Massachusetts Expands Homeowner Rights: ADUs Now Allowed

 As of February 2, 2025, Massachusetts law now allows ADUs up to 900 sq ft to be built by-right in single-family zones — eliminating the need for special permits and making ADUs more accessible to homeowners statewide.  * Some towns may have restrictions

What Is an ADU?

Licensed & Insured General Contractor

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (sometimes called an in-law suite, granny flat, or backyard cottage) is a smaller, self-contained residential unit built on the same property as your main home. ADUs can be attached, detached, or converted spaces within existing structures such as garages or basements.


They include essential living features—kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area, and separate entrance—providing privacy and independence while staying close to family.


Types of ADUs We Build

We offer a variety of design options tailored to your property, lifestyle, and budget:

  • Detached ADU: A stand-alone structure, ideal for guest houses or rental income. 
  • Attached ADU: An addition connected to your main home, often used for extended family living. 
  • Garage Conversion: Transform your unused garage into a livable apartment or studio.
     
  • Basement ADU: Maximize existing space by creating a lower-level suite with private access and egress. 


Many homeowners ask: “Can I build an ADU in Pembroke or Plymouth, MA?” — the answer is yes, with proper design, permits, and construction handled by our experienced team.

ADUs vs In-Law Suites

Are ADUs and In-Law Suites the Same Thing?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is the official, legal term used in Massachusetts for a secondary residential unit built on the same property as a primary home. It has its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and a separate entrance.  

  • All in-law suites are ADUs, 
  • But not all ADUs are in-law suites — some are used as rental units, guest houses, or home offices.

In-Law Suite

An In-Law Suite is the most common type of ADU — usually built to provide independent living space for family members, such as parents or adult children. 

Egress Windows, Safety & Compliance

Massachusetts requires specific safety measures for basement and attached ADUs. We install egress windows and separate entryways to ensure your new living space meets all code requirements.

Our team handles everything—from design and permitting to construction and final inspection—so you can enjoy a seamless experience.
