What San Francisco Homeowners Say About Lodgewick ADU San Francisco
Reviews matter because an ADU is a six-figure decision on a 25-foot-wide lot. You want to know the crew showed up when they said they would, honored the written price, and stood behind the framing six months later. We ask every San Francisco homeowner we work with to tell us straight what went well and what didn’t. The testimonials below are real customers from neighborhoods across the city, from the Outer Sunset to Bernal Heights, talking about garage conversions, backyard cottages, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise that backs every build. No scripts, no cherry-picking, just what happened on their jobs.

“We converted our 1930s garage in the Sunset into a one-bedroom ADU for my mother-in-law. The written price covered everything from the foundation bolts to the James Hardie siding, and when a door swelled after the winter rains, the crew came back at no charge under the warranty. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee in action.”

“I talked to four contractors about a backyard cottage in Noe Valley. Lodgewick was the only one who handed me a line-item quote before I’d signed anything. Russ walked the lot with me, pointed out where the sewer lateral ran, and the final invoice matched the proposal to the dollar. No change orders, no surprises, no awkward conversations.”

“Our garage conversion in the Mission took eleven weeks, which was exactly what the schedule said. The crew was background-checked and wore Lodgewick uniforms every day. They swept the walkway at the end of each shift and even hosed down the neighbor’s side yard where the sawdust drifted. When I called the office at 10 p.m. with a question about the electrical panel, a live person answered. Not a voicemail. A person.”

“We did a detached ADU in the Richmond using a prefab shell from Abodu, and Lodgewick handled the site prep, foundation, and all the finish work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing fluff. Six months after move-in, a hairline crack appeared in the drywall where the module met the site-built wall. They sent a finisher out within the week, patched it, repainted, and left a written note saying the fix was covered in full.”

“I needed a JADU carved out of the ground floor of my Bernal Heights house. Most contractors wanted to blow out the whole lower level. Lodgewick gave me a written price for the smaller job and didn’t upsell me on anything I didn’t ask for. The plans passed DBI review the first time, which my architect said almost never happens. Russ knows the San Francisco permitting dance.”
Cole M.
Bernal Heights, San Francisco
“We put a one-bedroom ADU over our existing garage in Glen Park. The lot sloped, which scared off two other builders. Lodgewick’s crew worked with a structural engineer, used helical piers, and kept everything on the written budget. The guarantee was printed in the contract before the first shovel hit dirt. Eight months later, the place is rented and the tenants love it.”

Look at what repeats across those reviews: a written price before any work starts, a crew that shows up in the window they gave, a job site left cleaner than they found it, and a fix that happens fast when something goes wrong. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s the same on every project we take in San Francisco. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means exactly what it says: if the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right, for a full year, in writing, on every single build. No fine print, no phone tree, no dodging. Russ Delmar runs the San Francisco operation personally, and he’s the one who answers for the work when a homeowner has a concern. You’ll also get a live person on the line whenever you call, day or night, whether it’s a question about a prefab brand like Cover or Dvele, a permit question, or a warranty item.
