ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit — a secondary residential space located on the same property as a main home. ADUs can be detached (like a backyard casita), attached (such as a converted garage or basement), or even part of the main house with a separate entrance.
To qualify as an ADU, the space typically must include its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and entrance, making it a fully independent living unit. Homeowners decide to build ADUs for various of reasons, such as provide housing for parents, young adult children, extended family, long-term guests, or as rental units to generate additional income.
In Phoenix and surrounding areas, ADUs are growing in popularity due to their flexibility, potential for passive income, and ability to add usable space without moving. Miko LLC specializes in designing and building ADUs that are fully permitted, functional, and tailored to your property.
A standalone structure, often called a casita or guest house, located in the backyard or on another part of the lot.

An existing garage transformed into a livable unit with insulation, plumbing, and full interior build-out.

Building an ADU is one of the most practical ways to add value, flexibility, and functionality to your property.
Whether you’re looking for more space or a long-term investment, an ADU offers real benefits:
Rental Income: Generate passive income by renting out the unit long-term or as a short-term rental (if allowed in your area).
Multigenerational Living: Provide a private, independent space for aging parents, adult children, or extended family without sacrificing comfort or privacy.
Guest Accommodations: Host friends and visitors in a dedicated, self-contained space that doesn’t disrupt your main home.
Work or Studio Space: Use your ADU as a home office, art studio, or quiet retreat — all without leaving your property.
Increase Property Value: A well-designed, permitted ADU can significantly increase the market appeal and resale value of your home.
At Miko LLC, we help you design and build an ADU that fits your goals, budget, and property — from initial planning to final construction.
Miko LLC has become a trusted name in Phoenix for high-quality, custom-built guest homes. Our clients rely on us for:
Yes, adding an ADU can significantly increase your property’s value. A well-designed, permitted ADU adds livable square footage, which appraisers consider when determining home value. Homes with ADUs often attract more buyers and can sell faster, especially in competitive markets like Phoenix.
Beyond square footage, ADUs add versatility—whether as a rental unit, guest space, or multi-generational housing option. This flexibility makes your property more appealing to a wider range of potential buyers.
From design and permitting to final construction, building an ADU typically takes 4 to 8 months, depending on the scope, permitting timelines, and site conditions. We provide a clear schedule during the planning phase.
Consider how the space will be used (guests, rental, office), available space on your lot, access and privacy, required utilities, and how the new structure will blend with your existing home. Budget, zoning regulations, and long-term goals are also key factors.
Yes. ADUs require building permits and must meet local zoning, setback, utility, and safety requirements. Miko LLC handles the entire permitting process to ensure compliance from the start.
Yes, you can rent your ADU in Arizona, including in cities like Phoenix and Scottsdale, as long as you comply with local zoning laws and building codes. Many municipalities allow long-term rentals by right, but there may be restrictions on short-term rentals depending on your location. Your ADU must meet all requirements for safety, occupancy, and permitting. Before renting, it’s important to verify local ordinances and ensure your unit is fully legal and up to code. Miko LLC can help guide you through the process to make sure everything is compliant from day one.
Most cities limit ADU size based on your lot size and zoning. For example, detached ADUs in Phoenix are generally limited to 1,000 square feet or a percentage of the main home’s size. We review all local codes as part of the planning process.
An ADU is a fully independent, legally recognized dwelling with a kitchen, bathroom, and separate entrance. A casita or guest house may not include a full kitchen or meet all ADU requirements, depending on local code. In many cases, they overlap and can be considered ADUs if built to code.
