Ever wish you could just keep your mother in law out of your house? Well, we’ve got some good news and bad news about that! 

Good news: A backyard structure added to your Texas home can be wonderful. We can add an accessory living space to your backyard that gives you the extra space you've been craving. Have you outgrown your house but you don't want to leave your neighborhood? Do you need a place for the teens to hang out? Have you always wished you had a private retreat or maybe an extra bathroom? An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for mom or to Airbnb for extra cash? You deserve it! 

Bad news: Adding on to your house costs real money, effort, and time. It's not easy to manage all of the facets to building a home-like structure on your property. In fact, the hurdles can feel overwhelming. The hassle and price keep too many people from realizing their dream of adding an accessory dwelling unit to their property.


At least, it did until Elbow Room came along! We have the experience, know-how, and all-star team to build a rock-solid turn key ADU designed perfectly to fit your needs.  If you don't know how or don't want to go through the intricate process of permitting, you're in luck.  We are pros that figure out how to make it happen.  Unlike other builders who merely give guidance, we handle all of the permitting so you don't have to.

Adding on to a backyard structure isn't as simple as cutting a door and adding a box. It's COMPLICATED. A homeowner hopes it's just some lumber, sheet rock, and paint. A builder knows it's time spent in permitting, architectural planning, inspections and the materials and connections with skilled tradesmen to build a truly functional space. Elbow Room includes all of that plus, foundation, insulation, A/C, electrical wiring, finished interior, and options for baths, kitchens, and decks. 


That’s why an ADU from Elbow Room is the perfect, sanity saving and cost-effective solution. We can create a customized accessory dwelling unit wherever you need one! Our ADUs come fully equipped, so you can enjoy it from the day we hand of the keys.
