Stick-built ADUs, whether newly constructed or garage conversion, are built with the same craftsmanship and attention to today’s building codes as your main house. With a traditional building method, you know exactly what to expect in terms of quality and durability. Lenders are typically familiar with this approach, making financing more straightforward. Appraisers will also have an easier time evaluating the structure, whether you’re selling or refinancing. Once the plan is permitted, you can be confident that it meets Colorado’s energy efficiency standards and is designed to withstand the state’s diverse weather conditions.
