We don't just build backyard homes. We design them to be the most luxurious and functional living spaces in your neighborhood!

Multigenerational Living


Being a top-rated home builder in the area, we have created Accessory Dwelling Units that fall under the category of Multigenerational Living, a home where more than two generations of the same family live at the same address.


Multigenerational housing, or next-generation housing, has gained in popularity in recent years. Families can stay close to each other and utilize financial resources more efficiently.


Multigenerational Living is also a great solution for families that need help with babysitting or for parents who live alone. We can design it for you, and ELS HOMEBUILDERS can work with you to find the perfect layout.


Mother-In-Law-Suite


Mother-in-Law-Suites are common conversions for a parent to move into. This is the reasoning behind the name. Any basement or garage can be converted into a guesthouse, or a detached guesthouse could be built.


This type of living quarters usually comes with a kitchen and bathroom, so everyone has their own space and privacy. This is a good solution for an aging parent or a nanny who is needed on-site.

Rental income can be generated from this space instead when it is used as a rental property. Don't let the name fool you; it doesn't have to be your mother-in-law who lives here.




ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS can also be rented to paying guests, either on a short-term or long-term basis.

 The demand for Accessory Dwelling Units is increasing.

If you need custom homes or a rental income addition to your current property, ELS HOMEBUILDERS can help.


While other builders are just beginning to learn about ADUs, we have extensive experience and expertise in them. An ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT offers many benefits. We'll explain these to you and then build and design the perfect one for you.


Granny Flats


There are several types of ADUs, as you probably already know. The granny flat is one common type.

In essence, it's a self-contained living area that is usually located on the grounds of a single-family home and is typically used for aging parents to move into.

Sometimes it is detached from another residence, but it can also be attached. The granny flat can also be considered a tiny home.

Custom ADU - Accessory Dwelling Unit

  • ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS: what they are and why individuals build them

    An ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT is a truly simple and old concept: having a 2nd small dwelling right on the very same premises (or attached to) your single-family home, such as:


    • a house over the garage
    • a tiny house (on a foundation) in the yard
    • a basement living space

    ADUs might be an old idea but they're returning, and they have lots of names. Planners call them ADUs (ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS), but they're also known as granny flats, in-law units, laneway houses, secondary dwelling units, and a hundred other names.


    People construct them for a number of reasons, however the most typical objectives, according to one research study, are getting income through leasing and providing a place for a relative to live.


    Numerous individuals buy homes and live in them for years, their actual needs alter over time. Many American homes are too big for 1- or 2-person homes, which is too bad, since size is most likely the most significant single element in the environmental effect of a home.


    If you have actually a good sized house, and a fairly good sized ADU, you've most likely got a quite ecological combination with some social benefits too. You could have your best friend, your mom, or your grown kid, reside with you. This kind of flexibility and casual assistance could really help as the nation's population ages. The majority of people wish to stay in their homes as they age, but finances and style can be problematic. An ADU might help aging people satisfy their requirements without having to move.


    In lots of localities you can get legal rental income from a permitted ADU, or, if you want, you can live in the ADU and rent the other dwelling. Either way, the financial, and ecological benefits are obvious.
