Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are compact, independent living spaces built on the same lot as a primary residence, offering versatile housing solutions. Thanks to recent state-law changes in Massachusetts, effective February 2, 2025, homeowners across the state (with some exceptions, such as specific regulations in Boston that we’re exploring further) can now construct or convert ADUs that meet the law’s size and criteria without the need for special permits in single-family zones. This progressive legislation aims to boost housing availability, particularly for renters, family members, and homeowners seeking rental income or space for caregivers and relatives.
As a relatively new opportunity in Massachusetts, this law opens exciting possibilities for homeowners and skilled builders alike. At Monroy’s Carpenters, Inc., based in Waltham, MA, we’re eager to help you capitalize on this trend. With over 15 years of combined experience in deck building, home additions, and custom carpentry, our team, led by Omar Monroy, is ready to design and construct high-quality ADUs tailored to your needs. While we haven’t built any ADUs yet, we’re actively discussing this new venture with our experts to ensure we deliver top-notch craftsmanship. Whether you’re converting a garage, attic, or basement, or building a detached cottage, we’ve got you covered.
This is your chance to enhance your property’s value, generate rental income, or provide a comfortable space for loved ones.
