Welcome to the Backyard Homes Building Company, where we dream big and build small…

Backyard Homes Building Company is a fully licensed and insured contractor in Virginia and DC that exclusively designs and builds detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - or small second homes - in the greater Washington DC region.

Build a small home for your parents, a guest house for visitors, a starter home for your recent grads, a rental home for income, or downsize and rent your main home. Whatever the reason, we can help you get more from your backyard, and do it with style.

We design our own homes. Each are pre-designed to meet your local jurisdiction requirements, thoughtfully laid out for both function and aesthetics, and come with custom selections to personalize them.

The structure is partly prefabricated in a production facility and shipped to your site, then fully constructed and finished in your backyard. We handle all permitting, design and construction, including sitework and utilities. The entire process is fast, the structures are precise, and the finished homes are of unmatched quality!

Call or email for a no-cost onsite consultation, we hope you will give us an opportunity to earn your business.
