CASITAS

CUSTOM CASITA BUILDS DESIGNED FOR LIFE'S NEXT CHAPTER

A casita is a detached guest house or secondary living unit built on the same property as your primary residence. Every casita Five Star Design Build delivers includes full framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and interior finishes -- built to residential code and tailored precisely to the homeowner's vision. There are no prefabricated shortcuts: every element is constructed and finished on-site to match the quality of any primary home.

Casitas serve a wide range of life situations. Whether you need comfortable guest quarters for visiting family, a long-term rental unit that generates income, a private living space for aging parents or adult children, or a dedicated home office or creative studio, a well-designed casita adapts to the use. Versatility is built into the concept from day one.

Every casita is designed from scratch to complement your existing home's architecture and your functional priorities. Five Star walks you through layout options, finish selections, and fixture choices through a collaborative, no-guesswork process -- so you know exactly what you're getting before a single nail is driven.

ADUs

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS THAT ADD VALUE AND VERSATILITY

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a self-contained living unit located on the same lot as a primary residence. ADUs can be detached structures, attached additions, or conversions of existing space like a garage or basement. They function as fully independent living units with their own entrance, kitchen, and bath -- and are increasingly recognized as one of the most practical and value-adding investments a homeowner can make.

ADU projects involve local zoning approval, building permits, and utility coordination -- and the process can feel overwhelming if you're navigating it alone. Five Star Design Build guides homeowners through the entire permitting process from plan submission to city or county review to inspection scheduling. You stay informed at every milestone, but you're never responsible for managing the bureaucracy yourself.

ADUs can be configured for rental income, multigenerational living, or long-term home value appreciation. Five Star customizes floor plans, finishes, and utility hookups to align with your specific goals and site conditions -- so your ADU works exactly the way you need it to from day one.

RV GARAGES

RV GARAGES BUILT TO FIT YOUR RIG -- AND EVERYTHING ELSE

RV garages demand oversized footprints and precise door clearances that standard garage construction cannot accommodate. Five Star builds to fit Class A, B, and C motorhomes as well as fifth wheels and travel trailers, with door heights typically ranging from 14 to 16 feet and bay depths of 40 to 50 feet or fully custom to your specific rig and storage requirements.

Standard options include insulated rollup doors, side entry doors, 220V electrical service for full RV hookup, water and sewer connections, and climate control for year-round protection. Every utility configuration is built to code and engineered for the specific load requirements of your vehicle and equipment.

Many clients use the opportunity to add workshop benches, overhead storage, a half-bath, or additional vehicle bays alongside the main RV bay. All of these amenities are configurable at build time and designed as integrated elements of the structure -- not afterthoughts.

Every RV garage is laid out to your site, applicable HOA requirements, and personal use priorities. Five Star handles structural engineering, permits, and all trade coordination -- so you receive a finished, code-compliant structure without managing a single subcontractor yourself.

DETACHED GARAGES

DETACHED GARAGES FROM SINGLE-BAY TO MULTI-BAY BUILDS

Five Star builds detached garages across the full spectrum -- from clean single-car structures to large multi-bay builds designed for serious storage, vehicle collections, or workshop use. Whether the goal is straightforward covered parking or a fully finished multi-purpose space, the scope and budget are tailored to the homeowner's property and priorities.

Finish options include stucco, siding, or brick matched to the existing home exterior for seamless curb appeal. Door styles range from rollup to carriage to standard single and double configurations. Interior packages cover electrical and lighting, insulation, drywall, and storage solutions including built-in cabinetry and overhead rack systems -- all selected and specified during the design phase.

All detached garage builds are fully permitted through local jurisdictions. Five Star coordinates every phase -- site prep, foundation, framing, and utility connections -- so the homeowner is never juggling multiple contractors or managing overlapping scopes of work. One team handles it from start to finish.

NEW HOME BUILDS

YOUR CUSTOM HOME, BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

Five Star Design Build takes homeowners from initial design conversations all the way through final walkthrough. The process moves through defined phases -- design consultation, plan development, permitting, construction, and project completion -- as a fully collaborative sequence. You're never handed off to a project manager you've never met: the same team that begins your project finishes it.

Every detail of a new custom home is chosen by the homeowner. Flooring, cabinetry, rooflines, exterior materials, room layout, window placement, built-in features -- none of it comes from a spec-home template. If you can describe it, we can build it, and we work with you to make sure the finished home reflects your life and not a builder's default catalog.

Five Star manages structural engineering, subcontractor coordination, inspections, and timeline adherence. Homeowners deal with one team and one point of contact -- not a revolving door of specialty contractors who don't communicate with each other. We absorb the complexity so you can focus on the decisions that matter.

Building in Arizona means designing for the desert climate. Five Star incorporates energy efficiency packages, high-performance insulation, and materials specified for long-term durability in extreme heat. Outdoor living integration, covered patios, and site-specific grading and drainage are planned from the start -- so your home performs as well as it looks.
