Arcadia Lite Guest House Contractor 

Custom Guest Homes Built for Comfort and Style

In Arcadia Lite, many homeowners are discovering the value of adding a guest house to their property. Whether you’re hosting family, caring for loved ones, or looking for a flexible rental opportunity, a custom guest house brings lasting value—and smart design can make it feel like an integrated extension of your home.

At Homework Remodels, we design and build custom guest houses in Arcadia Lite that elevate both form and function. We bring over two decades of remodeling experience, a deep knowledge of zoning and permitting requirements in Phoenix, and an award-winning design-build process that makes your guest house vision a seamless reality.

What Is a Guest House?

A guest house (sometimes called a casita, detached suite, or accessory dwelling unit) is a standalone structure separate from your main home. Unlike a traditional addition, it functions as an independent dwelling with its own entrance, often including:

• A bedroom or sleeping space
• A bathroom with a shower or tub
• A small kitchen or kitchenette
• A sitting area or flex room
• Heating, cooling, and full utilities

Depending on the size of your lot and your lifestyle goals, your Arcadia Lite addition can be cozy and compact—or spacious enough for long-term guests, tenants, or multigenerational living.

In Arcadia Lite, where neighborhood charm meets modern living, we’ve helped homeowners create:

• Private suites for visiting family and friends
• Homes for aging parents or adult children
• Rental units for passive income (where permitted)
• Poolside cabanas or entertainment spaces
• Creative studios, work-from-home offices, or wellness retreats
• Short-term vacation rentals (with proper compliance)

Whatever your needs, we tailor every project to your goals, lot configuration, and architectural style.

Why Arcadia Lite Is Ideal for Guest House Additions

Located near Camelback Mountain and just east of 44th Street, Arcadia Lite offers spacious lots, alley access, and an eclectic blend of homes, making it a strong candidate for thoughtful accessory structures. The neighborhood has grown in popularity with families, professionals, and retirees—many of whom are now reimagining their properties to add flexible space for connection and hospitality.

If your home is on a larger lot or corner lot, you may be uniquely positioned to add an accessory dwelling unit with privacy and visual harmony. Our team helps you make the most of these opportunities while staying compliant with Phoenix zoning regulations and building codes.

Our Design-Build Approach 

At Homework Remodels, we handle your entire ADU project from initial concept through final construction. We’re not just builders—we’re your full-service design-build partner.

Here’s how our process works:

1. Discovery & Feasibility:
   We meet with you to understand your goals, walk your property, and assess zoning, lot size, utility access, and setback requirements.
2. Custom Design & Preconstruction:
   We create a design that complements your main home and meets city codes. During preconstruction, we finalize the scope, budget, and permits to ensure a smooth start.
3. Seamless Construction:
   Our in-house team manages every aspect—grading, foundations, plumbing, electrical, framing, HVAC, roofing, finishes, and inspections. You’ll get clear communication, minimal disruption, and outstanding craftsmanship.
4. Move-In Ready Space:
   The result is a beautiful, self-contained space that feels like a natural part of your property—and a wise investment in your future.

Custom Features for Arcadia Lite Guest Houses

We tailor every addition to your needs, but some popular features include:

• Full bathrooms with curbless showers, floating vanities, and high-end tile
• Kitchenettes with microwaves, cooktops, undercounter fridges, and custom cabinetry
• Murphy beds or pull-out furniture to maximize space
• Washer/dryer combos or laundry access
• Private patios or pergolas for outdoor enjoyment
• Clerestory windows for natural light without sacrificing privacy
• Universal design for long-term accessibility

Want your accessory dwelling unit to echo the character of your main home? We match materials, colors, rooflines, and architectural details so everything feels cohesive.

Costs and Considerations

Building a guest house in Arcadia Lite is a major investment, and we believe in full transparency. Most of our projects range from $250,000 to $400,000+, depending on size, site conditions, and finishes.

Factors that influence cost include:

• Lot grading and access
• Utility connections
• Size (square footage and number of rooms)
• Structural complexity
• Interior finishes and cabinetry
• Separate HVAC or plumbing systems

Because accessory dwelling units require all trades and systems of a full-size home, they often cost more per square foot than a standard home addition. That’s why working with an experienced design-build contractor is essential to getting value from every dollar.
