ADU Construction Services by Prestige Contractors
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become a practical option for homeowners who want to make better use of their property. Whether the goal is to house extended family, create a private guest suite, or generate rental income, an ADU provides a self-contained living space on an existing residential lot. Prestige Contractors, Inc. designs and builds ADUs in Castle Rock and Douglas County, bringing over 20 years of construction experience to each project.
An accessory dwelling unit is a fully independent residential unit located on the same property as a single-family home. It includes a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and sleeping space, making it suitable for a range of uses. Prestige Contractors works with homeowners to plan an ADU that fits their specific goals, budget, and lot conditions.
Common uses for ADUs include:
- Rental income, including short-term rentals like Airbnb
- Guest houses or in-law suites
- Home offices or studios
- Multigenerational living arrangements
- Aging-in-place housing options
Types of ADUs Prestige Contractors Builds
Prestige Contractors handles several types of ADU construction, depending on the layout of the property and the homeowner's needs:
- Detached ADUs: Freestanding structures placed in the backyard or on available land on the property — often referred to as a backyard cottage or granny flat.
- Garage conversions: Unused garage space is converted into a fully livable residential unit. This is a cost-effective approach for properties where outdoor space is limited.
- Above-garage ADUs: A vertical addition built above an existing garage, offering a space-saving solution.
- Attached additions: An expansion of the existing home that includes a private living suite with its own entrance.
Each of these options serves a different purpose and comes with its own set of design and structural considerations. Prestige Contractors evaluates the property and works with the homeowner to determine which type of ADU is the most suitable fit.
