Their work covers everything from initial design and planning through to complete construction.

For homeowners looking to expand their living space, a home addition can be a practical alternative to selling and purchasing a larger property. Mount Olympus Construction handles a range of addition types, including:

1. Room extensions such as family rooms and bedrooms
2. Full residential additions
3. Detached guest houses and in-law suites

Each project is built with concrete foundations, tie beams, and roof and truss systems. Projects are customized to the specific needs and layout of the property. Free estimates are available for those looking to get started.

ADU Construction in Miami-Dade

Miami-Dade County permits Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on single-family properties, and Mount Olympus Construction works within these local regulations. As an experienced ADU builder, they can construct units that are detached, attached to the main home, or converted from existing structures such as a garage.

An ADU is an independent living space that includes a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. Under Miami-Dade rules, an ADU can be legally rented out, making it a potential source of additional income for homeowners. A guesthouse, by contrast, is a similar structure but cannot be rented — it is intended only for family members or occupants of the primary home.

Key requirements for ADUs in Miami-Dade include:

1. One accessory unit permitted per lot
2. Occupants do not need to be family members of the primary structure's occupant
3. The ADU may be attached or a detached standalone structure
4. If detached, the height cannot exceed that of the principal structure
5. Standard setback requirements still apply to detached structures
6. An RV cannot be used as an ADU

As a garage conversion contractor and detached ADU builder, Mount Olympus Construction is familiar with the design standards, parking requirements, and zoning details that apply to these projects in the Miami area.

Home Addition Costs and Financing

Pricing for home additions typically starts at around $200 per square foot, though the final cost depends on several factors:

1. The design and overall size of the addition
2. Materials and finishes selected
3. Structural requirements specific to the project
4. Local municipality regulations and location

Because every project is different, costs can vary significantly. Mount Olympus Construction offers detailed estimates based on individual property assessments. They also have financing options available, including programs that may cover up to 100% of construction costs for qualifying homeowners.

For homeowners in the Miami area considering a granny flat, Casita, in-law suite, or any type of residential addition, Mount Olympus Construction provides full-service support from planning through completion.
