Bremerton’s housing shortage demands solutions that work within existing neighborhoods. Accessory Dwelling Units offer a practical way to add rental income, house family members, or simply gain more usable square footage on your property.
Renovate Builders has spent 15 years completing over 1000 projects across Washington. Our local team of 25 professionals handles every phase of your ADU project – from initial design through final inspection. We manage zoning compliance with the City of Bremerton, coordinate with utility providers, obtain necessary permits, and build to code. Most importantly, we design spaces that function well and meet all legal requirements.
Whether you need a guest cottage, rental unit, or expanded living space, we’ve built ADUs that work for Bremerton homeowners. Our process starts with understanding your property and your goals, then moves into design, permitting, and construction. We handle the complexity so you don’t have to.
Building an ADU in Bremerton means making smart choices about materials, timeline, and long-term value. We prioritize construction that weathers the Pacific Northwest climate while keeping your budget realistic. Whether you’re adding a backyard cottage, converting garage space, or finishing a basement unit, every project meets code and generates measurable returns – whether through rental income, family living arrangements, or property appreciation.
Detached ADUs are small, independent units built separately from the main home and are also called “backyard cottages”. Have an underused backyard space? You can make it useful through long-term rentals or multigenerational living with the help of detached ADUs. Call us for site planning, custom design, permitting, and full build.
Attached ADUs share at least one wall or structural component with the main home. We also call them home extensions or garage ADUs, as they are usually built over garages or as side additions. Need a space for in-law suites or flexible rental space with shared utilities? This option is for you that adds luxury and comfort to your lifestyle.
Conversion ADUs are garage or basement conversions. We use existing square footage, like basements, attics, or garages, and transform them into livable units. This option is best for fast turnaround and lower cost-per-square-foot, making it ideal for short-term rental or guest suites.
Renovate Builders designs and constructs detached ADUs specifically tailored to Bremerton’s zoning requirements and your property’s layout. Whether you’re planning a studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom unit, we build with your end goal in mind – whether that’s rental income through short or long-term tenancy, Airbnb potential, or accommodating extended family on your property.
Every unit includes a full kitchen, private bathroom, and energy-efficient construction. This combination means lower operating costs and stronger appeal to renters or residents, both of which protect your long-term investment and keep your property competitive in Bremerton’s rental market.
Our garage conversion service transforms an underused space into a legal, livable unit. We handle structural retrofitting, insulation, plumbing, and electrical upgrades. Need home offices, rental units, or guest quarters? Garage conversion is your best cost-effective alternative to new builds. Increase usable square footage and get a strong ROI without expanding outward.
Expand your home’s square footage without moving, with our room addition services. Add bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms, gyms, or office space for your growing family or simple lifestyle upgrade. Our team makes sure that all additions match the existing structure and architecture. Let us help you boost appraisal value and functionality in residential zones.
Second-story additions are perfect for homeowners needing more space without sacrificing yard area. We build up, adding full floors or partial pop-tops to maximize views and living space. This is ideal for land-locked Bremerton neighborhoods, delivering a major property value increase while supporting long-term living without relocating.
For added privacy and flexibility, backyard cottages in Bremerton are a popular choice. These detached living units, also called DADUs or sometimes referred to as in-law suites (when used for extended family housing). Our team completes them with kitchens, bathrooms, and private entrances. Highly useful for families with aging parents, adult children, or renters. Enjoy living independently while increasing property value and long-term rental income.
ADUs generate consistent passive income through short- or long-term rentals. It’s one of the lowest-barrier ways to invest in real estate without buying a second property or moving out.
And if you do relocate, it’s known that Bremerton homes with ADUs consistently sell for more. Buyers value extra rentable space, which means your property stands out in listings.
Adding an ADU gives your property long-term flexibility. Enjoy a livable space for aging parents, adult kids, or a future home office. It adapts to your lifestyle while preserving privacy and personal space.
We evaluate your lot for zoning, access, and size constraints before beginning any design or permitting process.
Our in-house team develops detailed drawings optimized for layout, light, and utility performance before submitting permit applications.
Once approved, our crew begins excavation, foundation, framing, and finishes. You’ll get a fully permitted, move-in-ready ADU or DADU.
Whether you want premium finishes or need a cheap, affordable option, we offer scalable design-build solutions without sacrificing quality. From zoning headaches to DADU footings, we solve it, manage it, and finish it, because that’s what the best ADU builders Bremerton should do.
ADU costs range from $100,000 to $350,000+, but the exact price depends on the size, layout, location, and type (like garage conversion or detached unit). Call us for a custom quote!
