General Contractor in Leucadia, CA

Leucadia keeps more of its original character than most of the coast: older cottages, bungalows, eucalyptus, narrow lots running back off Coast Highway. People here generally want to improve what they have rather than replace it, which suits the way we work.

The Encinitas dining room addition and pergola we built sits in this part of town. It is a good example of the right move on a Leucadia lot: rather than push the footprint out, extend the living space toward the yard and cover the outdoor room properly so it works year round.

Older cottages hide the usual things: framing that has been altered, wiring that predates permits, and rot where the marine layer has been sitting on a sill for forty years. We open it up carefully and show you what is there.
