DADU builder Medina, WA
A Medina DADU starts with precision. Lake Washington shoreline, mature landscaping, privacy expectations, existing hardscape, utility routes, drainage, and carefully maintained lots can shape the project before the floor plan does. Maksymov Brownstone LLC helps homeowners plan guest houses, parent suites, caregiver space, rental units, or flexible backyard housing around access, stormwater, privacy, sewer, trees, and daily use first.
Leave a requestWhy build a DADU in Medina?
Medina homeowners often build DADUs for flexibility without disrupting the main house. A detached unit can create space for aging parents, adult children, caregivers, guests, or long-term rental use. It offers more privacy than a basement ADU or garage conversion, with its own entry, kitchen, bath, roofline, and daily routine.
In Medina, early planning matters because shoreline proximity, mature trees, drainage, setbacks, access, utilities, and neighbor privacy can shape whether the unit feels natural or forced.
Tailored backyard units for local homes
A DADU is a detached accessory dwelling unit built on the same property as the main house. In Medina, the site can change the design quickly. A near-shoreline property may need closer stormwater and review planning. An interior lot may still have mature trees, hardscape, and privacy concerns. A property with an older detached garage may look simple until structure, sewer, parking, and access are checked. We review those details early, so the unit fits the property.
Design-build from one team
With DADU design-build in Medina, planning, permitting, construction, and finishes stay connected. That matters because a compact detached home still needs foundation work, sewer, water, electrical, stormwater planning, framing, insulation, inspections, and interior details to line up.
Maksymov Brownstone LLC helps Medina 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 Medina properties
A customized DADU Medina, WA project should start with the lot, not a generic cottage plan. Medina properties are too specific for one standard layout.
We look at setbacks, utility routes, sewer connection, stormwater, trees, shoreline or critical-area concerns, parking, privacy, lot coverage, and how the unit relates to the main home.
A guest house near Evergreen Point Road may need a quiet entry and careful window placement. A caregiver unit near Lake Washington Boulevard may need safer access and better bathroom clearance.
A long-term rental may need durable finishes, storage, and a compact kitchen that works every day. The best plan protects the property’s calm, private feel.

MB Remodels follows a structured Medina DADU construction workflow built around local site realities: shoreline proximity, privacy, drainage, utility routes, mature landscaping, access, permits, inspections, and clear communication from first review to final finishes.

01
Site walk & feasibility check
We start with the Medina 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, critical areas, buffers, sewer connection, setbacks, and lot coverage are checked early because they can shape the whole project.

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 or caregiver suite may need fewer steps, better bathroom clearance, more natural light, and a safer path from the driveway. A compact Medina DADU should feel quiet, usable, and intentional — not like leftover space.

03
Permitting support
Permitting in Medina is part of the build strategy, not a formality. Projects may involve zoning review, ADU registration, construction drawings, utility confirmation, stormwater planning, energy code documentation, building permits, and site-specific review for shoreline jurisdiction, wetlands, streams, steep slopes, buffers, or other critical areas. 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. Medina’s wet climate makes flashing, ventilation, waterproofing, and drainage details especially important.
