ADU and Custom Building Services Offered
As a full-service detached ADU builder, Bradley Knapp Homes specializes in constructing versatile stand-alone accessory dwelling units that complement existing properties. Their detached ADUs are ideal for guest accommodations, rental units, or home offices, and can be built from a range of standard designs or fully customized to suit the homeowner's style and needs. Each unit comes fully finished with a complete kitchen, bathroom, and living space.
In addition to their ADU services, they also offer:
- Custom Homes — Full custom builds and home updates tailored to the client's vision and lifestyle
- Custom Pool Houses — Stylish and functional poolside structures for storage, changing areas, or relaxation
- Home Office ADUs — Dedicated workspace solutions designed for productivity and comfort
All ADUs are stick-built on-site, allowing for a high degree of customization including floor plans, room sizes, kitchen fixtures, and cosmetic finishes. Every completed ADU is delivered fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including a dishwasher, oven, microwave, washer, dryer, and more.
A Streamlined, Stress-Free Process
One of the key differentiators of Bradley Knapp Homes as an ADU contractor is their proven, step-by-step building system. Unlike many other backyard cottage builders who leave homeowners to navigate complex zoning and permitting requirements on their own, Bradley Knapp Homes handles all permit filing in-house through their dedicated zoning and permit expert.
Their process follows a clear and structured path:
- Free Property Analysis — An ADU expert visits the property to assess what can be built and provides a detailed quote
- Design Collaboration — The homeowner works closely with the design team to create a custom layout tailored to their needs
- Permit Submittal — The team compiles and submits the full permitting package on the homeowner's behalf
- High-Quality Build — A dedicated project manager oversees construction and keeps the homeowner informed throughout
- Final Walkthrough and Key Handover — Upon completion, a thorough walkthrough ensures everything meets expectations before the keys are handed over
This turnkey approach ensures homeowners never have to worry about corrections, follow-ups, or permitting delays. The result is a high-quality accessory dwelling unit delivered on time and to the highest industry standards.
Bradley Knapp Homes also offers in-house financing assistance, helping homeowners explore options such as cash-out refinancing, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC), renovation loans, and personal loans to fund their ADU project.
All completed projects are backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty along with manufacturer warranties on all finish materials, giving homeowners lasting peace of mind in their investment. For those in the Southeast looking for a trusted and experienced granny flat builder or custom home contractor, Bradley Knapp Homes delivers unmatched quality, transparency, and service.
