About Tacoma DADU

Tacoma's Premier Detached ADU Builder

Tacoma DADU Builders is a leading detached ADU builder serving the greater Tacoma and Puget Sound area. A DADU — or Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit — is a self-contained structure built on the same property as a primary residence. The city of Tacoma has opened the door for these units to be constructed on both owner-occupied and investor-owned, non-owner-occupied properties, creating exciting new opportunities for homeowners and real estate investors alike.

As experienced ADU contractors, they bring deep knowledge of local regulations and municipal requirements to every project. Navigating the rules around building a detached ADU in Tacoma can be complex, but their team has the expertise to guide clients through every step of the process with confidence.

A One-Stop-Shop ADU Contractor Solution

What sets this accessory dwelling unit builder apart is their comprehensive, turnkey approach. From initial design through permitting and all the way to completed construction, they handle everything under one roof. Clients never need to coordinate between multiple contractors or worry about gaps in the process — this team manages it all.

Their services are designed to serve a wide range of clients, including:

  1. Real estate investors looking to maximize rental income potential
  2. First-time buyers wanting to begin building a rental property portfolio
  3. Homeowners who want a granny flat or in-law suite for a family member on their property

Whether the goal is generating monthly income, increasing overall property value, or simply providing a comfortable space for a loved one, this backyard cottage builder offers a solution that fits a variety of needs.

It is worth noting that they provide base plans designed to work across many different lot configurations. However, some properties may require additional custom design work depending on the existing structure and surrounding neighborhood. Their team will assess each situation individually to ensure the final design meets all local municipality requirements.

Over 40 Years of Building Experience in the Puget Sound

With more than four decades of home-building experience in the Puget Sound region, this ADU builder brings a proven track record to every project. They are fully licensed and bonded, giving clients peace of mind throughout the construction process.

Their in-house design team works closely with each client to create a unit that fits perfectly within the available space. Whether the project is large or small, their design professionals ensure the finished product is both functional and aesthetically appropriate for the property and neighborhood.

By partnering with this experienced garage conversion contractor and detached ADU specialist, property owners can use existing equity to build more equity — turning underutilized land into a valuable, income-generating asset. Their one-stop-shop model makes the entire journey from concept to completion straightforward and stress-free.

Tacoma DADU Reviews

"Matt's team built a wonderful DADUgarage for us last year, and are currently building a second storey addition to the existing house. Their service is outstanding - with their own in house design team, it's easy to create your dream, and with their practical experience of the building industry and knowledge of construction code, they can work to make it happen. The build process was pretty smooth overall, and there were no unexpected budget overruns. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services."

"Tacoma DADU built our DADU last fall. They delivered on everything they promises, and on TIME! Easy to work with, great process, good communication and great follow up. I highly recommend them."

"Tacoma DADU was great to work with. I know we were one of the early DADU projects and they did a wonderful job. There were a ton of decisions to be made as far as finishes and other details but working with Matt Rody and their foreman on our project made it very straightforward. They finished building our 3 car garage with the 2 bedroom apartment above in December of 2022 and we are still very happy with the whole process and the finished product"

"I can not recommend Tacoma DADU enough. They built a DADU for me in Lakewood. Throughout the whole process I was updated on timelines, the different challenges and how they were resolved. Not once did I ever have to worry about the details as they took care of it all. Truly a white glove service. I was involved as much as I wanted to be but was never burdened with decisions. The final product was beautiful and just how I envisioned it. Thank you Tacoma DADU!"
