local building codes and regulations.
The company also offers a free consultation that includes a 3D rendering of the proposed project. This allows homeowners to visualize the finished space before any construction begins. The consultation process includes:
- A discussion of the homeowner's ideas and goals with experienced designers
- Tailored guidance to refine the project scope
- A personalized action plan with clear timelines
- A budget-based cost estimate aligned to the homeowner's financial parameters
