The Lodgewick ADU Ventura Guarantee
Every project we build in Ventura carries the same written guarantee, handed to you before the first tool comes off the truck. It’s called the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it says exactly this: if the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right. Not a phone call to a call center. Not a warranty department that puts you on hold. A written commitment on paper that you hold from day one. For homeowners adding an ADU, converting a garage, or building an addition, that piece of paper matters more than any sales pitch. It means Russ Delmar and our crew are accountable to you for a full year after the final walkthrough. Call (831) 230-7250 and we’ll walk you through what the guarantee covers on your specific project.
What’s Covered
- Workmanship on every phase of the build. Framing, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, trim, and every connection in between is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
- Parts and materials we supply. If a material we installed fails within the guarantee period, we handle the replacement, including the return visit at no cost to you.
- Clean site condition at the end of every workday. The Kingswell Way means we leave your Ventura property cleaner than we found it, every single day, no exceptions.
- Honest, written pricing before work starts. You get a written price before any work begins, and that price doesn’t change at the door. No change orders unless you ask for a change.
- Defined arrival windows. We tell you when we’ll be there, and we show up in the window we gave you. If something changes, you hear it from a live person, not a voicemail.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians on site. Everyone who steps onto your property has been vetted, and you’ll always know who they are.
Our Satisfaction Promise
If something isn’t right, you don’t have to argue with us about whether we’re going to fix it. You call (831) 230-7250, a live person answers, and we schedule a return visit. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is the satisfaction promise, and it’s already in writing on every project before we begin. Here’s the process: you tell us what’s wrong, we send a technician to look at it, and if the work fell short of what we agreed to, we make it right. If the work fails within the 365-day guarantee period, the return visit is free. That’s the entire point. Russ Delmar doesn’t believe in making a homeowner chase down a fix. The guarantee is there so you never have to. If you’re comparing ADU contractors in Ventura, ask each one what they’ll put in writing. We already know what ours says.
Licensed & Insured Backing
A written guarantee only means something if the company behind it is still standing. We’re a licensed and insured contractor serving Ventura, which means there’s a real regulatory and insurance structure behind every promise we make. If something goes wrong beyond the scope of the workmanship guarantee, our insurance is in place to address it. That’s the part of the guarantee nobody wants to think about until they need it. We carry the proper licensing and insurance for residential ADU construction, garage conversions, and home additions in Ventura County. You’re welcome to ask for documentation at any point during the estimate process, and we’ll provide it. The paper guarantee and the licensed backing work together: one says what we’ll do, the other proves we have the standing to do it.
What the 365-Day Done Right Promise Means on Your Build
Most guarantee language is written to protect the contractor. Ours is written to be read. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to the work we perform and the materials we supply. If a poorly set window leaks in February, we come back. If a seam in the siding separates in September, we come back. If a hinge we hung starts sagging in month six, we come back. Free return visit, within the window, with the same crew standard you got on day one. The promise doesn’t cover normal wear and tear, and it doesn’t cover damage from things like a tree falling on the structure or modifications made by another contractor after we finish. But if the work we did isn’t holding up the way it should, that’s on us, in writing, for 365 days.
The Kingswell Way on Every Job Site
Lodgewick ADU Ventura operates under a simple set of ground rules called The Kingswell Way. You’ll see it on every project, from a small JADU conversion to a full detached accessory dwelling unit. We say the price before the work begins, and we put it in writing. We show up in the window we gave you. We leave the job site cleaner than we found it, every day. We put the guarantee in writing before work starts. And if the work fails within the guarantee period, we come back and make it right. That’s it. No fine print gymnastics. No “subject to management approval.” This is how we’ve run build projects since the company was founded in 2010, and it’s how we’ll run yours.
How the Guarantee Works With Prefab ADU Brands
We work hands-on with the leading ADU manufacturers and materials suppliers, including Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie. Here’s how the guarantee layers with factory components. When we install a prefab unit, the manufacturer’s own warranty covers the factory-built parts. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the site preparation, the foundation connection, the assembly, the utility hookups, the finish work, and anything we touch or install on your property. If you have a problem, you call us first. We’ll figure out whether it’s a factory issue or a site issue, and we’ll coordinate with the manufacturer if needed. You don’t have to run point on a warranty claim. Call (831) 230-7250 and let us sort out the details.
What the Guarantee Costs You
Nothing extra. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is included with every project. We don’t sell it as an add-on. We don’t charge a warranty fee. It’s part of the written estimate you receive before any work starts, on every project, no exceptions. If a contractor in Ventura wants you to pay extra for a workmanship guarantee, ask yourself what that says about how they build. Our guarantee is the baseline, not an upgrade. And if you want to know what it would cost to build your ADU, garage conversion, or addition under this guarantee, call (831) 230-7250 for a free estimate with written pricing.
Questions Ventura Homeowners Ask About Our Guarantee
How long does the guarantee last?
Our workmanship guarantee runs for 365 days from the date we finish the project. It’s called the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s written into every contract before work begins. If the work fails within that year, the return visit is free. Call (831) 230-7250 for specifics on your project.
What if the price changes once work starts?
It won’t. A written price is provided before any work starts, and that’s the price. The only way the number changes is if you ask for a change to the scope of work, and that gets documented in writing before we pick up a hammer. No surprises at the door. Call (831) 230-7250 for your written estimate.
Do you pull permits for ADU projects in Ventura?
Yes. Permits are part of every ADU build, garage conversion, and home addition we do in Ventura. We handle the permit application, the inspections, and the final sign-off. A permit isn’t just red tape; it’s the city’s way of verifying the work is safe and built to code. We coordinate with the City of Ventura’s building department so you don’t have to navigate it yourself.
What does “written guarantee” actually mean?
It means a piece of paper, signed by us, that spells out what we’ll do if the work isn’t right. You get it before work begins, not after. If you need to use it, you call (831) 230-7250, a live person answers, and we schedule the return visit. No phone trees, no “submit a claim online.”
Will you match the guarantee if something fails at 400 days?
The written promise covers 365 days. But here’s what we’ll tell you as a homeowner in Ventura: call us anyway. If something we built fails just outside the window, we want to know about it, and we’ll talk to you about what’s reasonable. Russ Delmar stands behind the work he signs off on. The guarantee is the floor, not the ceiling. Call (831) 230-7250 and we’ll make it right.
