Guest & Pool Houses in Dallas–Fort Worth

Detached guest houses, pool houses, and cabanas — a private structure in your backyard, built to The AG Standard.

Guest & Pool Houses finished project

What it is

A separate building, built to be used.

A guest house or pool house adds a fully separate structure to your property — a place for visitors to stay, a poolside lounge with a changing room and bath, or a private studio steps from the main house. It's the backyard upgrade that makes the whole property work harder.

We build the structure end to end: foundation, framing, finishes, climate control, and code-compliant plumbing and power. (The pool itself is handled by our sister brand, Awesome Pools — we build everything around it.)

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does a guest house or pool house cost?

Typically $90,000–$250,000 depending on size, plumbing, and finishes — it's a real, permitted structure, not a prefab shed.

Do you build the pool too?

We build the structure — foundation, framing, finishes, climate control, plumbing, and power. The pool itself is handled by our sister brand, Awesome Pools; we build everything around it.

Do I need a permit for a detached structure?

Yes. We confirm setbacks and accessory-structure zoning and pull the full permit package before we break ground.

What's the difference between a guest house and an ADU?

A guest house is the structure; an ADU is a defined dwelling unit with specific zoning. We help you choose based on your lot and how you'll use it. ADU guide.

Can it include a kitchenette and full bath?

Yes — a wet bar or kitchenette and a full bathroom so guests can actually stay, plus poolside-ready, moisture-tolerant finishes.

How long does it take?

Plan on several weeks of design and permits, then roughly 14–24 weeks of construction.

Is there a warranty?

Yes — a written workmanship warranty at closeout.
