The Lodgewick ADU Riverside Guarantee
Here’s what our guarantee means in plain terms: we put the price in writing before any work starts, we show up when we say we will, we leave your Riverside property cleaner than we found it, and when the job is done, you get a written guarantee in your hand. Not a verbal promise. Not a “trust us.” A document. If the work isn’t right within 365 days of completion, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s been part of every project we’ve done since Russ Delmar started this company in 2010. No fine print. No phone tag. You call, a live person answers, and we schedule the return visit.
What’s Covered
- Workmanship on every build and repair. If our framing, drywall, flooring, roofing, electrical rough-in, or finish carpentry fails within 365 days of completion, we return and fix it at no cost to you.
- Written pricing before work begins. You get a line-item price in writing before we order a single board or schedule a single inspection. That price does not change at the door, mid-project, or at the final walkthrough.
- Defined arrival windows. When we schedule work at your Riverside home, we give you a window for when our crew arrives. We hit that window. If we miss it, you’ll hear from us before the window closes, not after.
- Clean job site, every day. An ADU build or garage conversion generates debris, dust, and scrap. We contain it daily and do a full cleanup at the end. We leave the site the way we’d want our own yard left.
- Background-checked, uniformed crew. Every person on your property is background-checked and wears a Lodgewick uniform. You always know who is on your lot and why they’re there.
- Parts and materials handling. When we supply materials for your project, we stand behind their installation. If a supplied component fails due to our installation within the 365-day period, we replace the labor and coordinate with the manufacturer on the material.
- Brand-matched builds. We work with established ADU systems including Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, plus Tuff Shed structures and James Hardie siding. We match the right system to your Riverside lot, budget, and timeline, and we stand behind the assembly and finish work on every one of them.
Our Satisfaction Promise
If something isn’t right after we finish, here’s exactly what happens. You call (831) 292-4191. A live person answers, day or night, not a voicemail tree and not a chatbot. You explain what’s wrong. We schedule a return visit. Russ Delmar or a senior crew lead walks the issue with you, on site, and we determine what needs to be corrected. If it falls within the 365-day window, we fix it at no charge. If it falls outside the window but was our error, we still make it right. That’s the standard we’ve held since 2010, and it’s the reason we put the guarantee in writing on every single project. You don’t have to argue. You don’t have to chase us. You call, and we come back. That’s what the 365-Day Done Right Promise means, and it’s what every Riverside homeowner gets before we ever break ground.
Licensed & Insured Backing
A written guarantee is only as good as the company behind it. Lodgewick ADU Riverside operates licensed and insured, which means every project we build is backed by the state’s contractor requirements and by liability coverage that protects your property and our crew. That matters on ADU projects in Riverside because these builds involve structural work, electrical, plumbing, and roofing. A handyman with a truck can’t pull permits or pass inspections on a garage conversion. We can, and we do. When you sign with us, your guarantee is backed by a licensed contractor with insurance, not by a verbal promise from someone you met on an app. Russ Delmar runs the company, answers for the work, and stands behind every project with his name on the line.
How Much Does the Guarantee Cost?
Nothing. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is included on every project at no added cost. It’s not an upsell, not a service plan, not a “extended warranty” package. It’s written into your project agreement before work starts. When we hand you the written price for your ADU, garage conversion, or home addition in Riverside, the written guarantee comes with it. You’ll know exactly what’s covered, exactly how long the coverage runs, and exactly what to do if something fails. No separate purchase. No activation fee. No fine print.
What the Guarantee Does Not Cover
We’ll be straight with you about this, because a guarantee with hidden gaps isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship and our installation. It does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from weather events or flooding, homeowner modifications made after we finish, or maintenance issues like clogged gutters or HVAC filter changes. It also does not extend or replace the manufacturer’s warranty on prefab ADU systems like Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, or Plant Prefab, nor on materials like James Hardie siding or Tuff Shed structures. Those carry their own manufacturer terms. What we do is coordinate with the manufacturer if a warrantied component fails during your build. If there’s ever a question about what’s covered, call (831) 292-4191 and ask. We’ll tell you straight.
The Kingswell Way on Every Riverside Job
Lodgewick ADU Riverside is part of the Kingswell family of home-service companies, founded in 2010. The Kingswell Way is a simple operating standard that every job runs on: say the price before the work, show up in the window given, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Five commitments. That’s the whole thing. And the name fits the work: a lodge is a small house on a larger property, which is exactly what an ADU is. Room to grow, right on your lot. When you hire us for an ADU or garage conversion in Riverside, you’re hiring a crew that follows that standard from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.
What Happens If You’re Not Satisfied?
The process is simple, and it’s designed to remove stress, not add to it. First, call (831) 292-4191. You’ll reach a live person who takes down the issue and gets it to Russ Delmar. Second, we schedule a return visit fast, typically within a few business days for non-urgent issues and sooner if it’s a safety or security concern. Third, we assess the problem on site with you present, explain what went wrong, and confirm whether it falls under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it does, we fix it. No invoice. No debate. Fourth, we follow up after the fix to confirm you’re satisfied and the issue is closed. That’s the full loop. It works because it’s short, clear, and run by people who answer the phone.
Why a Written Guarantee Matters in Riverside
Riverside sees real heat in the summer, and that heat stresses building materials in ways coastal cities don’t deal with. Siding expands, roofing underlayment bakes, framing moves. An ADU built without attention to that climate will show problems within the first year. Our guarantee covers that first year specifically because that’s when climate stress and construction defects show up. If the heat warps a door we hung or the drywall cracks where we framed it, we’re back to fix it. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s why the 365-day window exists, and it’s why the guarantee is in writing. A Riverside homeowner shouldn’t have to wonder whether their contractor will answer the phone in August when the issue appears. We answer. We come back. We make it right.
Get Your Project Priced in Writing
The first step to a guaranteed ADU, garage conversion, or home addition in Riverside is a written estimate.

That price includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (831) 292-4191 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers, day or night.
