The Power of Putting a Home in Your Backyard
Make your property work for you! A backyard or above garage-casita could generate income or provide safe, comfortable housing for a loved one.
Before you even start to really research guest houses, you need to do one quick thing. Look up your local laws and see if you’re even allowed to build one in the first place. Local zoning and property laws could forbid the construction of a guest house entirely. Others could limit its size and affect how close it can be placed to a neighbor’s home. You may also need approval from a local zoning board.
Once you’ve figured out what local laws will permit, it pays to study up on the costs of building a guest home. It’s also wise to take into account what factors can affect that cost. The construction of a guest house typically costs anywhere from $300 to $500+ per square foot.
Casitas, or backyard homes, are housing units that exist on a lot with another house. They can be detached or attached. The benefits to this type of build are that they are treated as a completely custom build.
If the conditions are right, converting your garage into a guest house can be the easiest and most cost-effective way to create an additional dwelling unit on your property.
This option is perfect for carless, eco-friendly individuals looking to transform an existing space into a cozy vacation rental.
In-Law Suites (or granny flats as many call them) take a special attention to detail in terms of creating a safe, accessible, functional, and beautiful space for your senior loved ones that are looking to “age-in-place”.
I would recommend them to my friends...and to anyone else who needed an excellent general contractor. I really enjoyed my experience with ArDan from the start till completion. They always explained if there was a delay for any reason, and they always showed up on time. And if I wanted a change — Danny always came by and we went through it together.
ArDan is extremely professional, organized and friendly. I knew day-by-day what work was being done at my home. I was updated constantly and my questions were answered immediately. The salespeople are very easy to get ahold of to answer all your questions. Lastly, the work was perfect. Very well constructed and beautiful.
