DADU builder Kenmore
A Kenmore DADU starts with water, slope, and access. Lake Washington shoreline, the Sammamish River, Swamp Creek wetlands, SR-522 traffic patterns, older utilities, tree cover, and sloped streets north of Bothell Way can shape the project before the floor plan does. Maksymov Brownstone LLC helps homeowners plan rentals, parent suites, guest cottages, or flexible backyard housing around drainage, utilities, privacy, permits, access, and daily use first.
Leave a requestWhy build a DADU in Kenmore?
Kenmore homeowners often build DADUs to use their property better without leaving the neighborhood. A detached unit can support aging parents, adult children, caregivers, guests, or long-term rental use. It also offers more privacy than a basement ADU or garage conversion, with its own entry, kitchen, bath, roofline, and daily routine.
Around Lake Washington, the Sammamish River, Swamp Creek, Bothell Way, and Saint Edward-area neighborhoods, early planning matters because drainage, shoreline influence, wetlands, access, utilities, and city review can shape the whole project.
Tailored backyard units for local homes
A DADU is a detached accessory dwelling unit built on the same property as the main house. In Kenmore, the site can change the design quickly. A flatter lot near Bothell Way may allow a cleaner side-yard path. A wooded property near Saint Edward State Park may need tree-aware placement and privacy planning. A site near Swamp Creek or the Sammamish River may need critical-area review before the footprint goes too far. We check those details early, so the unit fits the property, not just the drawing.
Design-build from one team
With DADU design-build in Kenmore, planning, permitting, construction, and finishes stay connected. That matters because a compact detached home still needs foundation work, water, sewer, electrical, drainage, framing, insulation, inspections, and interior details to line up.
Maksymov Brownstone LLC helps Kenmore homeowners with site review, layout planning, permit coordination, construction drawings, foundation planning, utility coordination, framing, drywall, cabinetry, tile, flooring, trim, fixtures, and final walkthrough.
One connected process helps avoid the gap between a polished concept and a backyard unit that can actually be built cleanly.
Custom planning for Kenmore properties
A customized DADU Kenmore project should start with the lot, not a generic cottage plan. Kenmore properties are too varied for one standard layout.
We look at setbacks, utility routes, drainage, shoreline influence, wetlands, trees, access, parking, privacy, and how the unit relates to the main home.
A rental near SR-522 may need durable finishes and smart storage. A parent suite north of Bothell Way may need safer access and fewer steps.
A guest cottage near Lake Washington may need careful stormwater planning and window placement. The best plan responds to the property before construction starts.
DADU construction roadmap
MB Remodels follows a structured Kenmore DADU construction workflow built around local site realities: shoreline influence, wetlands, slope, drainage, utility paths, access, permits, inspections, and clear communication from first review to final finishes.
Schedule consultation-
01
Site walk & feasibility check
We start with the Kenmore property, not a brochure plan. The first review looks at access, slope, drainage, trees, existing structures, driveway layout, utility routes, parking, privacy, and how the DADU would sit near the main home. Shoreline proximity, Swamp Creek or Sammamish River influence, wetlands, flood-prone areas, steep slopes, and critical-area mapping are checked early when the site suggests them.

02
Planning & layout
After the site review, we shape the unit around its purpose. A rental needs durable finishes, storage, acoustic separation, and simple maintenance. A parent suite may need fewer steps, better bathroom clearance, more natural light, and a safer path from the driveway. A compact Kenmore DADU should feel like a real home, not leftover space behind the main house.

03
Permitting support
Permitting in Kenmore is part of the build strategy, not a formality. Projects may involve zoning review, site plans, construction drawings, stormwater planning, energy code documentation, utility confirmation, building permits, and site-specific review for shoreline areas, wetlands, streams, flood risk, slopes, or other critical conditions. We help organize the package before missing details slow the job.

04
Construction & finish work
Once permits are ready, the work becomes sequencing: site protection, excavation, foundation, drainage, framing, roofing, windows, rough plumbing, electrical, mechanical, insulation, drywall, cabinets, tile, flooring, paint, trim, fixtures, and final inspection. Kenmore’s wet months make flashing, ventilation, waterproofing, and drainage details especially important.
