Why Orange County Homeowners Choose Lodgewick ADU Orange County for ADU
Since opening our Orange County location, we’ve built our reputation one backyard at a time. Homeowners in Anaheim, Fullerton, Costa Mesa, and beyond call us because we put a written price in front of you before any work begins, then stand behind every job with The Kingswell Guarantee. Russ Delmar leads our local team here, and he’s built it around a simple idea: homeowners deserve a builder who shows up when they said they would, says the price before the work, and comes back if something fails. That’s not a slogan. That’s how we operate.
6 Reasons We’re Orange County’s Top ADU Company
Local Leadership That Answers to You
Russ Delmar runs Lodgewick ADU Orange County and lives in this market. That means when something needs attention on your job in North Tustin or Coto de Caza, the person accountable is local, not a name three time zones away. Our coordinated intake connects you with Russ and his team, so your questions get routed to people who know Orange County’s specific ADU rules. No runaround, no getting lost in a corporate maze.
A Reputation Built on Showing Up
Homeowners in Orange County don’t need another contractor who ghosts them. Our local reputation rests on the basics: we answer the phone during our published hours, we give you a real arrival window, and we keep it. The Kingswell Way has one rule we repeat constantly: show up in the window we gave. In a market where no-shows are so common they’re practically a meme, that alone sets us apart.
Insured and Licensed to Work in California
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. That’s a network standard at Lodgewick ADU Builders, and we enforce it here in Orange County because your property and your financing depend on it. If you’re pulling permits in Laguna Niguel or San Juan Capistrano, you want a builder whose paperwork is in order. Ours is.
Real Experience With the ADU Brands You’re Considering
Some Orange County owners come to us already leaning toward a prefab or panelized system from brands like Abodu, Cover, or Dvele. We work with those systems regularly and can speak plainly about what they cost, how they schedule, and what site work they require on an Orange County lot. If you’re comparing a traditional stick-built ADU against a factory-built option, we’ll give you honest line-item numbers either way, not a sales pitch for whichever earns us more.
Transparent, Written Pricing Before Work Starts
The Kingswell family built this company on one promise: say the price before the work. At Lodgewick ADU Orange County, that means you get a written, line-item estimate before you commit to anything. Not a verbal ballpark that drifts. Not a low initial number that balloons mid-project. A real price on paper, tied to a real scope of work, for your specific lot in Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Midway City, or anywhere else in Orange County.
The Kingswell Guarantee, In Writing
Every Lodgewick ADU job comes with a written guarantee, not a handshake and a hope. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the entire guarantee. It’s simple, it’s stated in plain English, and it’s backed by a brand that operates in multiple markets and can’t afford to have its local branches cutting corners. Put the guarantee in writing is a Kingswell Way value, and we follow it on every single ADU we build in Orange County.
Our Promise to You
Here’s what you can hold us to, in writing, on every project. First: a written price before any work starts, with no surprise change orders mid-project. Second: a real arrival window for every scheduled visit, during our business hours of Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Third: a clean job site. We leave the place cleaner than we found it, every day, not just on the final walkthrough. Fourth: a written guarantee. If something we built fails inside the guarantee window, we come back and fix it at no charge. That promise applies whether your ADU is in Santa Ana, Fullerton, or anywhere else we work in Orange County. If we ever fall short, you’ll know exactly who to call: the local team here, led by Russ Delmar.

No. Estimates are free at Lodgewick ADU Orange County. We’ll walk your lot in Costa Mesa or Coto de Caza, talk through what you want, check your setbacks and utility access, and then give you a written, line-item price. You won’t pay a dime for any of that. The estimate is our chance to show you how we work, and it’s the first step in The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work. Call (350) 203-6060 to get yours scheduled.
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, and we enforce that standard here in Orange County. That matters because California has specific rules for ADUs, and cities like Fullerton, Lake Forest, and San Juan Capistrano each layer their own requirements on top. You want a builder whose paperwork is clean and whose work passes inspection. Call (350) 203-6060 and we’ll walk you through exactly what applies to your lot.
The honest answer is that a quality ADU doesn’t start tomorrow, and anyone promising otherwise is selling you a timeline, not a home. Design, permitting, site work, and construction all take real time, and in Orange County, each city’s planning department has its own approval pace. We’ll give you a realistic schedule in writing before you commit, so you know what to expect for your project in North Tustin, Midway City, or wherever you’re building. Call (350) 203-6060 for a free estimate and a schedule you can actually plan around.
