Lodgewick ADU Ventura builds accessory dwelling units, garage conversions, and home additions in Somis, CA. If you’re weighing an ADU on your Somis property, the short version is this: most projects in this area run between $180,000 and $420,000 depending on size, site prep, and finish level, and the single biggest variable on Somis lots is grading and access. That’s the number we put in writing before you commit. Call (831) 230-7250 to talk through your lot and get a real estimate.
Why Somis Homes Are Different
Somis sits in a pocket of Ventura County where ranch-sized lots and citrus groves still outnumber tract housing. That changes ADU work in three ways. First, setbacks and lot lines on older agricultural parcels don’t always match what county GIS maps show, so we verify the actual boundary before we quote. Second, many Somis properties slope gently toward the Santa Clara River drainage, which means foundation work often needs a little more attention than a flat Camarillo lot ever would. Third, the mix of older ranch homes and newer custom builds means two neighbors on the same road can have completely different electrical service capacity, and that drives whether your ADU project needs a panel upgrade or can tie into existing power.
Permits in Somis go through Ventura County, not a city planning department. That’s a real difference. County reviewers typically want a full site plan showing setbacks from property lines, existing structures, and any protected trees. We handle that paperwork as part of the job. Homeowners who’ve been through a county permit process before know it moves at its own pace; our job is to keep your project moving while the county does its thing.
Our Main Somis Services
Most Somis homeowners call us about one of three things: adding square footage to the existing home, converting a detached garage into living space, or building a freestanding ADU in the back corner of the lot. Here’s what each looks like on a Somis property.
Home Addition Contractor in Somis
A home addition in Somis usually means extending outward on a lot that has room to spare. We tie the new foundation into the existing slab or raised foundation, match the roofline so the addition doesn’t look bolted on, and run new electrical from your panel. On ranch-style homes common around Somis, single-story additions tend to move faster than second-story work because we’re not opening up the whole roof structure. See the full breakdown at Home Addition Contractor in Somis.
Garage Conversion Contractor in Somis
Detached garages in Somis are often older structures built for farm equipment or a single car, and the conversion work starts with the slab. We check it for cracks and level, then frame interior walls, insulate, run electrical, and add a proper entry door. Because county code treats a garage conversion as a change of use, we include the permit drawings and inspections in the quote. Details are on the Garage Conversion Contractor in Somis page.
ADU Builders in Somis
A freestanding ADU on a Somis lot gives you a separate address, separate utilities, and full privacy from the main house. We handle site prep, foundation, utility trenching, and the structure itself, then finish the interior to the same standard as a primary home. Because Somis lots vary so much in slope and soil, we walk the site before quoting. Learn what’s involved at ADU Builders in Somis.

FAQs About ADU Company in Somis
Ventura County typically takes 8 to 16 weeks for ADU permit review, depending on current volume and whether your parcel has any special conditions. We submit complete plans up front, which is the single best way to avoid a delay. Call (831) 230-7250 for a current estimate on your specific property.
Some Somis parcels fall under HOA or ranch association rules, and those can add approval steps beyond the county permit. We ask about any HOA documentation at the first site visit so nothing surprises you mid-project. It’s one of the first things we check when quoting.
We can usually get to a Somis property for an initial walk-through within about a week, and a written estimate follows shortly after. If you’re planning around a specific season or rental timeline, call (831) 230-7250 early so the permit clock starts when you want it to.
