What is a DADU?
A DADU (Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a separate living space on a property with an existing single-family home. DADUs offer benefits like rental income, increased property value, and flexible living options.
An ADU can serve a homeowner in the same ways, but the difference is that the ADU is attached to the single family home. The State of Washington is prioritizing DADUs, and Tacoma has been a leader in embracing these projects, allowing them on both owner-occupied and investor properties.

TESTIMONIALS
I have worked with many builders over the years and would recommend them to anyone. Customer service was excellent. They were on time, checked daily on the progress of the build and were reliable. I was given a price; they kept me on budget and did everything they said they would. I am thrilled to provide a stellar review. [ADU Client]
Gordon T Jacob’s converted an old garage space into a gorgeous cottage, they worked with me on my design ideas and best of all kept me within and on my budget! So happy I found this awesome company!
This was my first time building a detached ADU from ground up in Tacoma WA. When I was researching different builders, I ultimately decided to work with Chris because (1) He is extremely knowledgeable about the process and gives you an honest answer (2) He is very responsive (3) He knows the Tacoma market (4) Most importantly he understood my goal and provided guidance instead of just saying yes to everything I asked for. His estimates were pretty accurate. We kept to the schedule and budget. I really enjoyed working with his team especially Kurt, the site superintendent, who was very receptive and overall nice to work with. I highly recommend Chris and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.
I recently had a DADU built in the property behind my home. The quality is amazing. I’ve had families visit from Airbnb, and they have given five stars, on the house. They loved the layout, the updated appliances, and the quality. Everyone working on the home was communicative, respectful, and did a great job keeping me updated, connected and encouraging my input on style and final decisions. I strongly recommend using this company!
