Whether you need more room for family, want to generate rental income, or simply want to maximize your property’s potential, an ADU is a smart investment. With over 30 years of experience, our team guides you through every step—from the first design sketch to the final walk-through.

As a trusted ADU contractor in Arlington, MA, we help homeowners expand their space without moving. We manage the entire process, including permitting, zoning compliance, and construction. From in-law apartments and backyard cottages to garage or basement conversions, we design ADUs that fit your lot, your goals, and your lifestyle.

What Is an Accessory Dwelling Unit and Why Build One in Arlington?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a complete secondary living space on the same lot as your main home. It can be attached, detached, or created from an existing space like a garage or basement. Most ADUs include a private entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, making them ideal for guests, family members, or tenants.

Arlington is an ideal location for ADUs due to its mix of older homes, walkable neighborhoods, and evolving zoning rules. Whether you’re accommodating aging parents, supporting college-aged children, or creating rental income, ADUs add flexibility and lasting value to your property. They also serve as excellent home offices or creative studios.

If you’re not sure whether your lot qualifies, we can help. We assess your property and walk you through your best options while keeping Massachusetts ADU laws in mind.

Custom ADU Design and Planning Services

We start each project by understanding your goals. Whether you’re looking to finish a basement, convert a garage, or build a new structure in the backyard, our team creates a design that fits your needs and works with Arlington’s zoning regulations. We prioritize both function and aesthetics, creating a space that complements your home.

Our designers develop floor plans that make the most of your square footage while keeping comfort and privacy in mind. We also help with layout decisions, finishes, energy-efficient options, and more. The result is a fully customized ADU that enhances your property and lifestyle.

Dan provided several practical ideas that fit my budget. We decided to add a new story above the second floor, which not only gave us two additional bedrooms and a bathroom but also showcased stunning ocean views. His best suggestion was a wraparound porch, which expanded our outdoor living space and offered an even better vantage point of the water.

Dan was the best builder I've ever worked with. We started a big home renovation and expansion as Covid was hitting. Working with Dan was very helpful as it cut out an outside designer and helped to more quickly integrate design and build. We were very fortunate to have him and the project turned out absolutely incredible. Thanks Dan!!
