ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)

More Space, More Possibilities with an ADU

Need extra space but don’t want to move? An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) could be the perfect solution. Whether you’re looking for a rental unit for extra income, a private in-law suite, or a comfortable space for guests, an ADU gives you more flexibility while increasing your home’s value.

At Akaza Builders, we make the process simple and stress-free—from securing permits to building a space that fits naturally with your property. Whether it’s a detached ADU, garage conversion, or basement apartment, we design and build with durability and practicality in mind, so your space works for you for years to come.

We proudly build ADUs in Grafton, North Grafton, South Grafton, Upton, Millbury, Milford, Worcester, Northborough, Framingham, Shrewsbury, and surrounding areas. If you’re thinking about adding an ADU, let’s talk and see how we can make it happen!

What to expect:

Consultation:

We start by understanding your vision—whether it’s a detached ADU, in-law suite, or garage conversion. Our team listens to your goals to create a space that fits your lifestyle, needs, and property layout.

Design and Planning:

We design a custom ADU layout that fits naturally with your home, focusing on both functionality and aesthetics. From efficient floor plans to energy-saving features, we create a space designed for comfort and long-term value.

With our client project hub, you’ll always know what’s happening, with real-time updates and clear communication at every stage.

Final Touches:

The last details make all the difference. From installing fixtures and finishes to painting and trim work, we ensure every aspect of your ADU is polished and move-in ready. Before we hand over the keys, we do a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations—because the job isn’t done until you love your new space.

Signs It’s Time to Build an ADU

Not sure if an ADU is right for your property? Here are some key signs it might be the perfect solution:

  • You Need More Space for Family – Whether it’s for aging parents, adult children, or guests, an ADU provides independent yet connected living.
  • You Want to Generate Passive Income – ADUs are a great way to create rental income without major property renovations.
  • Your Home Office or Studio Needs a Dedicated Space – Remote work is here to stay. An ADU gives you a quiet, productive environment.
  • Your Property Has Underutilized Space – Converting a garage, basement, or backyard area into an ADU optimizes your property’s footprint.
  • You’re Planning for the Future – An ADU can serve different purposes over time—from rental to guest house to downsizing solution in retirement.

We specialize in custom ADU construction in Grafton, Upton, Millbury, Westborough, Sutton, and beyond, helping homeowners maximize their property’s potential.
