At Dave Potter ADU, we build high-quality accessory dwelling units to your exact specifications using sophisticated design and premium materials. Not sure if a custom ADU is right for you? Here are just a few of the benefits of putting an ADU on your Massachusetts property.
Top Benefits to Building a Custom ADU
Expand Your Living Space
When you need additional living space, sometimes a traditional renovation just doesn’t work. A custom ADU lets you create a separate area for a home office, studio, guest house, or something else without the complexity of making major changes to your existing house.
Design for Your Lifestyle
Dave Potter ADU gives you full control over the layout and functionality of your new space. We also help you choose beautiful finishes that fit seamlessly with your vision, so every detail matches your personal style and goals.
Get Privacy Without Inconvenience
ADUs are a perfect way to set up a private, fully enclosed living area near your main home. It’s not far enough away to be inconvenient, but it’s still separate enough to provide everyone with the security they need in their own space.
Increase Your Property Value
Whether you choose an attached or detached ADU, adding one to your property can increase its value substantially. If you decide to sell your home later, having a mother-in-law suite or a studio can give you a competitive advantage over other houses in your area.
Generate Rental Revenue
One great way to make use of an accessory dwelling unit is to rent it out as a guest suite or tiny home for extra revenue. This strategy puts tenants close enough to your home to give you peace of mind without feeling like you’re encroaching on their space or vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an ADU be used for a mother-in-law suite?
ADUs for in-law suites include a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom(s) so family members have access to everything they need without having to enter the main home. This provides both you and the person staying in the suite with maximum privacy.
Can I turn an ADU into a home office?
Yes, you can make one room in your ADU a home office, or you can dedicate the entire space to meeting and conference rooms, computer rooms, and more. You can also equip your ADU with electrical wiring that supports multiple phones and devices.
Can I use an ADU for a guest house?
ADU guest houses are a great way to provide a completely separate living area for friends and family. Since ADUs must have a separate entrance according to Massachusetts law, no one in the main house gets disturbed when guests leave or arrive.
Can I put an ADU over my garage?
Yes, an ADU garage conversion is one of the most popular ways to use an accessory dwelling unit. These are also great for tiny homes and carriage houses, so you can turn your garage into a completely independent living space for whatever you need. You can also put the ADU next to your garage if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of going up and down stairs that connect your garage to your unit.
Can I use an ADU as an art or music studio?
ADU studios are another great way to add functional space to your home. Typically, these are attached ADUs that share at least one wall with your existing house, but you can also have a detached ADU for more separation between your studio and your home.
Special features for a studio can be included, like soundproofing for quality music or podcast recording and floor-to-ceiling windows for maximum natural light.
Can I turn my ADU into a home gym?
If you want a fitness studio or spa retreat, an ADU wellness space is an excellent solution. Here are just a few things you can include:
- Mirrored walls for gyms, yoga, and dance studios
- A sauna or jetted tub for relaxation
- Built-in storage for towels and handheld fitness equipment
- Extra ventilation for workout rooms
- High-capacity electrical wiring for treadmills and elliptical machines
