Stage 1: Envisioning the Perfect ADU with Design Flexibility

To begin with, the first step in transforming your backyard is understanding what’s possible. Current modern ADU design trends emphasize multi-purpose spaces that cater to diverse needs—whether it’s a guesthouse, a home office, or a rental unit. Our role as your ADU Builder is to help you visualize how an ADU can maximize your property’s potential. Explore ADU construction projects to see our completed transformations.

For example, Spokane homeowners often face challenges with limited lot sizes. Our expert team uses innovative design strategies to ensure that every square foot is optimized. In addition, features like open floor plans, loft spaces, and large windows create an illusion of spaciousness without expanding the footprint. One client shared, “Schaff Homes designed an ADU that feels twice the size inside, thanks to their smart layout and natural light solutions.”

Key features in modern designs include:

• Multi-use furniture and built-in storage
• Biophilic elements to blend indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly

Stage 2: Addressing Spokane-Specific Building Challenges

In particular, building an ADU in Spokane involves unique considerations, including zoning regulations and climate factors. As a Spokane General Contractor with extensive local experience, Schaff Homes handles these challenges proactively. For instance, Spokane’s variable weather requires durable materials that can withstand both cold winters and hot summers. As a result, our team ensures your ADU is built with high-performance insulation and weather-resistant exteriors.

Moreover, navigating Spokane’s permitting process can be complex. We simplify this step by managing all documentation, ensuring compliance with city codes. This streamlines your project timeline and minimizes unexpected delays.

Stage 3: Completing Your Backyard Transformation

Next, once construction begins, the transformation truly takes shape. Consequently, modern ADUs often include sleek finishes and high-tech features designed for long-term comfort. At Schaff Homes, we prioritize quality craftsmanship to ensure that every detail aligns with your vision.
