We serve all of San Diego County, from Oceanside and Carlsbad down to Chula Vista, and inland to Escondido and El Cajon. We are based in Vista.
How much does an ADU cost in San Diego?
Most ADUs in San Diego County land between $150,000 and $400,000 depending on size, site, and finishes. A garage conversion runs less than a detached new build. We give you an honest range up front, not a guess.
How long does the ADU permit process take?
Plan on a few months for design and permitting before construction, and the timeline varies by city. We handle the submittal and the back and forth with your jurisdiction so you do not have to.
Do you work in Spanish?
Yes. Every conversation, plan, and permit can be handled in English or Spanish. Hablamos espanol.
Do you design and build, or just one?
Both. Alma designs and permits your ADU, and our licensed partner The Rock Remodel builds it. You get one team start to finish.
