"Extremely disappointed I deeply regret choosing this company for my sunroom project. The room started leaking not long after it was installed, and instead of taking responsibility, they’ve been quick to place blame on everything but their poor craftsmanship. They’ve pointed fingers at my roof, the nails, and even the shingles—completely unrelated issues—just to avoid admitting fault. To make matters worse, their responsiveness has been appalling. It took months of relentless calls and emails just to get them to show up and inspect the issue. When they finally did, their solution was to deflect yet again rather than address the real problem. The entire experience has been frustrating and disheartening. If you’re considering working with this company, think twice. I wouldn’t wish this kind of stress and disappointment on anyone."

"I first met Santos Velasquez when we requested a quote for creating an apartment from a garage. He was very professional and arrived on schedule. It was a large project, building a barn to replace the garage space, and creating a one bedroom apartment in it's place. He took pictures and notes. Santos called within a few days and recommended we involve an architect and scheduled a time to meet her. Again, they arrived on time. Shari Mullins, with pillar3, agreed to make some drawings. These proved to be exactly what we wanted! The process was not speedy. We discovered the septic system needed to be replaced and the plumbing system was dissolving. We decided to add a bathroom and a closet to the room above the garage. Santos and Shari worked together, finding the right specialists and contractors, keeping the permits on schedule and the work moving forward. They were professional. They always responded quickly to calls, texts and emails. They were always here when they said they would be here. They listened to concerns and addressed them immediately, willing to make adjustments and improvements as needed. They put an effort into finding the best quality materials we could afford. They kept the contractors on schedule and handled any disputes. We didn't have to worry about anything. It took about a year, but we love the results and have no regrets! It did cost more than expected due to pre-existing conditions and upgrade decisions. Santos and Shari both take great pride in their work and I would recommend them for any project, both personal and commercial.

Guest house building services FAQs
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.
