A Safe, Nearby Home for Aging Parents, Without Leaving the Neighborhood You Love

Many Dallas families reach a point where aging parents or loved ones need to be close, yet independent. The challenge is finding a solution that respects your home’s architecture, fits within strict zoning rules, and provides the comfort and privacy your family deserves. Estate ADU was built for this moment. We design, permit, and construct accessory dwelling units, such as casitas, in-law suites, and backyard homes, that align with the character of neighborhoods like Lakewood, East Dallas, Highland Park, Preston Hollow, and University Park. Our team handles every step from feasibility to final build, so you can focus on your family while we deliver a dependable, well-built ADU that feels right at home.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

ADUs are the core of what we do. We design and build high-quality, code-compliant accessory dwelling units that blend seamlessly into established Dallas neighborhoods like Lakewood, East Dallas, University Park, and Preston Hollow. Each structure is tailored to your lot, your architecture, and the needs of the family member who will call it home.

Services

Garage Conversion ADUs

For homes in Lakewood, M Streets, East Dallas, and similar areas where space is tight, we convert existing garages into code-compliant, fully independent living spaces. This option provides a faster, cost-efficient path to creating an in-law suite or secondary dwelling unit.

Services

Home Additions and  Expansions

For homeowners who need more space but do not require a standalone ADU, we offer select home additions and expansions. These projects are taken on selectively and are designed to maintain architectural integrity while increasing usable living space in high-value neighborhoods across Dallas.

Services

Pool & Guest Houses

A familiar approach to ADU living. We design and build custom pool houses and guest houses that function as complete living spaces—ideal for family, guests, or future flexibility—while meeting all Dallas zoning and permitting requirements.

Our Design-Build Process

01 | PLAN AND EVALUATE
We begin with a focused conversation and a site assessment so we can understand your goals, your property, and your timeline. Our team reviews feasibility, zoning considerations, and architectural direction early so you know exactly what is possible on your lot. This stage gives you clarity before investing further and establishes a clear path toward a permitted, buildable ADU.
02 | DESIGN AND APPROVE
Once the direction is set, we coordinate architectural drawings, elevations, and the documents required for city and HOA review. Estate ADU manages communication with reviewers and guides you through each checkpoint so nothing feels uncertain. By the end of this phase, you have approved plans, accurate pricing, and a clear understanding of the next steps.
03 | BUILD AND COMPLETE
With permits secured, construction begins. Our team oversees scheduling, trades, quality, and communication from start to finish. Homeowners receive consistent updates and a predictable experience as the ADU takes shape. The result is a well built, thoughtfully planned accessory dwelling that supports your family’s needs for years to come.

Trusted by Families Across Dallas

Great experience converting a detached garage into a Mother-In-Law Suite. Full kitchen, bathroom, shower and laundry n demand hot water. Punctual and well managed. Jeff and his crews take pride in their work. There was one minor issue with city permitting but it was quickly resolved and was at no fault of EADU. Highly recommend!
