Our Guarantee & Warranty - Lodgewick ADU Los Angeles

The Lodgewick ADU Los Angeles Guarantee

We put our guarantee in writing before the first tool comes off the truck. That’s not a slogan. It’s the way Lodgewick ADU Los Angeles has operated since 2010, and it’s what Russ Delmar requires on every project, from a 220-square-foot garage conversion in Van Nuys to a two-bedroom detached ADU in the San Fernando Valley. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means exactly what it sounds like: if the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right, free of charge, within a full year of completion. You get a written price before any work starts, a written guarantee delivered with that price, and a clean job site when we leave. A lodge, after all, is a small house on a larger property. That’s what an ADU is. And that’s what we build.

What’s Covered

• Workmanship, for a full year. Every build, every garage conversion, every home addition carries written coverage under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something we built fails within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no cost to you.
• Materials and brand handling. We work hands-on with Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie products. If a material issue tied to our installation comes up, we handle the coordination and make it right.
• A written price before work begins. No verbal estimates that drift. You receive a line-item price in writing before we start, and that price doesn’t change at the door. No change orders slipped in mid-project.
• Cleanup as part of the job. The Kingswell Way governs how our crews behave: 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. Cleanup isn’t an extra. It’s standard.
• Background-checked, uniformed technicians. You’ll always know who’s on your Los Angeles property. Every crew member is background-checked and uniformed, so there’s no wondering who’s walking your side yard in Eagle Rock or Mar Vista.

Our Satisfaction Promise

If something isn’t right, you don’t have to chase us. You call (213) 698-7116, a live person answers, and we open a file on your guarantee claim the same day. That’s the entire process, and we’ve kept it deliberately short because a guarantee that requires you to jump through hoops isn’t a guarantee, it’s a runaround. Within the 365-day window, any workmanship failure means we schedule the return visit, show up at the time we said, and stay until the problem is resolved. Russ Delmar has seen plenty of projects where a subcontractor ghosted or a warranty went unanswered. This company exists to be the opposite of that. If your ADU door binds six months after completion, or your garage conversion roof flashing lets water through during a winter storm, we’re back on-site. The fix is free. That’s the promise.

Licensed & Insured Backing

A written guarantee is only as strong as the company standing behind it. Lodgewick ADU Los Angeles is licensed and insured, which means every project is backed by state-level accountability, not just a handshake. If something goes wrong on a build, our insurance exists to cover it. Our license means the city of Los Angeles requires us to meet the same code standards on the hundredth project as we did on the first. Russ Delmar carries that weight on every home addition and accessory dwelling unit we build, from the South Bay to the Eastside. When you’re putting a second dwelling on your lot, the paperwork matters as much as the framing. Ours backs up what we promise.

How the 365-Day Done Right Promise Works

Here’s what the guarantee looks like in practice. You hire us to convert a garage in West Adams into a JADU, a junior accessory dwelling unit, which is a smaller attached conversion under 500 square feet. We give you a written price. We start on the agreed date. We finish, we clean the site, and we hand you a written guarantee before you make the final payment. Eleven months later, you notice a cabinet door pulling away from its hinges because a stud settled. You call (213) 698-7116. A live person answers, takes the details, and schedules the return trip. We show up, fix it, and leave. You pay nothing. That’s the entire promise, and if that process sounds basic, it should be. Most contractors in Los Angeles simply don’t do it.

What the Guarantee Doesn’t Cover

We’re honest about limits, because a guarantee that pretends to cover everything is a guarantee that covers nothing. Normal wear and tear isn’t covered. Damage from misuse, alterations made by another contractor, or events outside our control, earthquakes being the obvious Los Angeles example, fall outside the 365-day Done Right Promise. Manufacturer warranties on prefab units like Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, and Boxabl are separate from our workmanship guarantee, and we’ll walk you through what each manufacturer covers before you commit. What we cover is what we built and installed: the framing, the finishes, the connections, the workmanship. If our work fails, we fix it. Simple.

Why We Put It in Writing

Every contractor in Los Angeles says they stand behind their work. Almost none of them will hand you a written guarantee before the job starts. That’s the difference, and it’s the whole point of the Kingswell Guarantee. A verbal promise dissolves. A written one doesn’t. When Russ Delmar started building ADUs in 2010, he watched too many homeowners get burned by contractors who disappeared the moment the check cleared. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is the direct answer to that. You get the price in writing. You get the guarantee in writing. You get the return visit in writing, if the work fails within a year. Room to grow, right on your lot. That’s what we sell, and the guarantee is how we back it.
