If you’ve ever dreamed of getting more value and flexibility from your property, adding a secondary suite or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) could be the perfect solution. At Generation V Homes, we specialize in designing and building ADUs, guest houses, workspaces, backyard cottages, and in-law suites throughout Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Beaufort, Pawley’s Island, Hilton Head, and beyond. Our team helps homeowners make the most of their lots while creating stylish, functional spaces that blend seamlessly with their existing homes.

A secondary suite can be a detached backyard cottage, a conversion of an existing garage or other structure, or an attached unit that adds private living space while complementing your property. Whether you call it a guest suite, carriage house, or backyard apartment, these units aren’t just extra square footage — they provide flexibility for your family, guests, or rental income.

Adding an ADU can increase the value of your modular home or coastal property, making it more appealing to future buyers. These secondary suites can also provide steady rental or passive income, helping offset mortgage payments or maintenance costs while maximizing the potential of your lot.

If you’re wondering how the process works from start to finish, check out our process to see our step-by-step approach. 

They give privacy and comfort for adult children, aging parents, or long-term guests, while keeping everyone close. They also double as versatile spaces for a home office, art studio, or hobby workshop. As your lifestyle changes, your accessory dwelling unit can evolve with you.

Because these secondary suites or backyard apartments use your existing lot, they are a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new land or building a full-scale addition. For modular homes and coastal properties, these units offer a practical way to increase livable space while keeping costs manageable and maintaining the charm and style of your property.

ADUs are perfect for evolving family needs. They provide private, comfortable living space for adult children, aging parents, or future caregiving arrangements, while keeping everyone close. They can also serve as versatile spaces for a home office, art or music studio, guest suite, or hobby workshop. As your lifestyle changes, the ADU can adapt with you.

Because ADUs are built on your existing lot, they can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new land or building a full-scale home addition. 

Generation V Homes specializes in designing and building modular home ADUs in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Beaufort, Pawley’s Island, and Hilton Head. We understand local zoning rules, setbacks, and architectural styles, so your ADU will meet code while enhancing the look and value of your property. Our team ensures every ADU is thoughtfully designed, durable, and tailored to your lifestyle.
