ADUs · TrueForm Remodeling
ADU planning and builds by local craftsmen
An ADU needs more than a pretty floor plan to actually work. Whether you want a detached ADU, a garage apartment, a guest suite, or a rental-ready backyard build, TrueForm plans it around the things that make or break it — site access, utilities, drainage, privacy, HVAC, fire separation, exterior matching, kitchen and bath selections, and your local permit rules — and lays it all out before you commit.
What's included
- Feasibility review for lot, access, utilities, parking, privacy, and setbacks
- Permit, HOA, tree, drainage, and impervious-cover notes by metro
- Kitchenette, bath, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, insulation, and envelope scope
- Exterior finish, roofing, siding, window, door, and lighting coordination
- Good / Better / Best finish boards for rental-ready or family-use goals
Pricing and scope
Detached ADUs commonly begin as site-specific quotes rather than fixed packages. Planning often starts around $180-$350+ per square foot, with utilities, foundation, design, permits, and finish level driving the final number.
Local planning notes
Collin County and NE Tarrant ADUs need early attention to master-planned HOA rules, setbacks, and lot coverage. Northern Denton County ADUs trigger tree-preservation ordinances and lake-adjacent setbacks. North Dallas and Park Cities ADUs need foundation, alley-access, and town-code review.
Frequently asked
Does TrueForm handle ADUs in the northern DFW suburbs?
Yes. ADUs are in scope across the northern Dallas–Fort Worth metro, with early review for permits, HOA rules, setbacks, lot coverage, tree ordinances, access, and utilities.
Can an ADU be used for rental income?
Often, but local rules, parking, utilities, privacy, insurance, and finish durability must be checked before design is finalized.
What should be decided before pricing an ADU?
Size, utility connection path, foundation type, kitchen and bath level, HVAC, exterior matching, access, drainage, and permit path all affect price.
