Building a Backyard Cottage the Smart Way
If you’ve been searching for a backyard cottage builder, you’re part of a growing trend among homeowners who want to make better use of their property. A backyard cottage – sometimes called an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or granny flat – offers flexible living space, rental income potential, and lasting property value. But the success of your project depends on choosing the right builder.
That’s where Wolf Industries stands apart. Our modular backyard cottages are built inside our factory, delivered to your property, and installed and finished in weeks. It’s the faster, cleaner, and more predictable way to add a beautiful, fully finished home to your backyard.

The Advantages of Modular Backyard Cottages
Modular construction redefines what it means to build a backyard cottage. Instead of months of disruption, Wolf’s process allows you to move from concept to completion in a fraction of the time.
Speed: While your site is being prepared, your cottage is built in our factory. Once your foundation is ready, your finished home is delivered and installed and finishing takes weeks, not months.
Quality: Every component is cut and assembled with precision using advanced equipment and consistent standards. The result is a cottage built to the same (or higher) codes as traditional homes, without the flaws that come from building outdoors.
Efficiency: Factory-built construction uses materials more effectively, minimizes waste, and produces highly insulated, energy-efficient homes that save money month after month.
Predictability: Weather delays, labor shortages, and material cost spikes are the biggest risks for site-built projects. Modular eliminates those unknowns – giving you a set cost, set schedule, and peace of mind.

How a Backyard Cottage Can Transform Your Property
A backyard cottage can do more than add square footage – it can completely change how you use your property. Homeowners across the Pacific Northwest are building Wolf cottages for:
- Family living: Give parents or adult children a comfortable home close by while maintaining privacy and independence.
- Rental income: Turn your property into an income-producing investment with a long-term or short-term rental.

Whatever your vision, a modular backyard cottage offers a flexible, modern, and value-adding solution that adapts to your lifestyle.
