ADU Construction Services by Ten Key Remodels in Oklahoma City
When a household grows — whether due to a new family member, elderly relatives moving in, or frequent overnight guests — the existing space in a home can quickly feel insufficient. One practical solution is adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to the property. Ten Key Remodels, based in Oklahoma City, helps homeowners plan, design, and build ADUs and other home addition projects.
An accessory dwelling unit is a smaller residential structure located on the same property as the main home. They go by several names, including granny flats, in-law suites, and secondary suites. Depending on the design, they can be accessed from the main house or function as entirely separate units.
Types of ADUs Ten Key Remodels Can Build
ADUs come in a variety of forms, and the right choice depends on the homeowner's needs, available space, and budget. Common types include:
- Attached ADUs — Connected to the main home, offering easy internal access.
- Detached ADUs — Built separately in the yard, functioning as a standalone backyard cottage or casita.
- Garage conversions — An underused garage can be converted into a livable space without affecting yard area.
- Above-garage ADUs — Built on top of an existing garage, preserving yard space while adding usable square footage.
- Basement conversions — Below-ground spaces can be transformed into functional living quarters.
- Attic conversions — Attic spaces can be repurposed into a cozy suite or sitting area.
These units are commonly used as guest houses, homes for senior family members, or flexible living spaces. Regardless of their specific form, ADUs generally increase both the usable space and the overall value of a property.
As an experienced ADU contractor and ADU builder in the Oklahoma City area, Ten Key Remodels works with homeowners to determine which type of unit best fits their situation. Whether someone is looking for a detached ADU, a garage conversion, or an in-law suite, the team can guide the process from initial consultation through to completion.
Costs and Considerations for Building an ADU
The cost of building an ADU varies depending on several factors, including the complexity and size of the project, the choice of building materials, and applicable permit fees. There is no single fixed price, and homeowners should expect costs to differ based on their specific requirements.
Ten Key Remodels offers consultations where homeowners can outline their ideas and receive suggestions along with a cost estimate. This helps fit the project within a realistic budget before construction begins.
From a financial standpoint, building an ADU is generally considered more cost-effective than purchasing a larger home. The added property value, increased functionality, and greater flexibility are among the key reasons homeowners choose this route.
Ten Key Remodels serves homeowners throughout Oklahoma City, including areas near the Boathouse District. Beyond ADU construction, they also handle broader remodeling projects such as master bedroom additions and bathroom additions. Their approach covers full project management, from design through to the final build.
