Custom Guest & In-Law Suite Additions

Guest suite additions add value and convenience

Guest suite additions (also known as in-law suites or secondary bedroom suites) make sense for many families in the Charlotte, NC, area – whether older children are returning home from college, aging parents require extra care at home, or even if a spouse snores or has special medical needs. Because family dynamics and economic realities are changing, these additional, flexible living spaces are in high demand in new custom homes and remodeling projects and are likely to become more so for the foreseeable future.

Licensed professional guest suite remodeler

Guest room additions and mother-in-law suites are too complex to trust to anyone but a qualified, professional Charlotte, NC, remodeler. These spaces involve tying into existing HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems as well as the structure of your home. Plus, the best guest suite additions should look as if they are not additions at all but have always been an integral part of your home!

There are many creative ways to “borrow” space for mother-in-law guest suites. Among the spaces we like to use are:

  • Unfinished attic space
  • Bonus room conversions
  • Garage conversions
  • Adding a second floor above the garage
  • A “true” home addition that adds new square footage from the foundation up
