Straight answers.

Who builds ADUs in Gilford, NH?
Langone Site Services builds turn-key ADUs in Gilford. A Governors Island lot and a hill lot toward Gunstock aren't the same pad. The Summit is $235,000 for 654 sq ft on one floor. The Spruce is $290,000 for 882 sq ft with two bedrooms. Ella's Retreat is $321,000 for 981 sq ft and needs a town that allows that size.
Do you do excavation in Gilford?
Yes. Excavation and site work in Gilford are regular work. Ellacoya and Glendale are shore access. Roads toward Gunstock are hill lots. Phone (978) 987-0089 about the access.
Do you install septic systems in Gilford?
Yes. Gilford septic covers shore lots on Governors Island, Ellacoya, and the Glendale side, plus hill lots toward Gunstock. New Hampshire has no published septic start on this site, so the price comes from the lot.
Do you build custom homes in Gilford?
Yes. Custom homes in Gilford start at $325 per sq ft, land extra. An island lot and a hill lot toward Gunstock are different contracts, and the dig is part of the same contract.
Are ADUs allowed in Gilford?
Gilford has to allow one ADU by right in single-family districts, and the town must permit a detached unit under HB 577, and it cannot cap living area below 750 sq ft. Lake shoreland still applies. We read the ordinance before we pick a plan.
