How to Know If Your Property Qualifies for an ADU

Before we begin ADU construction in Everett, the first step is confirming your lot qualifies for Accessory Dwelling Units.  

An experienced ADU contractor reviews your primary residence, local standards, and site conditions so you know what’s possible before design starts.

Here’s how eligibility is determined:

  • Review with the city planning department to confirm zoning and residential use.
  • Check if your property meets Everett’s standards for adding ADUs under local rules.
  • Analyze utility access and how site work like grading and drainage lines will be handled.
  • Prepare compliant architectural plans to support your application.

If your property fits local criteria, we’ll help with permits, site prep, and final inspection, all tailored to your goals and city requirements.

ADU Construction FAQs

Modern Bedroom Interior with Elegant Design
How long does ADU construction take?
Plus Icon

The average timeline for a typical construction adu project is 2 to 4 months once permits are approved and construction begins. Larger or more detailed builds may take longer. Our team manages full on site construction, including framing and concrete pouring, to keep your project moving efficiently.

How much does it cost to build an ADU?
Plus Icon

Most projects range between $80,000 and $150,000, while larger or higher-end builds may be $150,000 or more. Pricing depends on size, finishes, and utilities. Adding separate utilities increases investment. We provide clear estimates before work starts so you understand the full scope.

Will building an ADU increase my property taxes?
Plus Icon

Yes, adding square footage can increase property taxes. However, many homeowners also experience increased property value, especially when the ADU generates steady rental income.

Do you offer financing for ADU projects?
Plus Icon

Yes. We offer financing options to help make building an ADU more accessible. During your consultation, we can review payment structures that align with your budget and goals.

Can an ADU be used for rental income or family housing?
Plus Icon

Absolutely. Many homeowners choose ADUs for consistent rental income, while others use them as a guest house or an in law suite for family members who want privacy and independence.

What are common concerns about building an ADU?
Plus Icon

Homeowners often worry about:

  • Budget control
  • Permit complexity
  • Timeline delays
  • Disruption to daily life
  • Matching the existing home

We reduce uncertainty by planning carefully, aligning design with budget early, and managing the full scope under one coordinated team.

What warranties do you offer?
Plus Icon

We stand behind our work with:

  • Labor warranty
  • Material warranty
  • Structural warranty
  • Follow-up inspections

Our goal is long-term performance, not just completion.

What mistakes do homeowners make when choosing an ADU contractor?
Plus Icon

Common mistakes include hiring based only on the lowest price, skipping ADU-specific experience, or choosing a contractor who does not handle design and permits. Selecting experienced ADU builders and a licensed accessory dwelling unit builder helps prevent costly delays and redesigns.
