Accessory Dwelling Units · Rhode Island
Who will live in your ADU?
Mom and Dad. Your grown kids. A tenant who helps pay the mortgage. A separate home, an attached addition, or a garage conversion — we build ADUs that bring families closer.
Why families build
Seven reasons Rhode Islanders are adding an ADU
Keep aging parents close
Safe, independent living a few steps away — no nursing-home bills, no long drives.
A first home for adult kids
Give grown children a real place of their own while they save in a tough Rhode Island market.
Rental income
A long-term tenant can help pay down your mortgage month after month.
Care for a loved one
Room for a caregiver, or an accessible unit for a family member with a disability.
Downsize without moving
Move into the ADU and let family — or a tenant — take the main house.
Office, studio, or guests
A quiet workspace or a private guest suite that keeps everyone comfortable.
Lasting property value
A well-built, permitted ADU adds real value to your home when it's time to sell.
More than a backyard cottage
An ADU that fits your home
A standalone ADU
A separate home on your property, with its own space and privacy.
An addition to your home
An attached ADU can become part of your existing home — it doesn't have to be a standalone building.
An existing garage, reimagined
We can convert an existing garage into an ADU, subject to your property's requirements and approvals.
Let us handle everything. You get to do the fun part.
From design and permits to construction, inspections, and the final handover, we take care of the entire process. Your ADU is turnkey. Choose your cabinetry, flooring, finishing details, granite or quartz countertops, and colors. We take care of bringing it all together.
We always pull required permits and follow all Rhode Island building and weatherization codes.

New state law
Rhode Island now makes it easier to build
Recent state law allows ADUs by right on many properties and limits what towns can charge. See if your lot qualifies.
