The Benefits of Building an ADU

The Benefits of Building an accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)

ADUs offer a variety of benefits for homeowners, renters, and the community at large. They are a great way to increase the livable space on your property while simultaneously increasing the value of your home.

Some of the key benefits of accessory dwelling units include:

  • Extra living space: ADUs provide an extra bedroom, office space, or even a separate living unit for family members who might be aging in place.
  • Increased rental income: ADUs can provide a secondary source of income by renting out the unit to tenants.
  • Increase your property value: Adding an ADU to your existing property can help increase your property value for later resale.

Nicole Luvison 3/23/2023

We had an amazing experience with Northlight. We had a small project (turning a large room into two rooms), but we never felt like we were just a small job! From start to finish everyone was very open, friendly, and communicative, Sean was always on time, and the finished rooms look fantastic. We have some projects we'd like to do in the future, and we're looking forward to working with Northlight again for those.

The ADU Building Process

  • Show Answer Step 1: Let’s talk about your project
  • Once our consultation meetings are complete, we’ll present a Design Agreement for review and approval. The Design Agreement will include renderings, detailed plans such as architectural drawings and elevations; that will all be used in the Construction phase of the project. We’ll also introduce you to our selection of products such as cabinetry, tile, flooring, fixtures and more - allowing you to personalize your home exactly how you want it.
  • When the Design Agreement is signed, we will begin to dig into the details of your project. We will take precise measurements, check on needed permits, talk with subcontractors and start the process of making your selections. Whether you are remodeling a kitchen, bathroom, a whole home addition, or adding a new space; you will have selections to make for your flooring, light fixtures, cabinetry, paint colors, and more. For some this is a fun process, for others it can be overwhelming. Whichever camp you fall into, we are here for you. We have in-house design specialists that will help you every step of the way. Whether you just need someone to bounce ideas off, or if you want us to meet you at the store and help you pick out the best fixtures, flooring and more that will be functional and beautiful in your new space; we are here for you!
    Once you have your selections made, we will incorporate those into a project rendering for you. This will allow you to visually see how your space design and selections will look prior to work beginning.
  • The construction process begins with laying the foundation and then moves on to framing, insulation, siding, and other finishing touches. Throughout the process, our team of experienced professionals will ensure that your accessory dwelling unit is built to last - all while maintaining the highest quality standards and workmanship.
  • Once construction is complete, we'll conduct a final inspection to make sure everything meets local zoning and building codes. We'll also make sure that your accessory dwelling unit looks great and functions properly.
    After the final inspection is complete, you can move into your accessory dwelling unit and start enjoying all of its benefits! Your ADU will be a beautiful and functional new living space to use and enjoy.

Step 6: Enjoy your brand new home!

At the completion of your Design-Build remodeling project, we’ll do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything is up to Northlight Custom Builders standards! Once complete, you can rest assured knowing that your Design-Build project is covered by our industry-leading warranty for our workmanship. We will also provide you with maintenance tips for any new surfaces in your home.
