What Ventura Homeowners Say About Lodgewick ADU Ventura
Reviews tell you what a contract can’t. Ventura homeowners want to know whether the crew showed up on time, whether the price on paper matched the final bill, and whether the garage conversion actually got permitted without months of back-and-forth with the city. We earn every one of these reviews through The Kingswell Way: a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, a job site left cleaner than we found it, and a written guarantee on every build. Here’s what your neighbors have said about working with us.
Recent Reviews
“We converted our detached two-car garage off Telegraph Road into a one-bedroom ADU for my mother-in-law. The concrete slab had settled almost two inches on the southeast corner, and Russ walked me through exactly what that meant for the framing before we signed anything. Final cost came in at $184,000, which matched the written estimate to the dollar. The city inspector passed it on the first visit.”

“Lodgewick handled our JADU, which most contractors in Ventura wouldn’t even bid on because the code requirements for attached units are such a headache. They pulled the permits, dealt with the fire separation requirements, and finished in 14 weeks. The crew was background-checked and in uniform every single day. You always knew who was walking onto your property.”
Eduardo M. – East Ventura
“We priced three ADU builders for a 749-square-foot prefab unit in our backyard. Lodgewick’s bid wasn’t the cheapest, but they were the only one who put the full price in writing before the first nail went in. No change orders, no surprise line items. They worked with the Mighty Buildings panel system and handled all the foundation and utility connections. Done right, done on time.”
Adel H. – College Area
“Our garage conversion behind a 1920s bungalow near Ventura High had old knob-and-tube wiring that needed full replacement before anything else could happen. The Lodgewick team flagged it in the walkthrough, gave us a written line item for the electrical work, and explained why the permit would require it. Some builders would have ‘discovered’ that mid-project. They told us day one.”
Nathan B. – Midtown Ventura
“We wanted a home office plus a guest suite, and Lodgewick showed us how a 500-square-foot backyard ADU could serve both. They recommended the Cover system after looking at our lot’s setback constraints, and the whole thing went from permit submittal to certificate of occupancy in five months. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing fluff. It’s a written guarantee we got before work began.”
Nicole T. – Midtown Ventura
“I’ll be honest: I expected the worst from a construction project in Ventura, where a lot of contractors over-promise and vanish. Lodgewick’s crew showed up in the window they gave us, every time. The job site was spotless at the end of each day. Our garage conversion came out at $212,000 with no surprises, and they came back twice after completion to adjust a door that kept sticking. No charge.”
