Expanding Your Living Space with Dobson Construction Inc.

Dobson Construction Inc. offers home additions and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) designed to provide practical, functional space that integrates naturally with an existing property. Whether the goal is accommodating family members, hosting guests, or generating rental income, their approach centers on thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship that adds lasting value.

ADU and Home Addition Services

Dobson Construction Inc. works on a range of residential expansion projects, including:

  1. Detached ADUs — standalone accessory dwelling units built on existing residential lots
  2. Attached home additions — new living spaces connected to the primary structure
  3. Guest suites and in-law suites — private accommodations for family or long-term guests
  4. Rental-ready ADUs — units designed with income potential in mind

As an experienced ADU contractor and accessory dwelling unit builder, Dobson Construction Inc. understands that each project comes with its own set of site conditions, zoning considerations, and homeowner goals. Their team works to align the design and construction process with those specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

For homeowners looking to make use of underutilized space, options such as garage conversions or backyard structures may also be worth exploring during a consultation. Dobson Construction Inc. can help assess what is feasible given the property layout and local regulations.

"I have done multiple major projects with Dobson Construction. The first was a kitchen and great room remodel. I had a time limit because I needed it done while I sent my wife and kids on a two months vacation. Hard to live for a whole family with no kitchen. Stripped down the kitchen to the studs, Custom everything, cabinets, tile, counters, amazing kitchen work. custom wainscoting around the great room and built in entertainment center. All Designer custom lights. Amazing craftmanship, great price and on time! Wife came home and everything was perfect. Second job was adding a butler pantry, a bedroom and a new laundry room. We live on a cliff so they dug out like 70 tons of dirt. Picture multiple excavating on a hillside with conveyor belts bringing out dirt. We gained 700 square feet of living space. Laundry home, bedroom and butler pantry are beautiful. Major job, again great craftmanship, fair price and done when he said it would be done. Chris Dobson is the only contractor I will ever work with again. It would be impossible for any other company to top the service and excellence I have received from them repeatedly."

"Working with Dobson Construction on our kitchen remodel was a very positive experience. Construction is never easy and there is always something that turns up, but their organization, flexibility and care for detail made it pretty painless. Chris is very easy to work with - calm, honest and focused, and he has an equally hardworking and reliable team. I would trust them to execute any house project with care and excellence."

"We've used Dobson Construction on three significant projects over the past number of years kitchen, entertainment room, and backyard overhaul and pool house construction. If our decision to send them repeat business isn't enough of an endorsement, we have always found them detail-oriented, punctual, collaborative, and courteous. They provide excellent craftsmanship, follow through and rectify any issues, and problem solve as needed. Highly recommend."

"We've been working with Dobson Construction for a couple of years, and it's now been a full year after our remodel finished. We're still extremely happy with how things came out! The pic is of the main room just right before we moved in. We wanted a more open-plan space and to remove some walls so our home would feel more spacious. We ended up with something that feels absolutely luxurious. They pay attention to all the small things so the final result is very polished. Chris is also easy to talk to, very straightforward, and extremely detail-oriented. During the remodel, we had weekly walkthroughs and the communication was excellent. He kept us in the loop at all points, with no surprises. He also honors his warranty. A year after the remodel he still happily came out and did some touchups following normal house settling. The entire process working with Dobson Construction was seamless, and it went so smoothly that we're starting some additional projects with Chris! Highly recommended!"
