Add Living Space That Pays Back

You need flexible living space for guests, rental income, or multi-generational family members, and in Harlem, an accessory dwelling unit offers a self-contained solution that adds value to your property. Lone Oak Construction LLC handles ADU projects from engineering and permitting through structural planning, utility tie-ins, and final finishes, creating detached or attached units that function independently while complementing your main home. You'll watch concrete footers poured for a solid foundation, hear framers square walls for a compact but efficient layout, and see electrical panels installed to power a fully functional living space.

Your ADU project begins with site evaluation to determine the best location on your property, followed by design work that balances square footage, privacy, and local zoning requirements in Columbia County. Whether you're building in Harlem, Evans, Martinez, Appling, or Dearing, the process includes coordinating water and sewer connections, electrical service, and HVAC systems that operate independently from your main home. Customization options range from studio layouts to one-bedroom units with full kitchens and bathrooms, all built for long-term durability.

Accessory dwelling units in Harlem start with zoning review to confirm your lot size, setback requirements, and maximum allowable square footage for detached or attached structures under Columbia County regulations. You'll work through floor plans that optimize limited space, using open layouts, efficient kitchens, and compact bathrooms that feel larger than their actual square footage. Permitting moves forward once structural plans, utility tie-ins, and septic or sewer connections are approved.

During construction, Lone Oak Construction LLC pours a concrete slab or crawl space foundation, frames walls using standard lumber or engineered materials, and installs roofing systems that match or complement your main home's style. Electrical panels are sized for independent service, and water lines are tapped from your existing system or connected to municipal supplies. Privacy considerations influence window placement, entry door orientation, and exterior finishes that define the ADU as a distinct but complementary structure.

Final phases include drywall finishing, flooring installation, cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, and trim work that completes the interior. Exterior siding, paint, and landscaping ensure the ADU blends with your property's overall design. Optional features like covered porches, storage closets, or stackable washer-dryer hookups add convenience, and all work is inspected to confirm compliance with local building codes.

Property owners across Columbia County frequently ask about permitting, utility connections, and how ADUs affect property taxes, especially when planning flexible living spaces in Harlem and nearby communities.
