Add a separate living space for family, guests or rental use — with one company coordinating planning, permits and construction.
ADU Construction & Remodeling with one accountable team
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a complete, independent living space on the same lot as your home. Depending on the property, it may be a new detached building, an addition attached to the house, or a conversion of an existing garage or basement.
ADUs involve zoning and permit review, utility connections, foundations and a full building scope. We help you understand the options for your property and then manage the project from early planning through construction and final inspection.

Can I build an ADU on my property in Kent?
It depends on your lot, zoning, utilities and current city regulations. Washington State has expanded ADU options in recent years, and local rules continue to evolve. We review your property and the current requirements with you during the consultation.
What is the difference between a detached ADU and a garage conversion?
A detached ADU is a new standalone structure. A garage conversion turns an existing garage into a living unit, which can reuse part of the structure but still requires upgrades for habitability and code compliance.
Do you handle ADU permits?
Yes. We coordinate the permit process, respond to plan review comments with the design team, and schedule the required inspections during construction.
Can an ADU be used as a rental?
Rental use is governed by local and state rules, which can change. We recommend confirming current requirements with the City of Kent; we can help you understand the questions to ask during planning.
