Our Specialty: ADU - Perfect Housing Solution
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary living unit on the same property as a single-family home. It has its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, and can be attached or detached from the main house.
ADU offers financial, lifestyle, and long-term property benefits, especially in areas like Spokane, where housing demand is growing. Here’s why homeowners choose ADU:
- Generate Extra Income: Rent out your ADU to cover mortgage costs, property taxes, or create a reliable passive income stream.
- House Family or Caregivers – Perfect for aging parents, adult children, or live-in caregivers who need privacy while staying close.
- Flexible Living Space – Use it as a home office, guest suite, studio, gym, or hobby space — the possibilities are endless.
- Increase Property Value – ADUs are a smart investment that can make your home more appealing to future buyers.
- Efficient & Sustainable – ADUs maximize your existing land, reduce the need for new construction, and are smaller, energy-efficient spaces.
- Support Your Community – Adding an ADU provides quality rental housing and helps meet Spokane’s growing housing demand.
- Privacy & Independence – Tenants or family members enjoy their own space without disrupting your household.
- Financing Benefits- Mortgage lenders may allow an ADU’s rental income to be included in loan qualification, helping you afford a larger property. ADUs can also improve your home’s long-term equity and financial security
With an ADU, you’re not just adding square footage — you’re creating a versatile, valuable, and lasting improvement to your home and your life. Local ADU rules around Spokane (examples):
Internal ADU: up to 800 sq. ft. or 50% of the main home
Detached ADU: up to 975 sq. ft. or 75% of the primary home
Detached must be the only detached structure in the rear yard
Any unit with a kitchen range (gas or electric) is legally considered an ADU
Rules vary by city, county, and state. For specific requirements, contact your local building department: Spokane County, Spokane City, or Spokane Valley.
