Expert Guest House Construction in Chelan, WA
Guest house construction in Chelan gives homeowners a fully functional second living space on their existing lot. Upland Builders handles every phase of the build, from site planning and foundation work to framing, utility connections, and interior finishing. A detached guest house works well for hosting visiting family, housing adult children, or creating a private space separate from the main home. Chelan's mix of hillside and lakefront properties means each site comes with its own grading and drainage considerations. Our team plans around those site conditions from the start, so the build stays on solid ground. The Chelan Municipal Code limits ADUs in single-family residential districts to 1,200 square feet or 50 percent of the primary residence's floor area, whichever is less. We work within those rules so your project moves through the approval process cleanly. If you own property in Chelan and want to add a guest house, contact Upland Builders to talk through your site and your goals.
