The answer is likely yes!
Due to the new laws in Colorado no cities, counties, or HOA’s will be allowed to deny ADU’s.
This depends on your property but it is something our site expert can answer for you!
That’s a great question!
We switched from our ADU’s being modular and on wheels to being stick built for three primary reasons.
1. The quality and longevity of our builds weren’t what we wanted before stick built.
2. If they are modular/on wheels, they are not considered dwellings, so you don’t see the value added to your property compared to a stick built ADU.
3. Stick built ADUs allow us to tailor specifically to your property, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic.
The average monthly rent for our ADU’s is $2,000-$3,000 and increase your property value 20-40%.
