Looking for in-law suites & adus in Tampa? LRG Contractors Group is a licensed Florida general contractor serving Tampa and the surrounding greater Tampa — from Hyde Park, South Tampa, Davis Islands and beyond. In-law suites, garage apartments, and accessory units — family space and flexibility, where local zoning allows.
An in-law suite or accessory dwelling can add real value, multigenerational space, or flexibility to a Tampa Bay property — but in Florida the rules are local, not statewide. What's buildable depends entirely on your city or county zoning, your lot, and your setbacks, so the honest first step is a feasibility check, not a sales pitch.
For Tampa specifically, it comes down to local realities: Tampa's range — from protected 1920s Hyde Park and Seminole Heights bungalows to flood-exposed South Tampa and Davis Islands waterfront — means the right kitchen or bath remodel depends entirely on the home's era, neighborhood, and flood zone. Tampa runs its own building department under the Florida Building Code. Bayfront South Tampa and Davis Islands homes sit in FEMA flood zones and the wind-borne-debris region, where substantial-improvement and elevation rules can apply; newer subdivisions add HOA review. We map those rules before drawings start. We design and permit your in-law suites & adus around exactly those conditions.

In-Law Suites & ADUs cost
Typical Tampa Bay ranges, not a quote. Cost is driven most by type (conversion vs. attached vs. detached), size, site access, and utility connections — and by whether your zoning allows the unit at all. We give you a fixed proposal after a feasibility visit.
Timeline
Garage conversions often finish in 2–4 months; attached suites and detached units typically run 5–9 months including design and permitting.
