Why San Diego Homeowners Choose Lodgewick ADU San Diego for ADU
San Diego homeowners keep calling us because they’ve been burned before. A contractor who ghosted after the deposit. A price that ballooned mid-project. A garage conversion that leaked the first winter. Russ Delmar leads our San Diego branch with the Kingswell Guarantee behind every job: a written price before work starts, a real arrival window, and a warranty in writing. When neighbors in Chula Vista, La Mesa, or Poway ask who we’d trust with an ADU, our name comes up because the work holds up.
6 Reasons We’re San Diego’s Top ADU Company
Deep San Diego ADU Experience
Russ Delmar has been building accessory dwelling units through Lodgewick ADU San Diego since the branch opened to serve this market. That means we’ve worked through Coastal Commission adjacent reviews in Coronado, fire-safety setbacks in Poway’s wildland-urban interface, and the gentle-slope grading quirks of Rancho San Diego. We know what San Diego County’s building department asks for before we submit plans, which keeps your permit review from dragging on. When a homeowner in Lemon Grove asks whether a detached unit will fit their rear setback, we already know the answer.
A Reputation Built on Showing Up
Our strongest local proof is word of mouth: a neighbor in Winter Gardens refers us to a coworker in National City, and that referral turns into another finished ADU. The Kingswell Way is not complicated. Say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. Homeowners in San Diego tell us the same thing over and over: the ADU was on budget, on time, and the crew respected their property. That is the reputation we protect.
Licensed and Insured, With Standards in Writing
Every professional working under the Lodgewick ADU San Diego name is required to hold the license and insurance California requires for their trade. We do not ask you to take that on faith. The Kingswell Guarantee is put in writing on every project, covering the work in plain language. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No fine print, no phone tag, no dodging.
We Speak the ADU Language, Not Just Builder Speak
Prefab and panelized construction is changing how San Diego homeowners think about ADUs, and we’re comfortable working across the spectrum. Brands like Boxabl and Plant Prefab use factory-built modules that cut on-site time. Tuff Shed provides a shell some homeowners start with before finishing out. James Hardie siding holds up in our coastal salt air and inland heat. We’ll help you decide what’s worth the money for your lot in La Presa versus Imperial Beach, because what works near the ocean does not always work near the foothills. The name Lodgewick says it: a lodge is a small house on a larger property, which is exactly what an ADU is.
Transparent Pricing, From the First Conversation
You will not get a vague estimate from us. You will get a written, line-item price before any work begins. The Kingswell rule is simple: say the price before the work. That means allowances are stated, scope is defined, and you know what a change order would cost before you sign it. We serve homeowners across San Diego, Solana Beach, and Coronado who tell us the same story about past contractors: the number changed when the crew showed up. That does not happen on our jobs. The price is the price, in writing.
Written Warranty That Means Something
Every project we complete in San Diego comes with The Kingswell Guarantee in writing. The promise covers four things: a written price before any work starts, a real arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on the work. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. You’ll find that guarantee language on your contract, not just on our website. Russ Delmar stands behind it, and so does the Lodgewick brand behind him.
Our Promise to You
The Kingswell Guarantee is not a marketing slogan. It is the same four promises every Lodgewick location works to, including ours in San Diego. First, you get a written price before any work starts, not a ballpark and not a handshake. Second, we give you a real arrival window and we show up inside it. Third, we leave your job site cleaner than we found it, every day, not just on the last day. Fourth, the guarantee is put in writing and covers the work for the full guarantee period. If something fails, we come back and fix it at no charge. If we ever fall short of any of these, call us on it. Russ Delmar and the San Diego team answer for our work. Call (619) 376-2760 and we’ll put the promise in writing for your ADU.
