Expert Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Construction in Chelan, WA

Accessory dwelling unit construction gives Chelan area homeowners a practical way to add living space without buying new land. Whether you want a detached backyard unit, an attached suite, or a garage conversion, Upland Builders handles the project from design through final build. As a family-owned custom home builder, we bring designer-level craft to every ADU, so the finished unit feels intentional, not like an afterthought. The Wenatchee Valley is seeing growing demand for ADUs as housing options tighten across the region. Local rules in Chelan, Wenatchee, and East Wenatchee each carry their own setback, height, and coverage standards, and properties in Chelan County outside urban growth areas now face stricter state compliance requirements as well. We build to those local standards from the start, so your ADU is done right the first time. Whether you are housing a family member, creating a long-term rental, or adding flexible space to your property, we tailor the design to your lot, your style, and your goals. Reach out to Upland Builders to talk through what your property can support.

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.

Jeremy Adams Google review · December 2024

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!
