These backyard homes offer a variety of uses and benefits that homeowners are catching onto, now more than ever.

At Carbide Construction, we offer accessory dwelling units, as modular additions. So, if you realize your parents, in-laws or other loved ones need to move in with you, we can easily create the extra space. A modular addition is built off-site so you will have minimal disturbance at your house. The suite can be customized to fit your needs and budget. Once complete, we will attach it to your existing house, creating the private space your family needs.

We also offer detached accessory dwelling units, meaning it is a separate structure not attached to your current house. Whether attached or detached, ADUs and in-law suites provide a great space for others to live independently while still close by.

We will also check zoning requirements. Many of these we already know since modular construction is our specialty in the northern Virginia area.

With an accessory dwelling unit from Carbide Construction, you will get a fully finished space as a modular addition. As always the plan can be customized to meet your specific needs and to work with the space available.
