Why Kansas City Homeowners Are Building ADUs
Accessory Dwelling Units have become one of the smartest investments for Kansas City homeowners. Whether you want rental income to offset your mortgage, need a place for aging parents to live independently nearby, or want a dedicated home office separate from your main house, an ADU delivers.
"ADUs are changing how families use their property. I've built ADUs for parents who want their elderly mother close but independent, for young couples who use rental income to afford their first home, and for remote workers who need a real separation between work and home. Every ADU project is different, but they all add tremendous value."
As experienced Kansas City ADU contractors, we understand the local regulations, building requirements, and design considerations that make ADU projects successful. We've built in-law suites and ADUs throughout the metro area and can guide you through the entire process.
Types of ADUs We Build
Garage conversions are often the most cost-effective ADU option. We transform attached or detached garages into complete living units with bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchenettes, and HVAC. Your existing structure becomes a valuable asset.
Attached ADUs add onto your existing home but maintain complete independence with separate entrances. This option works well when lot constraints prevent detached construction and you want to maximize your property's footprint.
Detached ADUs are standalone structures built separately from your main home. These provide maximum privacy for both the homeowner and ADU occupant, making them ideal for rental units or situations where independence is paramount.
Modern ADU living space with full amenities and natural light
ADU Investment & Rental Income Potential
Kansas City ADUs generate strong rental income. A well-designed ADU can rent for $800-$1,500 monthly depending on size, location, and amenities. This income can significantly offset your mortgage, fund retirement, or provide financial flexibility.
Beyond rental income, ADUs add substantial property value. Most homeowners see 60-80% return on their ADU investment through increased home value. Properties with income-generating ADUs are increasingly attractive to buyers.
We design ADUs with rental appeal in mind - private entrances, efficient layouts, quality finishes, and proper sound separation from the main home. Whether you plan to rent immediately or in the future, your ADU will be market-ready.

Richard & Nancy Palmer
Overland Park, KS
"We converted our detached garage into an ADU for rental income. Bob handled the permits, which were complicated, and delivered a beautiful unit. We now get $1,200/month rent that covers most of our mortgage. Best investment we've made!"
Teresa Nguyen
Lee's Summit, MO
"Built an attached ADU so my mother could live independently but close by. Coulston Construction designed it perfectly - separate entrance, full kitchen, accessible bathroom. Mom loves her space and I have peace of mind. Highly recommend!"
Mark & Jennifer Adams

"We built a detached ADU in our backyard for our college-age son. The process was smooth from design through permitting to construction. Now that he's moved out, we rent it and the income is fantastic. Bob's team did amazing work."
