Custom ADUs & Home Additions in Bend, Oregon

Expand Your Home with Purpose

Sometimes life outgrows your current space, but that doesn't mean you have to leave the home you love. Whether you're welcoming aging parents, creating a rental income opportunity, or simply need room for your growing family to spread out, expanding your existing home can be the perfect solution.

At DCR Northwest, we specialize in creating custom additions and ADUs that feel like they've always belonged. From detached backyard studios to thoughtful garage conversions and elegant second-story additions, we approach every project with the same commitment: more space that enhances both your lifestyle and your home's character.

What We Love to Build

Every family's need for additional space is unique, and we tailor our approach to match your vision, your property, and your goals. Our team handles everything from initial concepts to final walk-through, with in-house design, careful project management, and a construction crew that treats your home with the respect it deserves.

Detached ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units)

These independent living spaces are perfect for so many life situations. Whether it’s multigenerational living that maintains privacy, long-term rental income, quiet home offices, or artist studios. Detached ADU construction works especially well on larger lots where creative layouts allow for maximum privacy for both your family and your guests.

Attached ADUs & Smart Conversions

Transform underused spaces into beautiful, code-compliant living areas that feel completely integrated with your home. Garage conversions and basement ADUs are popular projects that turn overlooked square footage into some of the most comfortable and private spaces in the house.

Home Additions That Feel Original

Whether you need a new primary suite, a second-story expansion, or an entire wing for your growing family, we create additions that feel like they've always been part of your home's story. Our home addition services focus on carefully matching your existing architecture and interior style for a seamless, cohesive result.

Our relationships with local planning departments help ensure your project moves through approvals smoothly while meeting all requirements the first time.
