Why Brucksch & Sons Remodeling Is Your Best Choice for ADU Construction

Building an ADU isn’t like adding a deck or renovating a bathroom. You’re essentially constructing a second home on your property, which means navigating zoning regulations, utility connections, foundation work, and a whole lot of decisions that can make or break the project. We’ve completed over 200 remodeling projects, including dozens of additions and complex builds, so we know what it takes to get this done right.

Here’s what separates us from other contractors: we don’t just show up with a crew and start hammering. We walk you through the entire process, from initial design concepts to final inspections. We handle permits, coordinate with county officials, and make sure your ADU meets all local building codes and zoning requirements.

That’s the design-build advantage, and it means you’re not juggling multiple contractors who blame each other when something goes wrong.

We’re locally owned and operated, fully licensed and insured, and we back every project with a 5-year workmanship warranty. Our approach is rooted in faith and family values, which translates to showing up on time, communicating honestly, and treating your property with respect.

If we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we’re there Tuesday morning. If something comes up that changes the timeline or budget, you’ll know about it immediately, not three weeks later.

Staying on Budget and on Schedule

ADU construction is a significant investment, but it’s one that adds real value to your property and solves actual problems. Whether you’re creating rental income, housing an aging parent, or giving your college grad a place to land while they figure out life, you’re building something with purpose. We work within your budget by being transparent from the start. No hidden fees and no surprise charges halfway through. You’ll know what things cost and why, and we’ll help you make smart trade-offs if you need to adjust scope or finishes.
ADU projects typically take several months from design approval to final inspection, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline before we break ground. We stick to schedules because we know you’re planning around this. Maybe you have a tenant moving in, or your parents need to relocate by a certain date. We respect those deadlines. Our crew shows up consistently, communicates any delays immediately, and keeps the site organized and secure.

Common Questions About ADU Construction

Yes. ADU regulations vary by jurisdiction, and Anne Arundel County has specific zoning and permitting requirements. Some areas allow detached ADUs, others have restrictions on size, setbacks, or lot coverage. We handle all of that for you. We’ll research your property’s zoning, submit the necessary applications, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets county building codes. You don’t need to become an expert in local regulations because that’s our job.
Most ADU projects take 6 to 12 months from initial design to final occupancy, though timelines vary based on size, complexity, and permitting. Smaller conversions, like turning an existing garage into living space, can move faster. Ground-up construction takes longer because you’re dealing with foundation work, utilities, and inspections at multiple stages. We’ll give you a detailed timeline upfront so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

In many cases, yes, but it depends on local regulations. Some areas allow long-term rentals, while others have restrictions on short-term vacation rentals. Anne Arundel County has specific rules about rental use, occupancy, and parking requirements. We’ll help you understand what’s allowed on your property, but you should also consult with local zoning officials or an attorney if rental income is your primary goal. Building the ADU correctly from the start ensures you can use it however local laws permit.

ADUs typically require separate connections or extensions for water, sewer, electricity, and sometimes gas, depending on what appliances and systems you’re installing. We coordinate all utility hookups as part of the construction process. If your property needs upgrades to handle the additional load, like a larger electrical panel or sewer line extension, we’ll identify that during the planning phase. Everything gets built to code so inspections go smoothly and you don’t have issues down the road.

Anne Arundel County sits between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., with Annapolis as the county seat and home to the U.S. Naval Academy. The area includes waterfront communities along the Chesapeake Bay, suburban neighborhoods with solid schools, and easy access to major routes like I-97 and Route 50. Anne Arundel County government handles zoning and permits for residential construction, including ADUs, which have become increasingly popular as housing costs rise and more families look for flexible living solutions without leaving the area.
