What’s the Difference Between a Main-Floor Guest Suite and a Basement Guest Suite?

The purpose and design of a guest suite can vary depending on where it’s located in your home. Whether it’s meant for visiting family, live-in relatives, or short-term rental guests, layout and function matter.

Feature Main-Floor Guest Suite Basement Guest Suite / In-Law Suite
Purpose Convenient space for visiting guests or family members Independent living area for in-laws, adult children, or Airbnb guests
Privacy Close to main living areas, easily accessible Separated from main home, ideal for long-term stays or rentals
Layout Often includes bedroom and ensuite bathroom May include kitchenette, private entry, and living space
Natural Light Plenty of natural light and ventilation Requires thoughtful lighting design and egress windows
Permits & Code Standard bedroom and bathroom requirements Additional zoning or ADU compliance if rented out
Design Focus Comfort, style, and guest convenience Functionality, privacy, and income potential

We bring the same attention to detail to both — whether you’re adding a cozy guest space on your main floor or converting your basement into a private suite with everything your guests need.

Why Add a Guest Suite?

  • Increase flexibility — create a private space for guests, in-laws, or older children who need independence.
  • Add value to your home with a finished suite that appeals to buyers and potential renters alike.
  • Earn passive income by turning a basement or detached area into an Airbnb or long-term rental.
  • Support multigenerational living with comfort, privacy, and accessibility for aging parents.
  • Maximize unused space — transform spare rooms, garages, or basements into beautiful, functional suites.

According to Home Advisor national guest house and in-law suite cost report,
a quality guest suite remodel typically ranges from $62,000 to $225,000 — depending on whether it includes a kitchenette, ensuite, or private entrance.

Legal & Code Considerations, Especially for Guest Suites

Planning a basement or rental-ready guest suite? We’ll guide you through Utah’s key building and zoning requirements to ensure your space is safe, compliant, and fully approved for long-term use.

  • Egress windows for emergency access (required for any legal bedroom in a basement suite)
  • Separate electrical subpanels or circuit upgrades for independent use and safety
  • Dedicated plumbing lines for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas
  • Soundproofing and insulation to meet residential and ADU building standards
  • Private entrances and fire separation if the suite will be used as a legal rental or in-law apartment

We manage the permitting, inspections, and code compliance from start to finish — so your new guest suite is legal, safe, and fully rental-ready.

What Our Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

"We had Pro-Worx finish our basement. We did 2 bedrooms, a family room, bathroom, wet bar, and several closets. This sounds so funny but I was most particular about how I wanted my closets because we were losing our storage space by finishing the basement. They created exactly what i hoped for. Bryant (company owner) and Kerry (project supervisor) both took time walking through the space with me discussing EVERY detail"

— Lauren Jaffa.
