Custom Basement Apartments & Mother-in-Law Suites in Herriman

Turn your unused square footage into a fully functional, beautiful living space. Whether you are looking to generate passive rental income in a growing Utah market, create a comfortable mother-in-law apartment for aging parents, or give adult children their own independent space, we specialize in designing and building custom basement apartments tailored to your needs and unique property.

Why Add a Basement Apartment to Your Home? 

Maximize Property Value: A fully finished, legal basement apartment significantly boosts your home's equity and resale appraisal in the competitive Salt Lake County real estate market.

Passive Income Potential: Offset your mortgage by turning your basement into a long-term rental or a stylish short-term vacation space. In uncertain times it makes sense to make defensive moves that can help support your family.

Multi-Generational Living: Keep family close while maintaining privacy with a dedicated living area, kitchenette, and full bathroom. Form deeper relationships with those who are important to you while also helping them maintain a high quality of life.

From obtaining the proper municipal permits to the final coat of paint, our team manages your entire Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) build-out process. Whether you need to excavate for a dedicated separate entrance, upgrade your electrical panel, or install custom cabinetry for a new kitchenette, we ensure your new space is safe, legal, and built to the highest standards.

Navigating Herriman ADU Regulations and Zoning

Building a legal basement apartment means adhering to strict municipal codes. An Internal Accessory Dwelling Unit (I-ADU) in Herriman requires specialized permits and adherence to specific zoning regulations. Depending on your neighborhood, you may need to account for dedicated off-street parking, fire-rated drywall between living spaces, and independent HVAC zoning. Our team handles the entire permitting process with Herriman City, ensuring your new mother-in-law suite is 100% compliant. This protects you from future fines and guarantees the space can be legally appraised as an independent living unit if you ever decide to sell.

Design Considerations for Sub-Grade Rentals

A successful rental unit needs to feel like a home, not a basement. We prioritize open-concept layouts that maximize natural light from your egress windows. We also recommend incorporating independent laundry hookups and durable, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring that resists moisture and heavy foot traffic from tenants. Whether your home is near the Herriman Towne Center, in Rosecrest, or up along the Mountain View Corridor, we design spaces that appeal to high-quality renters and maximize your passive income.

Expertise You Can Trust for Your Home 

Building an independent living space in your basement requires specialized knowledge that goes beyond standard finishing. Proper egress, HVAC zoning, sound mitigation, and plumbing for a second kitchen or bathroom are critical. Our local Herriman team has the experience to navigate these complexities, delivering a high-quality mother-in-law suite or rental unit on time and within budget. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing so there are no surprises.
