Common questions

Houston ADU questions, answered

How much does an ADU cost in Houston?

Most ADUs in Houston cost between $80,000 and $240,000. A basic garage conversion starts around $80K, while a fully detached two-bedroom cottage runs $200K–$240K+. Cost depends on square footage, foundation type, and finish level. We provide transparent written estimates after a free site visit.

How long does it take to build an ADU in Houston?

A garage conversion typically takes 6–10 weeks. A fully detached ADU usually takes 4–6 months from permit approval to move-in ready. We handle every step: design, permits, construction, and final inspection.

Do I need a permit to build an ADU in Houston?

Yes. Houston allows ADUs up to 900 square feet as either attached or detached structures, with a full kitchen and bathroom, and proper setbacks (5 ft rear and side, 15 ft front). We handle all permits and inspections so you don't have to.

Can my HOA stop me from building an ADU?

Maybe — every HOA is different. Many homeowners in your area assume their HOA forbids ADUs, but most have a workable path. We review your community's restrictions during the free site visit and find the cleanest compliant approach.

What size ADU is allowed in Houston?

Houston caps ADUs at 900 square feet as either attached or detached units, as long as the unit includes a full kitchen and bathroom and meets building codes and setback rules. We design within those rules to maximize your usable space.

How much can I rent an ADU for in Houston?

Most Houston ADUs rent for $1,200–$2,500/month depending on size, location, and finish level. A well-built 800 sq ft detached ADU in a good neighborhood often pays for its own build cost within 6–10 years through rental income. We can help you think through the numbers during the free site visit.
