Feasibility Assessment
We evaluate your property for ADU eligibility — lot size, setbacks, zoning, utility access, and site conditions. You receive a feasibility report with size and placement options.
Design & Permitting
Architectural plans are developed, engineered, and submitted for building permits. We coordinate with the City of Boise and Ada County for all required approvals.
Site Work & Construction
Foundation, framing, roofing, siding, windows, and doors are completed. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are installed. Interior finishes follow.
Final Inspections & Occupancy
All required inspections are completed, certificate of occupancy is obtained, and the ADU is ready for use — whether for family, guests, or rental income.
Can I build an ADU on my property in Boise?
Boise adopted updated ADU regulations that allow accessory dwelling units on most residential lots. Requirements include minimum lot size, setback distances, and maximum ADU size limits. Iron Crest Remodel evaluates your property eligibility during the initial consultation.
How much does an ADU cost to build in Boise?
ADU construction in Boise typically costs $150,000-$300,000 depending on size, finishes, and site conditions. A basic 400 sq ft studio ADU starts around $120,000. A full 800 sq ft one-bedroom unit with premium finishes can reach $250,000+.
How long does it take to build an ADU?
From permit approval to completion, ADU construction takes 4-8 months. The permitting process itself can take 4-12 weeks depending on the jurisdiction and complexity.
Not every adu construction project is the same. Cosmetic updates are minor refreshes — not full remodels. Full remodels start at the Standard tier and above. Here are the most common scope levels we handle in the Boise area, with typical investment ranges.
Garage Conversion
$80,000 – $150,000
Convert an existing attached or detached garage into a living unit. Lower cost because the shell exists. Plumbing, electrical, insulation, and finishes required.
Studio ADU (400–500 sq ft)
$120,000 – $200,000
Compact open-plan unit with kitchenette, bathroom, and combined living/sleeping area. Most affordable new-build option.
One-Bedroom ADU (500–800 sq ft)
$180,000 – $280,000
Separate bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom, and living area. Most popular size for Boise rental ADUs.
Two-Bedroom ADU (800–1,000 sq ft)
$250,000 – $350,000+
Full-size dwelling with two bedrooms, full kitchen and bath, and dedicated living space. Maximum rental income potential.
Remodeling in the Treasure Valley comes with local factors that affect scope, cost, and timeline. Here is what Boise-area homeowners should know.
Boise ADU Zoning
Boise allows ADUs on most R-1 residential lots. Maximum size is typically 10% of lot area or 900 sq ft, whichever is less. ADUs must maintain primary dwelling setbacks and can be detached or attached.
Utility Connections
New ADUs require separate water, sewer, and electrical connections. Boise City water/sewer connection fees run $8,000–$15,000. Electrical service panel and meter add $3,000–$6,000.
Rental Market
Boise ADU rental rates average $1,200–$1,800/month for studios and $1,500–$2,200/month for one-bedrooms (2024 market data). Strong rental demand from Boise State students, young professionals, and remote workers.
Fire Separation
Detached ADUs within 5 feet of the primary dwelling or property line require one-hour fire-rated construction. This affects wall assembly, sheathing, and siding choices.
Choosing between detached adu (new build) and garage conversion? Here is a side-by-side comparison to help you decide.
| Factor | Detached ADU (New Build) | Garage Conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $180,000–$350,000 | $80,000–$150,000 |
| Timeline | 5–8 months | 3–5 months |
| Privacy | Fully separate structure | Adjacent to main home |
| Parking Impact | No garage lost | Lose garage parking |
| Design Freedom | Unlimited layout options | Constrained by existing shell |
