Description
Roost Homes LLC is a Portland-based contractor specializing in accessory dwelling units (ADUs), home additions, and residential remodels throughout the Portland metro area. As an experienced ADU builder and detached ADU builder, the company works with homeowners from the earliest design concepts through final construction, creating functional, energy-efficient living spaces tailored to each property’s needs and constraints.
Their services cover the full design-build process, including conceptual planning, interior design support, construction management, and renovation work. Whether the project involves a backyard cottage builder service, a garage conversion contractor project, or a full-scale home remodel, Roost Homes LLC focuses on balancing comfort, practicality, and long-term durability.
Completed ADU Projects
Detached ADU with Southern Orientation (800 sq. ft.)
This 1.5-story detached ADU was designed to complement the historic character of the primary residence while maximizing natural light through generous southern-facing glazing. Built as a multi-generational living solution, the unit includes 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, solid oak tongue-and-groove flooring, hex tile bathrooms, Milgard windows with a low U-factor, and high-efficiency climate systems including a ductless heat pump and Panasonic Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV).
Garage Conversion ADU (576 sq. ft.)
Roost Homes LLC also operates as a garage conversion contractor, transforming underused structures into fully functional living spaces. In one project, an alleyway garage was converted into a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU with additional storage and laundry space. Built in collaboration with a local nonprofit organization, the project was intended to provide long-term affordable housing and incorporated energy-efficient systems including a Mitsubishi ductless heat pump and fresh air ventilation.
Modern Detached Backyard Cottage (800 sq. ft.)
Another project replaced an aging garage with a modern detached ADU intended as a long-term rental property. The design incorporated cost-conscious materials such as finished plywood flooring and concrete surfaces while maintaining an open, contemporary aesthetic. Multiple sliding glass doors connected the interior to the outdoor living area, maximizing light and functionality within a compact footprint.
Two-Story Vaulted Ceiling ADU
Working alongside an architect, Roost Homes LLC completed a 2-story accessory dwelling unit featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed fir beams, salvaged ship-lap accent walls, custom built-in cabinetry, and steel cable railings. The layout was carefully designed to make the compact footprint feel spacious and open while maintaining strong energy performance standards.
Energy-Efficient Building Practices
A defining aspect of Roost Homes LLC’s work as an accessory dwelling unit builder is their consistent emphasis on energy efficiency and building science. Their ADU projects commonly include:
- High-efficiency ductless heat pump systems
- Enhanced insulation and advanced air sealing
- Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems
- Low U-factor windows for improved thermal performance
- Continuous fresh air circulation systems
These features help reduce long-term operating costs while improving indoor comfort and air quality.
Home Additions and Remodeling Services
Beyond ADU construction, Roost Homes LLC also handles a range of residential remodeling and expansion projects. Their remodeling services include kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, and home additions designed to improve functionality and increase usable living space.
As a Portland-based contractor familiar with local zoning regulations, permitting requirements, and urban lot constraints, Roost Homes LLC helps homeowners navigate the complexities of residential construction projects while delivering spaces designed for long-term livability and value.
