👵 Building the Perfect In-Law Suite in Sarasota: What You Need to Know
As multi-generational living becomes more popular, Sarasota homeowners are turning to custom in-law suites as a way to create independent, comfortable spaces for aging parents or long-term guests—without sacrificing privacy or convenience.

Whether you live in Palmer Ranch, Siesta Key, or Lakewood Ranch, we’re your go-to experts for functional, stylish in-law additions.
🏡 What Is an In-Law Suite?
An in-law suite—also known as a granny flat, casita, or guest apartment—is a self-contained living space typically built as:
A first-floor home addition
A garage conversion
A detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
A finished basement (where applicable)
These spaces usually include:
A private bedroom
A full bathroom
A kitchenette or compact kitchen
A separate entrance (optional)
Living space or sitting area
💡 Why Sarasota Homeowners Are Adding In-Law Suites
Here’s why so many clients throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice are investing in in-law additions:
