The Lodgewick ADU San Jose Guarantee
When we build an ADU, garage conversion, or home addition in San Jose, we put our name on it. Russ Delmar, Owner at Lodgewick ADU San Jose, runs every project under one written promise: the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That commitment is in writing on every project before the first nail goes in. You get a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee on every build, and a clean job site when we leave. It’s the same standard that has guided the Kingswell family of home-service companies since 2010.
And a lodge, by the way, is a small house on a larger property. That’s exactly what an ADU is. We build them right, and we back them in writing.
What’s Covered
- Workmanship on every structural element we build. Framing, roofing, drywall, flooring, electrical rough-in, plumbing connections, and finish work are done to San Jose code and covered by our written guarantee.
- Materials and parts we source or install. We work with established ADU brands and materials including Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie, and we stand behind how they’re installed on your property.
- Cleanup after every workday and at final walkthrough. The Kingswell Way means leaving the job site cleaner than we found it. No debris piles, no scattered fasteners, no mystery dust on your patio furniture.
- Arrival windows we actually honor. You get a defined arrival window before work begins. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when they said they would. No guessing games.
- Written pricing that doesn’t move. The price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders rolled out mid-build, no “unforeseen conditions” surprises at the door.
- Permit paperwork handled correctly. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and fix anything an inspector flags. You don’t chase the City of San Jose Building Division.
Our Satisfaction Promise
Here’s the straight version. If something about your Lodgewick ADU San Jose build isn’t done right, you call us. A live person answers our phone at (669) 266-4319, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail. Not a chatbot. You explain the problem, we schedule a return visit, and we fix it at no charge within the 365-day guarantee period. That’s the free return visit written into the guarantee you get before work starts.
We don’t argue about whether the issue matters. If our work fell short of what we promised in writing, we’re back on site. Russ Delmar expects every homeowner to hold us to the exact terms of the guarantee. The whole point of putting it in writing is that you don’t have to take our word for it. You have the paper.
This applies equally to a full detached ADU in Willow Glen, a garage conversion in the Rose Garden, or a home addition off Monterey Road. The guarantee travels with the work.
Licensed & Insured Backing
Our Licensed & Insured standing in San Jose is the backstop behind every promise we make. Licensing means the work is inspected against California Building Code and San Jose’s local amendments. Insurance means your property is protected if something goes wrong on site. Bonds add another layer on top. When a contractor says they’ll stand behind their work, the license and insurance are what make that claim enforceable, not just polite. It’s the difference between a handshake and a paper trail.
Every Lodgewick ADU San Jose project operates under the same structure: a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every job, with a free return visit if the work fails within the 365-day guarantee period. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee. It applies to accessory dwelling units (ADUs, which are separate living units on the same lot as your house), JADUs (junior accessory dwelling units, typically 500 square feet or less and often carved out of an existing home), garage conversions, and full home additions.
What the Guarantee Does Not Cover
We’re upfront about this because homeowners deserve the unvarnished version. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship and the installation of materials we source. It does not extend to normal wear and tear, damage caused by homeowner modifications, acts of nature, or separate manufacturer warranties on prefab structures. When we install an Abodu, Dvele, or Mighty Buildings unit, the manufacturer’s own structural warranty applies to that shell, and we’ll walk you through exactly what that means before you sign anything.
If you’re unsure whether something is covered, call (669) 266-4319 and ask. A live person answers, every time. If the answer is yes, we schedule the visit. If it’s no, we explain why in plain English. No fine-print runaround.
How a Guarantee Claim Works in San Jose
The process is deliberately simple. You notice something isn’t right with the work we did. You call (669) 266-4319. A live team member logs your concern with your project details. We review the written guarantee on your job file and confirm whether the issue falls within the 365-day window. We schedule a return visit in a defined window, send a background-checked, uniformed technician in a marked vehicle, and fix the problem. You sign off only when the fix is done to your satisfaction. If it fails again within the guarantee period, we come back again.
No claim forms. No third-party warranty administrator in another state. You deal directly with Lodgewick ADU San Jose.
Why We Put It in Writing
Most contractors don’t. The standard in this industry is a verbal promise that evaporates the moment the final check clears. We find that embarrassing. A 365-day written guarantee changes how we build, because we know the work has to hold up under scrutiny. It changes how we run crews, because a sloppy corner cut is a return visit we pay for. It changes how we buy materials, because cheap parts fail on our dime, not yours.
Russ Delmar keeps a copy of the guarantee on every single project file. If you lose yours, call us and we’ll send another. The guarantee is the point, not the paperwork.
Get the Written Guarantee Before You Commit
You don’t have to sign a construction contract to see our guarantee language. We’ll show you the 365-Day Done Right Promise and the written price before you make any decision. If another ADU contractor won’t show you their guarantee in advance, ask yourself why.
Call (669) 266-4319 to talk about your ADU, garage conversion, or home addition project in San Jose. We’ll give you real dollar ranges on the first call, walk you through brands and materials that fit your lot and budget, and put every commitment in writing before any work starts.
