In-Law Suite Ideas For Your Property

By / Renovation Tips / No Comments

In-law suites aren’t just for hiding from your mother-in-law. In-law suites are the perfect solution to creating privacy whilst still being able to have guests visit, for either long or short term. With a fully functioning apartment to house your guests, everyone is happy and more comfortable. Read on to discover in-law suite ideas for your home!

What Exactly Is an In-Law Suite?

An in-law suite is simply an addition built to a pre-existing home to accommodate guests, or in some cases, family. Whether you have family living with you for an extended period of time out of choice or necessity, an in-law suite allows you to maintain privacy and for your guests to feel comfortable, while not getting in your way. This is an excellent way to support your family or guests while maintaining your sanity.

In-law suites will vary based on your personal preferences, but most come equipped with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchenette. Depending on the layout of your home, an in-law suite can easily be built to work with your home aesthetically and naturally. There are hundreds of in-law suite plans to build as an addition for your home, you just need to be sure you’re hiring the right team to do your work.

Consider Building an In-Law Suite Above Your Garage:

An easy way to create additional space on your property for guests to enjoy privacy and comfortability is by an in-law suite addition built right over your garage. Not all garages are created equally, of course. Some garages don’t have the structural integrity to accommodate an in-law suite addition, however, if you have a sizable garage with a solid foundation, a contractor could get moving on renovation plans for adding a level to your garage if possible, or converting your garage into a beautiful in-law suite for you in no time.

More In-Law Suite Ideas:

Another exciting way to make your new in-law suite count is to rent it out to a tenant for either a  short or long term lease, depending on your personal preference. If your in-law suite is private enough with its own entrance and fully detached from your home, having a tenant can make a great deal of sense. 

If you’re a homeowner, it’s never a bad idea to capitalize on your space and make the most of your investment. By adding an in-law suite addition to your house, you’re opening you and your family up to the opportunity to make more money. In-law additions also make for convenient accommodations for your family’s caretakers, whether it’s live-in nannies or hospice workers.

Does an In-Law Suite Add Value to My Property?

Building an in-law suite on your property adds incredible value, particularly in California. As far as resale value goes, you’ve now created a full other bedroom and kitchen, increasing your home’s current value. If you’re going forward with building an in-law suite on your property, be sure you’re going with the right people for the job, as a poorly done in-law suite will not do you favors now or when you go to sell your home in the future. 

With years of experience, the team at A-List Builders will guarantee you a job well done. They are equipped with years of experience and have no shortage of in-law suite ideas for you and your family to increase value to your home and you and your guests feel more comfortable.

Our clients believe in us.

Here is what a few of them say.

  • Kobi R.

    It’s been years since I’ve done any work to my home so I was nervous about the whole project. Thankfully, I found a company that not only provided me with a patient ( I am very particular) and punctual contractor, Rani, but the job came out better than I expected. After doing such an amazing job on the kitchen, I expressed to Rani that I would like to do some more work with him but money, unfortunately, doesn’t grow on trees. Fortunately, Rani found an affordable way for me to redo all the bathrooms and flooring throughout the house.

  • Beverly S.

    Our initial meeting with Rani was excellent due to him giving us information and ideas we hadn’t thought of. He returned a week later with a presentation for our kitchen. Again, we were surprised at his additional ideals and his presentation. We had previously had two of the big-box stores come out so we had an idea of cost. Rani was more reasonable and offered us better and more creative ideas. Our kitchen is completed and we feel we qualify for Better Homes & Gardens. We would recommend our experience and job to everyone.

  • Warren M.

    After about a year and a half after we remodeled our bathroom, we had some minor electrical issues and reached out to A-List Builders. Ben followed up consistently and in a timely manner until my needed repair work was done.

  • Debbie W.

    Everyone was professional, nice and knowledgeable. I am so happy with their work and I will be using them again for my next project. In addition, I will be referring them (which I don't do unless I completely trust a job well done) to my family and friends. Thank you, again, for such a positive experience.

  • Deborah B.

    I hired A-List for a large restoration project. The project involved wall replacement with framing & drywall, stucco, exterior & interior painting, foundation reinforcement, a new exterior gate, fence repair, brick & tile walkways. Ben was the only contractor I interviewed who recommended that an engineer inspect the foundation as part of the evaluation process. Megan cheerfully worked through the process with my insurance company. All of the on-site workers were a pleasure to work with. They arrived early, were professional, & kept the work-site clean & organized...even the city inspector commented positively about A-List's knowledge & organization. A-List Builders did a great job & their follow-up was excellent.

  • Lou D.

    Like so many people in LA we bought a fixer upper. Over the last 5 years we have searched intently for a contractor we could trust. Never has a contractor come on our property that affected us the way Ben and Megan from A-List Builders have. They immediately understood our needs and made brilliant suggestions. They answered every question, every call, and it was such a difference dealing with them than any company we've ever hired before. They did not waste a minute of our time, nor did they try to get us to do more than we wanted. Their pricing is more than fair. They are so good at what they do and completely trustworthy and make hard things much easier. There actually IS a really good General Contractor out there and a company that does all that it promises and more.

    I used A-List Builders for my Bathroom Remodel and my bathroom is more beautiful now than I could have ever imagined...I met with Ben who gave me a free estimate for the job and knew right away that A-List Builders was the company I was going to use for the job. Their estimate was fair, and their communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. I always knew there was going to be someone else on the other line if I needed to get a hold of them for any reason. Their workers were true pros that did an immaculate job, excellent craftmanship and very good at keeping the renovation area very clean. I absolutely love my new bathroom and have already recommended them to two of my friends. Truly a great experience!
