Lodgewick ADU Builders handles accessory dwelling units, garage conversions, and home additions across Dallas, TX. An ADU is a second, smaller home built on the same lot as your main house. Dallas jobs run into specific realities: clay soil that shifts with drought and rain, older pier-and-beam homes inside Loop 12, and HOAs in neighborhoods like Lake Highlands that have their own design rules. We put every price in writing before work starts. Call (361) 204-4652 for a free estimate.
Why Dallas Homes Are Different
Dallas housing is a split between pre-1960s brick ranches and fast-built 1990s and 2000s suburban frames. The older stock, common in areas like Casa View and parts of Oak Cliff, often sits on pier-and-beam foundations that need leveling before an addition or garage conversion can tie in cleanly. The soil underneath a lot of Dallas is expansive clay. It moves between wet and dry seasons, which is why we check slab conditions and drainage before quoting any build. Slab homes in Far North Dallas and Preston Hollow tend to be newer, but HOA covenants there frequently dictate setbacks, exterior materials, and even roof pitch on a detached ADU. The city of Dallas requires permits for any ADU, garage conversion, or addition, and the process runs through the Sustainable Development and Construction department. Our crews coordinate scheduling from the Dallas-Fort Worth office, so permit runs and inspections happen without the homeowner chasing paperwork. Summers also shape how we work here. Foundation pours, framing, and roofing all get scheduled around 100-degree stretches, and we order materials like James Hardie siding and roof underlayment early so heat doesn’t slow the job.
Our Main Dallas Services
Most Dallas homeowners call us about one of three projects. Each has its own dedicated Dallas page with local pricing and process details.
Home Addition Contractor in Dallas
A home addition in Dallas means adding a bedroom, bathroom, or a full primary suite onto the existing footprint. On pier-and-beam lots in East Dallas, we often add an under-floor inspection to the first site visit because shifting clay can change the plan for tie-in points. On slab homes in places like North Dallas, the bigger question is usually how the roofline meets the new section without looking bolted on. We handle the permit drawings, the HOA submission package if one applies, and the build itself. Written price first, guaranteed in writing. See the full breakdown on our Home Addition Contractor in Dallas page.
Garage Conversion Contractor in Dallas
Garage conversions turn an attached or detached garage into heated, cooled living space. In Dallas, the detached two-car garages behind 1950s homes in neighborhoods like Lakewood and Casa Linda are prime candidates. The work involves insulating, running electrical and HVAC, replacing the garage door with a wall and windows, and usually reworking the driveway. Attached conversions in suburban areas like Richardson and Garland face a different issue: making the converted room feel connected to the house rather than a former parking bay. We manage the full permit and inspection path through the city. Details live on our Garage Conversion Contractor in Dallas page.
ADU Builders in Dallas
ADU builders in Dallas handle a second dwelling on your lot: a detached backyard unit, a JADU (junior accessory dwelling unit, typically a converted section of the main house with its own entrance), or a prefab unit from a manufacturer like Boxabl or Plant Prefab. Dallas zoning generally allows one ADU per single-family lot, but setbacks, lot coverage, and design standards vary by neighborhood and overlay district. We walk each lot before quoting, and every quote is written and fixed. Read our ADU Builders in Dallas page for the full scope and pricing.

What Dallas Customers Say
"I was nervous about adding on but they walked me through every step and every cost before we started. No surprise change orders halfway through like I'd heard horror stories about."
- Eleanor Pratt"Garage conversion into an office and guest room. Fair written price, finished close to on schedule, and they fixed a small drywall crack under warranty months later without any hassle."
- Diana Cho"Solid build on a home addition. The permit stage dragged, which held things up a few weeks. They were upfront it was out of their hands and the construction itself moved fast and clean."
- Douglas Fenwick
