The Reilly Brothers Construction team helps homeowners to custom build or transform their existing shed, garage or poolhouse into a comfortable space perfect for all of these use cases.  Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reillybrothersconstruction/) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Reilly-Brothers-Construction/100065443304975/#) for more examples of our work. ### Why build a custom shed over a pre-fab shed? Custom shed builds are a great solution for homeowners who want the flexibility to select higher-quality, more durable materials than pre-fab sheds can accommodate, have plans to finish the interior for a unique purpose or have properties with tight backyard access, sloped or uneven terrain or property line considerations. ### Why convert my existing shed into living space? Converting an existing storage shed into a home office, man cave, she shed, artist workshop, music studio, poolhouse, home gym, golf simulator and more is a creative solution to add more private living space without adding to your home's footprint. ### Why build a detached home office? Homeowners who work from home know the importance of clearly dividing their work space from their leisure space. Building a detached home office allows homeowners to design a quiet, private space where they can do their best work without the lengthy commute. ### Why build a detached in-law suite or guest house? Many families want to create multigenerational living space that allows for independence and privacy while keeping family close. Detached ADUs strike a balance between togetherness and autonomy. Family members can interact daily without feeling like they are living “under the same roof.” # Examples of our detached ADUs and shed conversions With a custom ADU build, the possibilities are endless to create a space that is the perfect fit for your needs. These are a few examples for inspiration.
