What Our Clients Are Saying

stars 5

We couldn’t be happier with the work and service provided by Bandido for our bathroom renovation. From day one, they made the process easy and stress-free, always taking the time to walk us through what to expect and keeping us informed along the way. One of the things we valued most was their communication—every change, adjustment, or delay was clearly explained, so we always knew what was happening and could plan accordingly.

Amazing company! Communication throughout the entire process. I walked in, gave Emy my measurements and sample of what I needed. Less than a week, the crew arrived on time and ready to work. They were super knowledgeable and did all 4 rooms in 2 days. Please give them a call for any renovation or installation. Ask for Jimmy!

Accessory Building vs. ADU: Two Different Projects

Close-up of stamped building permit paperwork near plumbing rough-in Lakewood remodel

An accessory building is a garage, workshop, or storage structure with no kitchen or living plumbing. An ADU is a small detached home with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping space. The two get built, permitted, and priced differently. Knowing which one you want saves you a lot of confusion.

Here's where people get tangled up. Someone calls us wanting a detached garage, but they keep saying they might rent it out someday. That single sentence changes everything. A workshop with a slab, some outlets, and a roll-up door is one kind of remodel. A structure with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a stove is a different animal entirely, legally and structurally.

Lakewood has a lot of older lots with detached garages already sitting on them, some from decades back and never updated. Folks often want to replace one of those with something bigger for a workshop or storage. That's a straightforward accessory building remodel. Once you add plumbing for a kitchen or a shower meant for someone to live there full time, you've crossed into ADU territory. That means separate systems, separate inspections, and a longer permitting path.

    Not sure yet which one fits your lot - worth a conversation before you commit to a design

We build both. Custom Garage and Workshop Construction and Custom ADU Construction are separate services for a reason; they solve different problems. If you're leaning toward a full living space, don't let a contractor treat it like a simple shed job. It isn't one, and the permitting process will remind you of that fast.
