Casitas, Cabanas, and Granny Flats, Oh My

Do you want to invite some friends or family from out of town to stay but don’t want to give up any real estate in your home? Or perhaps aging parents need to move in but still want to retain their own space. Either way, you’re looking for the hero of modern home design we call the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Or, if you’re feeling fancy, the casita, cabinita, guest house, granny flat, or simply, the backyard boss upgrade.

Here at Justice Homes, we’re not just building houses—we’re crafting possibilities. Specifically, custom-built ADUs right on your property that can do almost everything except make your morning coffee.

Whether you want a cozy corner for grandma, a sleek home office that’s not also your laundry room, or a cute Airbnb side hustle, we’ve got you covered—literally.

What Is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)?

Great question! An ADU is a smaller, independent structure built on the same lot as your primary home. Think of it as the peanut butter to your home’s jelly. It’s charming. It’s useful. It’s the kind of thing that makes neighbors go, “Wait, why didn’t we do that?!”

Why Build One with Justice Homes?

Because we know what we’re doing—seriously. At Justice Homes, we don’t do cookie-cutter. We custom-design every ADU to suit your unique lifestyle, backyard vibes, and Pinterest board dreams.

Want a modern home office with tons of natural light and a sliding glass door? We can do that. Need a private guest house that feels like a 5-star staycation spot for your in-laws (and also maybe you when you need a nap)? We can do that, too. Thinking about creating a long-term rental unit for extra income or a comfy spot for college kids back from campus? Oh, you know we can make that happen.

For the Grannies, the Guests & the Gig Economy

Some people call them granny flats, but these babies are for everyone:

• Grandma & Grandpa: Give them independence with comfort and closeness.
• Frequent Guests: No more sofa beds and awkward breakfast schedules.
• Remote Workers: Your new commute? 10 steps across the lawn.
• Rental Revenue Rockstars: Say hello to passive income with style.

Basically, ADUs are like the Swiss Army knife of real estate—compact, powerful, and wildly versatile.

The Justice Homes Difference

We’re not just slapping a tiny house in your backyard and calling it a day. We’re here to collaborate, customize, and create a mini masterpiece that flows with your property and your lifestyle. From sleek studio vibes to cottagecore charm, we’ll bring your vision to life with care and craftsmanship.

And yes, we’ll also help you navigate the less-fun stuff like zoning, permits, and utility connections—because dreaming should never get bogged down in red tape.
