ADU construction in Ocala, The Villages, and Central Florida
Backyard cottages, garage conversions, and detached guest houses. Independent living space for family or rental income, built legal from day one.
An ADU done right is an asset. Done wrong, it is a liability.
Accessory dwelling units are one of the smartest ways to add value in Central Florida, whether it is a suite for aging parents, a guest house, or long-term rental income. But an ADU is a small home: foundation, utilities, kitchen, bath, and its own code requirements.
We build ADUs as a licensed building contractor with the permits, utility connections, and inspections handled properly, so your unit is legal to occupy, insurable, and adds documented value to the property instead of a problem you have to disclose at sale.

Common questions
Can I build an ADU on my property?
It depends on your zoning, lot size, and local rules, which vary between Marion, Sumter, and Lake Counties. Send us your address and we will help you find out what is allowed.
How much rental income can an ADU generate?
That depends on your market and unit size. What we can tell you is that only a legal, permitted unit can be safely rented and insured, so building it right is what makes the income real.
How long does an ADU take to build?
Detached new builds typically run three to five months after permits. Garage conversions are usually faster. Design and permitting add time up front.
Is a garage conversion cheaper than building new?
Usually yes, since the shell exists, but conversions still require insulation, egress, and utility work to be legal living space. We will give you honest numbers on both paths.
