ADU / Guest House Construction

Imagine adding a fully functional, private space on your property that serves as an adaptable living area, a rental unit, or a personal retreat. Whether you’re envisioning a cozy guest house or a versatile ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), this addition brings both flexibility and value to your property. At Home Additions Geauga, we specialize in creating customized ADUs and guest houses that blend seamlessly with your existing home and meet your unique needs.

Why Invest in an ADU / Guest House?

An ADU or guest house is more than just an addition; it’s an investment in flexibility, hospitality, and potential income. Here’s why so many homeowners choose this valuable addition:

  • Enhanced Privacy for Guests and Family: An ADU provides a comfortable, self-contained space where guests or family members can enjoy privacy without impacting your main living areas. It’s ideal for hosting, extended family stays, or even housing aging parents.

  • Income Potential as a Rental Unit: With a fully equipped ADU, you can generate additional income by renting out the space, either for short-term stays or as a long-term rental. ADUs are increasingly popular for rental income, especially with platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.

  • Flexible Lifestyle Options: Beyond hosting guests, an ADU can serve as a home office, artist’s studio, fitness room, or even a private retreat, offering versatile solutions that adapt to your changing lifestyle.

Customization Options for Your Ideal ADU / Guest House

At Home Additions Geauga, we understand that each project is unique, and we take pride in offering fully customizable ADUs and guest houses to match your vision, property, and needs.

  • Versatile Layouts and Sizes: We offer a variety of layouts, from compact studios to larger, multi-room units. Whether you need a cozy one-room suite or a more spacious layout with separate living and sleeping areas, we design an ADU to fit perfectly within your available space.

  • Self-Contained Kitchens and Bathrooms: For a fully functional space, we can include a kitchen, bathroom, and living area to make the ADU or guest house feel like a true home. This is ideal for extended guest stays or rental use, providing everything occupants need in a single unit.

  • Energy Efficiency: We prioritize eco-friendly building practices, including high-efficiency windows, insulation, and sustainable materials, ensuring your ADU or guest house is energy-efficient and cost-effective.

  • Choice of Finishes and Style: Tailor your ADU to your personal style with options for flooring, cabinetry, lighting, and other finishes. Whether you prefer modern or classic aesthetics, we have styles to complement your main home and create a cohesive look.
