Why San Jose Residents Choose Us for Cover Service
We’ve assembled and serviced Cover sales & service units from the S-Series studio to the larger M-Series two-bedroom, and we understand the panel-to-chassis connections, the anchor bolt sequencing, and the flashing details that separate a unit that performs from one that leaks. Russ Delmar, our owner at Lodgewick ADU San Jose, trained in building technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent more than a decade working through every stage of ADU construction. When a Cover unit in San Jose has a problem, he can usually tell you what happened before he finishes looking at it.
