If you’re a homeowner in Medford, MA, considering an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), Aureli Construction can turn your idea into a reality with precision and care. ADUs are an excellent solution for adding living space, increasing property value, or creating rental income. With over 30 years of local construction experience, we guide you through each step, from early planning and permitting to final inspection. Our full-service approach covers design, zoning compliance, and building—all managed with efficiency and attention to detail.

As a trusted ADU contractor in Medford, MA, we help homeowners expand their space without moving. Many Medford homes have basements, garages, or spacious backyards that are ideal for an attached or detached ADU. Whether you’re thinking about a cozy guest suite or a long-term rental unit, we tailor every project to fit your goals, property, and budget.

What Is an ADU and Why Medford Homeowners Are Building Them

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a self-contained living space on the same property as your main home. It includes essential amenities such as a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. ADUs can be attached to your house, built as a separate structure, or created by converting an underused basement or garage. In Medford, ADUs are gaining popularity thanks to changing zoning rules and the increasing demand for flexible, multi-use living arrangements.

Whether you want to support aging parents, provide independent space for adult children, or earn passive income, ADUs provide the versatility modern families need. They also make great home offices, art studios, or guest suites. Designed properly, they deliver maximum functionality in a compact footprint.

Not sure if your home qualifies for an ADU? Our team will assess your property and help you understand your best options under current Massachusetts ADU regulations.

Personalized ADU Design and Planning Services

Every ADU begins with a solid plan. Our process starts with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals, property layout, and long-term vision. We then develop a design that balances style, comfort, and functionality while complying with Medford’s zoning and building codes. We help you navigate options like detached cottages, garage conversions, or basement apartments, making sure your new space enhances your lifestyle and investment.

Our designers also assist with material choices, layout adjustments, and energy efficiency upgrades. By prioritizing your needs and keeping communication clear, we make the planning phase easy and productive. Throughout the process, we ensure the ADU complements your home’s architectural style and maintains privacy and comfort.

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!!
