What Riverside Homeowners Say About Lodgewick ADU Riverside
Reviews matter because an ADU is a six-figure decision most homeowners make once. You can’t test-drive a garage conversion or return a prefab unit if the fit and finish disappoint you. Russ Delmar and the Lodgewick ADU Riverside crew earn every review the slow way: a written price before the first tool comes off the truck, a crew in uniform that leaves the site cleaner than they found it, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every project. Here’s what people in Riverside actually tell us.
Recent Reviews
We converted our detached two-car garage in the Wood Streets into a one-bedroom ADU for my mother-in-law. Lodgewick gave us the written price before demo started and it never moved a penny. The James Hardie siding they matched to our main house looks like it was always there. Our tenant moved in three months after the first inspection.

I had three ADU contractors walk my lot in Canyon Crest before I called Lodgewick. They were the only ones who told me upfront that my sewer lateral needed upgrading before a JADU would pass inspection, and they put that cost in the written quote on day one. No surprises at the end. Russ walked the final inspection with us and the inspector passed it on the first visit.

We built a Boxabl on a sloping corner of our property in Hawarden Hills. Lodgewick’s crew knew exactly how to prep the pad and tie into the existing utilities. They showed up in the window they gave us, every single day. The job site was spotless at the end of each workday, and the framing crew was in uniform and clearly background-checked. That matters when they’re on your property for a month.

My garage conversion in Orangecrest hit a snag when we found old termite damage behind the drywall. Lodgewick didn’t pretend it wasn’t there or jack up the price mid-job. They showed me the damage, walked me through the fix, and put the change in writing before any remediation work started. The Kingswell Way is real. Six months later, the house settled and a small drywall crack appeared. They came back and fixed it within a week under the Done Right Promise. No charge.

We ordered a Dvele prefab ADU and needed a local contractor to handle the site work, foundation, and utility hookups. Lodgewick was recommended by the Dvele rep, and I understand why. They coordinated directly with the manufacturer, handled the Riverside permit office themselves, and when the city’s planning review asked for a revised drainage plan, Russ handled it without me making a single phone call. That alone was worth the price.

Lodgewick added a 540-square-foot attached ADU to our home in La Sierra for my adult son. The water heater failed in month ten, not due to their work but a faulty unit from the manufacturer. Lodgewick still came out, diagnosed it, and replaced it under the guarantee at no cost to us. The return visit was free, and the replacement was covered. That’s why I tell every neighbor asking about ADUs to call them first.

Why Customers Trust Us
There’s a pattern in these Riverside reviews. Nobody mentions a lowball price. They mention a written price that held. Nobody mentions a fast sales pitch. They mention a crew that showed up when promised, in uniform, and left the site cleaner than found. What earns trust in ADU work isn’t a clever tagline. It’s the guarantee that’s written on every project before work begins, named clearly: the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a year, we come back and fix it. That’s the commitment Russ Delmar makes on every garage conversion, home addition, and prefab ADU installation in Riverside. When you have a question about your build, a live person answers the phone, day or night, not a voicemail loop. If you’re weighing an ADU on your lot, call (831) 292-4191 and ask for a written estimate. You’ll know the real number before you decide anything.
