How to Add Value to Your Property with an ADU Remodel

Adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your property is one of the smartest ways to boost your home’s value. Whether it’s a garage conversion, a backyard cottage, or a basement remodel, ADUs create new opportunities for living space and rental income. 

At Elegant Designer, our team of ADU builders and remodel specialists helps homeowners turn unused spaces into beautiful, functional units. Let’s explore how an ADU remodel can add value to your property and why it’s worth considering. 

What is an ADU Remodel?

An ADU remodel involves converting or upgrading part of your property—like a garage, attic, or basement—into a livable, independent unit. It’s often equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and separate entrance, making it a fully functional space for family members or tenants. 

Types of ADU remodels include: 

Garage Conversions

Turn unused garages into cozy living spaces. 

Basement ADUs

Use your basement as a rental unit or guest suite. 

Detached ADUs

Build a standalone unit in your backyard.

With Elegant Designer, our expert team ensures every remodel balances style, functionality, and compliance with local building codes.

Why an ADU Remodel Adds Property Value

More square footage means higher property value. 

✓ Generates Rental Income

An ADU can be rented out, creating a steady income stream. 

✓ Attracts Buyers

Homes with ready-to-use ADUs often sell faster and at a better price. 

✓ Flexible Use

ADUs are perfect for guest accommodations, home offices, or multigenerational living.
