Expert ADU Construction in Chelan, WA

ADU construction in Chelan gives homeowners a practical way to add a fully independent living unit to their existing lot. Upland Builders handles the full scope of work, from site evaluation and design coordination to framing, utilities, and final finishes. We build detached backyard units, attached additions, and garage conversions, depending on what your property allows. Chelan's housing market is tight. Affordable housing ranked as the top concern among Lake Chelan Valley residents in the 2024 Lake Chelan Vision Project survey. An ADU on your property helps address that directly, whether you plan to house a family member, bring in rental income, or create a private workspace. Under Washington's HB 1337, Chelan now allows up to two ADUs per residential lot, which opens more options for most single-family properties. Chelan County also enforces the Washington State Energy Code and local setback standards, so working with a builder who knows those requirements matters. Call Upland Builders to talk through what your lot can support.

Common questions about adu construction in Chelan, WA.

Yes, Chelan allows up to two ADUs on a single residential lot under Washington's HB 1337. Upland Builders can evaluate your specific lot to confirm what your zoning district allows.

We build detached backyard units, attached ADUs, and garage conversions in Chelan. The right type depends on your lot size, setbacks, and how you plan to use the space.

Washington's HB 1337 removed owner-occupancy requirements for ADUs statewide, including in Chelan. You do not need to live on-site to add an ADU to your property.

We build to Chelan County and Washington State standards, including the Washington State Energy Code and local setback rules. Our process accounts for those requirements before construction begins.

ADU size limits in Chelan typically fall in the 800 to 1,000 square foot range, depending on your zoning district. Upland Builders will confirm the exact limit for your property during the site review.

My company recently did some work for Riley on one of his projects. He was professional and easy to communicate with. Look forward to working on future projects together.

Upland Builders came out to take care of a difficult project on our house. Riley was extremely professional and he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the work he did. It turned out perfect! I've dealt with many contractors in the past and this was hands down the best experience I've had. I highly recommend Upland Builders!

Upland Builders is incredible . The owner, Riley is so easy to work with. He listens to what I need. He makes suggestions if I am not sure. He gives the pros and cons and then lets me decide. His skill and his attention to detail are outstanding. Hands down a very good contractor. It is a pleasure working with him.

We were very happy with the end result of our double bathroom remodel. We enjoyed working with Riley and his team. They were always on time, cleanly, and pleasant to be around. Riley brings a sense of calm to what can often be a very overwhelming and hectic process.

Riley did such amazing work that went well beyond our expectations. His attention to detail, patience, and willingness to take our input and requests for the custom features came together fantastically! Exactly what we wanted, with a much better quality than we expected!
