Housing shortages and income gaps are presenting unique challenges for homeowners or potential homeowners. That’s where an ADU contractor in Lynnwood may be able to help. Here at Cruvers Contracting, our ADU contractors provide a unique way to generate some extra income or give your family extra space while maintaining separate living quarters.

What Is An ADU?

ADU stands for accessory dwelling unit. This means adding space, such as a stand-alone unit, or even revamping your basement into a place for someone to live. Usually, these units contain kitchens, separate entrances from the main dwelling, and living space. This allows homeowners to either care for an aging loved one, have a space for a recent graduate, or offer rental income as they can rent to other tenants.

Benefits

This type of addition to your current property can add a variety of benefits. First, you’ll increase property value. When future owners are looking for space, they want to know they have options should they need them in the future. Second, you can take care of a loved one or keep family close while everyone has their own space. Nothing is more frustrating to an aging loved one than to feel like they are smothered and have no independence. With this type of addition, they can have you close by while still remaining independent.

Third, you can easily have a second source of income by renting the space out. You can help with the housing shortage, and income boosts for yourself all at the same time.
