Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) & Additions

Portland ADU Design & Build Team

ADUs and home additions are excellent solutions for homeowners who need more space or want to add value to their property. Accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and home addition projects can provide the flexibility to accommodate hobbies, a home office, in-laws, guests, or tenants. 

Adding an ADU or expanding your home offers both practical and financial benefits. These projects increase your property’s square footage and overall value, making them smart investments. In Portland, where creative housing solutions are in high demand, a well-designed ADU or home addition can significantly enhance your property. Expanding your home can improve its functionality, create additional living space, and allow for a layout that better suits your lifestyle.
