ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. It's a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. ADUs can be attached to a home, within an existing home, or a detached structure on the property.
We start with a phone call to understand your ADU project requirements. The quote is influenced by factors like the ADU's size, design complexity, and site conditions in Knoxville. We then provide a detailed estimate.
Potential downsides include the initial construction expense and the responsibilities of managing a second unit if it's rented out. However, ADUs can increase property value and generate rental income. We focus on transparent cost discussions, directing you to a free phone quote.
