Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) & Detached Dwelling Unit (DADU) in Seattle & Tacoma

At Apex Home Solutions, we're passionate about helping homeowners in Seattle, Normandy Park, Brown's Point, Puyallup, University Place, and Puget Sound maximize their property's potential. Our expert team specializes in designing and building custom Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) that cater to your unique needs and goals.

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a separate living space with its own entrance that adds value and functionality to your property. It requires a bathroom and kitchen and can be situated within your primary residence or as a separate attached or detached unit. ADUs are also known as:

• • Mother-in-law suites
• • Vacation rentals
• • Backyard cottages
• • Granny flats
• • Carriage houses

An ADU offers endless possibilities, allowing you to create a space that suits your lifestyle. Whether you're looking to generate rental income, accommodate loved ones, or simply increase your property's value, an ADU can be a transformative addition to your home.

ADUs For Rental Properties

Seattle, Tacoma, and King County are experiencing rapid growth, fueling a high demand for housing. As housing costs continue to soar, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) are becoming increasingly popular solutions for increasing housing density and affordability. By building an ADU or DADU, homeowners can tap into a new revenue stream.

Adding an ADU can be a game-changer for your property's value and marketability. Not only will the additional living space increase your property's value, but our team of experts will design and build an ADU that perfectly complements your existing home's style and architecture. Whether you're looking to rent out the unit or sell your property in the future, an ADU is a savvy investment that can yield significant returns.

ADUs for Multigenerational Families

Multigenerational living is becoming increasingly common, and an ADU can be a perfect fit for families who want to stay connected while maintaining their independence. Whether you're caring for an elderly parent or providing a convenient living space for an adult child, an ADU offers a thoughtful solution that can be tailored to your family's needs. By providing a fully functional living space, an ADU can bring comfort, convenience, and flexibility to your home, creating a living situation that works for everyone.

We Are Experts in Local Building Codes

Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) can be a complex process, especially when it comes to navigating local building codes and zoning laws. As professional contractors, we're here to help you every step of the way. We'll guide you through the process of obtaining permits and ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.

An ADU can be a great way to create a secondary housing unit on your property, and in Seattle, most homeowners can build two ADUs on their lot.

• • You have the flexibility to build both ADUs as attached or internal units (AADUs) within your existing home.
• • Alternatively, you can opt for a combination of one attached ADU (AADU) and one detached ADU (DADU) on your property.

We can help you determine the best way to use your space. Whether you're looking to add an attached ADU, a detached ADU, or a combination of both, we’ll create a sustainable solution that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Our Approach: Collaborative Design Process

Every home remodel begins with a thoughtful conversation. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, needs, and vision for your home. Our collaborative design process ensures that every detail is tailored to your lifestyle, resulting in beautiful, functional living spaces.

What sets us apart is our meticulous approach. Unlike other contractors, we don't rush through the inspection process. Instead, our initial inspection consists of a 2-hour process where we take precise measurements and thoroughly assess your home to provide an accurate estimate that fits your budget. Our goal is to deliver exceptional service without cutting corners. To ensure we meet your expectations, we'll ask questions like:

• 1. What are your top goals and priorities for your ADU? Will this be used as a rental property or for personal use? Are you looking to create a comfortable space for a loved one, or perhaps a functional area for your adult children? We'll work with you to create a plan that makes the biggest impact.
• 2. How do you envision your ideal living space? Do you want open areas, efficient storage, or seamless flow between rooms?
• 3. What is your budget for this project? We'll work with you to create a plan that meets your needs and stays within your means.
• 4. How long do you plan to stay in your home (maybe you plan to move to different state soon)? This helps us tailor our recommendations to your long-term goals.
• 5. Are you looking to create your space with modern updates or create a luxurious retreat? We believe "new is nice", and updating your hardware or choosing high-end materials can elevate your space.

One of the unique aspects of working with us is the flexibility we offer. While we can handle material purchases, we also give you the option to take charge of procurement yourself, potentially saving you money.
