At Home Solutions, we take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. I chose to work in this industry because I have been handed a gift to work my hands early on in life, I have learned a lot working with my father, rsidential and commercial builders I worked my way through learning just about every trade and how they work together. As a result I bring many years of experience to the business, which I pass on to my customers giving them great quality in the work that I do. More than that, after working for a home builder in the Lehigh Valley for 8 years I came to realize it comes down to 1 thing. I love my customers!. We started in this industry in 1980. We describe our business as Family owned and operated Home Improvement Contractor #: PA040229 EXP: 7/15/2024
"Home Solutions did an amazing job bringing our basement vision to a reality. John Z and his team were professional, meticulous, and highly skilled at their craft. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, and completed the basement in just 3 months. Within that time we had a luxury style basement that included a full gym, entertainment area, bar, and walkout with an updated storage area to complete the job. They also installed a sump pump and other requested items that were not a part of the original plan. The new basement increased our property value tremendously, and the quality of work was consistent with our current finishes. We highly recommend “Home Solutions” with John Z if you are considering building or renovating your basement."

We are a general contracting company here to help you with all your windows, doors, siding, remodels and more.
"Gene tore out the old bathroom and installed everything new. He did the plumbing moves, electrical changes, tiling, and painting. He even built new floor to ceiling shelving. He reconfigured the hanging and shelving in two closets in the primary bedroom. Gene was prompt, organized and diligent. The workmanship is excellent. I would recommend Eugene Field to anyone that needs a general contractor and remodeling work done."

In most states, yes—you can build a guest house, but every city or county sets its own zoning rules and building codes. Before breaking ground, check local ordinances, confirm lot setbacks, and secure the right permits. A local contractor or design-build firm can walk you through the paperwork and site requirements so your project starts on solid legal footing.
Yes—homeowners often tap a few different financing tools. A home-equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against your equity as you need funds. If you prefer a lump sum tied directly to the project, a short-term construction loan can roll into a second mortgage once the build is complete. Cash-out refinancing is another option: you replace your current mortgage with a larger one and use the difference to cover construction costs.
When you build a guest house, you’re creating a separate structure for hosting visitors without the full amenities needed for permanent living. An accessory dwelling unit, however, includes a complete kitchen and bathroom, meeting building codes for a long-term residence. This key difference makes an ADU ideal for long-term occupancy or rental income, adding enduring value to your property.
How many rooms you need depends on how you plan to use the space. Aim for one bedroom per every one or two occupants to make sure everyone has enough privacy and comfort. Added living and dining areas give you extra functionality, especially for rental use or long-term stays.
Most homeowners pick somewhere between 600 and 1,500 square feet to fit all the essentials. Make sure your design supports one to two occupants per bedroom and includes enough common areas for comfortable daily living. A well-proportioned layout boosts both functionality and property value.
No—a guest house isn’t just a bump-out on your main home. A bump-out is a small extension within an existing room for extra seating or storage. In contrast, you build a guest house as a standalone building with its own foundation and amenities, giving you a fully separate living area that can boost your property’s versatility and value.
