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!
