About Paradise Found Construction

Paradise Found Construction – ADU Builder and Home Addition Specialist

Paradise Found Construction is a design-build contractor serving homeowners in Cary, Raleigh, Apex, Wake Forest, and Holly Springs, North Carolina. Led by NC Accredited Master Builder Jeff Wiblitzhouser, the company focuses on accessory dwelling units (ADUs), home additions, aging-in-place construction, and whole-home renovations. With over 20 years of experience in residential construction, the team is fully licensed and insured, and has been recognized by regional home building associations for quality and integrity.

Their approach combines design and construction under one roof, guiding homeowners through zoning requirements, permitting, and project management from concept to completion.

ADU and Home Addition Services

As an experienced ADU contractor, Paradise Found Construction offers design-build services for a range of accessory dwelling unit types. Whether a homeowner is looking to convert an existing garage, build a detached ADU, or create an in-law suite or granny flat, the team handles the full process — including permitting, design, and construction management.

Their ADU services are designed to add flexible, independent living space to a property while meeting local code requirements. This includes:

Garage conversion to a livable unit
New freestanding backyard cottage or Casita construction
Attached and detached accessory dwelling unit builds

In addition to ADU work, Paradise Found Construction designs and builds home additions that expand living space in a functional and cohesive way. Their addition services include ground-floor primary suites, guest or in-law spaces, and expanded common areas. The team works to ensure new additions blend with the existing structure in terms of scale, materials, and architectural detail.

For homeowners who need broader changes, the company also offers whole-house renovations, covering full floor plan redesigns, kitchen and bathroom modernization, and exterior updates.

A notable area of focus for Paradise Found Construction is aging-in-place construction. This includes accessible bathroom and entrance design, barrier-free bedroom layouts, and modifications that support mobility without compromising the home's overall appearance.

Local Knowledge and Permitting Expertise

Paradise Found Construction works specifically within the Triangle region of North Carolina, and their familiarity with local zoning ordinances is a practical part of what they offer. Each municipality has its own ADU regulations and permitting expectations:

Cary – Detached ADUs are now permitted in most residential zones, with updated size limits the team is familiar with.
Raleigh – A fast-track ADU approval program is available, and Paradise Found Construction has experience navigating it.
Apex – Both attached and detached units are supported, though lot-specific zoning nuances require careful feasibility review before submission.
Wake Forest – ADU standards fall under the Unified Development Ordinance, which the team designs around to keep projects on schedule.
Holly Springs – ADUs are classified as accessory structures with strict setback and appearance requirements that the team manages directly.

By staying current with each town's requirements, Paradise Found Construction aims to reduce delays and avoid budget surprises caused by compliance issues. Their process includes assessing feasibility, preparing plans that meet local standards, and managing approvals before construction begins.

For homeowners considering an ADU, a home addition, or a larger renovation in the Triangle area, Paradise Found Construction offers a structured design-build process backed by regional permitting knowledge and hands-on project management.

"We had the pleasure of working with Paradise Found Construction on a project for a mutual client, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They were professional, communicative, and reliable throughout the process. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality work made the collaboration seamless.

"When faced with a family members declining health we urgently needed home modifications and additional living spaces that would provide a safe and comfortable environment while facilitating in-home caregiving and assistance. Paradise Found Construction was the best choice to immediately step in and work with us to not only design and build a solution that would meet our needs and budget constraints but also add lasting beauty, utility, and value to our home and allow it to serve many different functions into the future. Their design process served to clarify priorities and options and flowed seamlessly to arrive at our perfect solution of an ADA and Aging in Place wheelchair-accessible Accessory Dwelling Unit ADU with adjacent live-in caregiver accommodations. From there, the Permitting and commencement of construction was a breeze and progressed quickly with minimal delays and downtime. Before we knew we were on the home stretch speeding toward completion. Jeff was there for us every step of the way to keep us abreast of what to expect and provide guidance and support in selecting the right fixtures and finishes that accommodated the specialized needs. His professional team of carpenters and technical trades were a pleasure to be around and genuinely driven to deliver high quality results. The site-finished hardwood floor matches perfectly with the much older existing hardwood flooring in our home. Thanks to Paradise Found Construction we have peace of mind knowing that our home will function to meet our needs and comfort for today and for the future and fulfill our vision for lasting comfort, enjoyment, and safety as we age and continue that legacy for the next generation."

"We used Paradise Found Construction to build an addition onto our 1972 ranch style home. Our new construction included a family room, pantry, laundry room, mudroom and bathroom. We also expanded our existing primary bedroom and renovated a bathroom. We have been thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail throughout the entire process including lovely trim work on the ceiling of the family room, newly expanded handicap-accessible doorways and special attention given to the function of each space. The most surprising part of the project was that we were able to function and live in our home during the entire construction process. Jeff and his crew worked tirelessly to give us the home we wanted. We received frequent updates on the progress and timeline of the project, and we were somehow able to mostly remain on schedule despite widespread delays throughout the construction industry. We never felt pressured to make unnecessary upgrades--Jeff helped us to realize the home updates we wanted within the budget we provided. I highly recommend Jeff and Paradise Found Construction for anyone looking to update their home."

"Without reservation, I recommend Paradise Found for remodeling and renovations. Jeff was very easy to work with through out our project addition. He designed the project with all our specifications and requirements just as we conceived it. We wanted an independent living area attached to our ranch house, which was built in 1965. People have commented that the completed addition looks like our original house, rather than looking like an addition. This was important to him in his design process. Because we imagined this new space as one in which we can "age in place," we included large doors and bathrooms to accommodate common aging issues. Jeff possessed the expertise to accomplish this goal for us. As a result, my daughter's family now resides in our original house, while we live in the new space. This proximity allows us to babysit our grandchildren, and for my daughter and her husband to look in on us in the future. Jeff's contract was straightforward and easy to understand, and allowed us to maintain our tight budget. There were no "surprises." He was very honest and up front about issues that might have exceeded our budget, and helped trim these areas without sacrificing quality. He an excellent relationship with his team of builders. Jeff was very "hands," and was present at the work site many times each week. He was always quickly responsive in answering any questions or concerns that arose. Unlike some local building projects, the construction timeline was maintained. Although we have been occupying our new space for a few months now, I still feel I can call him if something comes up and he will attend to it. We love our space; it is exactly what we wanted, and we kept within our planned budget."

"To say that this project went fantastically is an understatement! We are delighted and so impressed with Jeff's services. The bathroom turned out better than we ever thought it could; it is fabulous!! Jeff is an amazing contractor and what we appreciate the most about him is his amazing communication. He was great at sending a timeline at the beginning of each week and managed our expectations when there were delays. This was excellent as we never felt like we were in the dark. His sub-contractors were all courteous and Jeff was always there to help ensure that their respective jobs were done well and cleaned up at the end of each day. What we also really appreciated is that he worked within our budget and allowed us to have a lot of input from bathroom layout to what shower was used to the hand towel holder. I was very involved and he was very accommodating and tolerant of me!! We now have an amazing living space and we like this bathroom better than ours. I cannot recommend Jeff and Paradise Found enough!! We appreciated his work so much that we're having him remodel another part of our home - that is a tremendous recommendation unto itself!"
