A private bedroom, bathroom and small living space for a parent, adult child or long-term guest, built as an addition or garage conversion.
A few decisions early on shape how usable and how compliant the finished suite will be.
Local zoning and permitting affect what is allowed, including kitchenettes and separate entries. We check the current rules for your address before designing.
Many in-law suites are built for aging parents, so single-level layouts, wider doorways and curbless showers are common requests.
Sound isolation and a separate or semi-separate entry make a suite feel like its own space rather than an extra bedroom.
A well-planned suite can also serve as a guest space, rental, or adult child’s space later, which is worth designing for from the start.
We discuss who the suite is for and what they need day to day.
Layout is planned around zoning rules, and permits are pulled.
Built as an addition or converted from existing space, matched to your home’s structure.
Bathroom, and kitchenette if included, plumbing and wiring are roughed in.
Accessible fixtures, flooring and finishes are installed.
We walk the finished suite with you before calling it done.
A garage conversion is often less expensive than a ground-up addition of the same size.
Adding a kitchenette increases plumbing, electrical and permitting scope.
Curbless showers, grab bars and wider doorways add labor and sometimes framing changes.
Adding a private exterior entry adds framing and site work beyond an interior-only suite.
