The Value of Adding an ADU to Your Property

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are one of the most practical and valuable additions homeowners can make. Whether you’re looking to create space for extended family, generate rental income, or increase the overall value of your home, an ADU offers versatility and long-term benefits. At FineCraft Contractors, we’ve helped homeowners build ADUs that are beautifully designed, highly functional, and perfectly matched to their existing homes.

Why Build an ADU?

Homeowners build ADUs for a variety of reasons. Some want to create a private, comfortable space for aging parents or adult children. Others use ADUs as income-generating rentals—either short-term vacation rentals or long-term tenant housing. Some simply see them as a smart way to boost property value and make the most of unused backyard space.

Beyond added utility, ADUs can also support multigenerational living without sacrificing privacy. With the right design, they feel like a true extension of the home while remaining independent.

Completed ADU

An ADU can take many forms: detached new builds, garage conversions, basement apartments, or additions to the main house. Our team works with you to determine the best type and layout based on your goals, property layout, and budget.

We focus on integrating the ADU design with the existing home—using similar materials, matching architectural details, and ensuring proper orientation and access. Interior layouts are tailored to maximize natural light, storage, and function in compact footprints.

Timeline and Approval Process

Once permitting is completed, we handle the full construction process. Depending on the scope and whether your project is a new build or a conversion, the timeline may range from 8 to 14 weeks. We coordinate all construction phases and maintain clear communication throughout the project.
