Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to remodel a home for multigenerational living?

What is the average cost to add an in-law suite or accessory dwelling unit?

How do you add a separate entrance, kitchen, or bathroom for an in-law suite?

Plan a private suite with a separate entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and living area. An accessory dwelling unit is typically an independent unit with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom; an attached layout can also include an interior connection to the main home.

What are common mistakes and safety risks in multigenerational home remodeling?

Make sure the conversion complies with local regulations and building and safety codes, and consult professionals and local officials about permits. Safety-focused features can include zero-step entrances, grab bars, non-slip flooring, and motion-sensor lighting.

How can a home be remodeled for aging in place and accessibility?

Consider zero-step entrances, wide doorways and hallways, curbless showers with grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, lowered countertops, and motion-sensor lighting. Placing primary and secondary suites on the first floor can also support main-level living.
