Tiny Cottage Builders NW – ADU and Home Remodeling Services in Tri-Cities, WA

Tiny Cottage Builders NW is a locally owned construction and remodeling company serving the Tri-Cities area of Washington State. Led by owner and builder Brandon Lott, the company focuses on ADU construction, garage conversions, basement finishing, and home remodeling. Their work is centered on helping homeowners make practical use of the space they already have, with an emphasis on clear communication and quality craftsmanship throughout every project.

Every project is personally overseen by Brandon Lott, which means there is no subcontractor shuffle and no handoff between teams. Homeowners work directly with the person building their space, from the initial site visit through to the final walkthrough.

ADU Construction and Conversion Services

An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, is a fully independent living space built on an existing residential property. It includes a kitchen, bathroom, and private entrance, functioning much like a small standalone home. ADUs can take several forms, including detached backyard cottages, attached additions, or converted garages and basements. Tiny Cottage Builders NW designs and builds custom ADUs intended for a range of uses:

1. In-law suites for family members who need nearby but independent living arrangements
2. Rental units to generate additional income from an existing property
3. Guest accommodations with privacy and comfort in mind

As a garage conversion contractor, Tiny Cottage Builders NW transforms underused garage spaces into livable square footage. These conversions can become a granny flat, a guest suite, or a fully functional rental unit. Similarly, their basement finishing service turns unfinished lower levels into usable spaces — ranging from family rooms and home offices to complete apartment-style units.

For homeowners looking to add a detached ADU or backyard cottage to their property, Tiny Cottage Builders NW handles the full scope of work, including permits, construction, and finishing details. The goal is to create a space that fits naturally with the existing home while meeting the practical needs of the homeowner.

How Tiny Cottage Builders NW Approaches Each Project

The company follows a straightforward three-step process designed to keep projects transparent and manageable:

1. Identify: A site visit is conducted to discuss the homeowner's goals, available space, and what options are realistic given the property.
2. Plan: A clear project outline is developed, covering timeline, materials, and scope. Homeowners are kept informed so there are no unexpected changes mid-project.
3. Build: Once plans are approved, the team handles everything — permits, construction, and all finish work — with attention to detail at each stage.

Tiny Cottage Builders NW is fully licensed and insured, operating as a dependable local ADU builder in the Tri-Cities region. Their approach avoids sales pressure and focuses instead on honest assessments of what a project involves and what it will cost.

Beyond ADU and conversion work, the company also offers:

1. Home remodeling – kitchen updates and full home renovations
2. Deck building – custom outdoor structures designed to complement the existing home
3. Window and door installation – replacements aimed at improving energy efficiency, security, and appearance

For Tri-Cities homeowners considering an accessory dwelling unit, a garage conversion, or a broader home renovation, Tiny Cottage Builders NW offers a hands-on, locally rooted option with a consistent point of contact throughout the entire build process.
