About Our ADU Construction Services

Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) have become one of the most sought-after home improvements in the Vancouver, WA market. With rising housing costs and changing family dynamics, ADUs offer homeowners a versatile way to add living space, generate rental income, or accommodate multigenerational families — all while increasing overall property value.

Washington state has been a national leader in ADU-friendly legislation, with recent laws streamlining the permitting process and removing many of the barriers that previously made ADU construction difficult. Vancouver and Clark County have embraced these changes, making it easier than ever for homeowners to add an ADU to their property. GVX Remodeling stays current on all local zoning requirements, setback rules, and building codes to ensure your project moves forward smoothly.

The financial benefits of an ADU are substantial. Homeowners in the Vancouver area can expect rental income of $1,500 to $2,500 per month from a well-designed unit, and studies show that ADUs can increase overall property value by 20-30%. Beyond the numbers, ADUs provide flexible living options — a private space for aging parents, a home office, a guest suite, or a launchpad for adult children.

GVX Remodeling brings decades of design-build expertise to every ADU project. From initial site assessment and architectural design to permitting, construction, and final inspection, we manage the entire process. Our team designs ADUs that complement your existing home's architecture while maximizing livable space, natural light, and energy efficiency.

Detached ADUs typically range from $200,000 to $400,000 or more depending on square footage and complexity. Attached ADUs generally cost $150,000 to $300,000 since they share structural elements with the main home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the size limits for ADUs in Vancouver, WA?

In Vancouver and Clark County, ADUs are generally allowed up to 800-1,000 square feet depending on your lot size and zoning district. Recent Washington state legislation has expanded allowances in many areas. During our consultation, we review your specific property to determine the maximum allowable size and configuration.

What zoning and permits are required for an ADU?

ADU construction requires building permits from the City of Vancouver or Clark County, including structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits. Zoning regulations govern setbacks, height limits, and parking requirements. GVX Remodeling handles all permitting and ensures your ADU complies with current regulations.

Can I rent out my ADU in Vancouver, WA?

Yes, ADUs can be rented out in Vancouver, WA. Washington state law prohibits owner-occupancy requirements for ADUs in most cases, giving you flexibility to rent the main home or the ADU. Short-term rental regulations vary, so we recommend checking current City of Vancouver policies for platforms like Airbnb.

How long does ADU construction take?

ADU construction timelines vary by type. Garage conversions typically take 3-4 months. Attached ADUs generally require 4-6 months. Detached ADUs take 5-8 months from permit approval to completion. The permitting process adds 4-8 weeks before construction begins. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
