ADU Services from Patco Homes
Patco Homes offers a complete accessory dwelling unit (ADU) building service, managing the process from initial concept through to finished construction. Whether the goal is housing an aging parent nearby, providing space for an adult child, or planning ahead for the future, an ADU can be a practical solution — and Patco Homes handles the full scope of work involved.
An accessory dwelling unit is a self-contained, smaller home located on the same property as a primary residence. Building one involves several distinct phases: determining feasibility, developing a design, securing permits, and completing construction. Patco Homes coordinates all of these steps under one team.
Working with a single team throughout the process means homeowners are not left managing multiple contractors or navigating municipal requirements on their own. Patco Homes provides guidance and communication at each stage, so clients have a clear picture of where things stand.
What the Process Looks Like
Patco Homes follows a structured process for each ADU project:
- Intro Call — The process begins with a conversation about the homeowner's goals, location, and timeline. This helps Patco Homes understand the situation before any commitments are made.
- Feasibility and Budget Range — Site basics such as access, utilities, and setbacks are reviewed, and an approximate budget range is provided based on the information available at that stage.
- Site Evaluation, Plans, and Estimate — For a detailed, site-specific path forward, Patco Homes moves into formal planning. A fee of $2,000 is collected at this stage to produce official plans and a detailed estimate — necessary steps to generate accurate, buildable specifications.
- Permitting — Patco Homes coordinates the permitting and approval process with the relevant municipality, reducing the administrative burden on the homeowner.
- Construction — Once approvals are in place, scheduling and construction begin, resulting in a completed ADU ready for occupancy.
Throughout each phase, clients can expect clear communication and defined next steps rather than being left to figure things out independently.
Who This Service Is For
Patco Homes works with homeowners who are considering an ADU for a range of family-related reasons. Common situations include:
- A parent who needs to be close but wants to maintain independence
- An adult child who needs a place to live on the family property
- Long-term planning for future housing flexibility
As an ADU contractor and accessory dwelling unit builder, Patco Homes provides design support tailored to the specific property and the homeowner's needs. The team also assesses whether an ADU is a realistic option for a given lot before significant time or money is invested.
