"They built a detached ADU in our backyard and the whole process was smoother than I expected. The crew was respectful of our property and the finished unit looks like it was always part of the house."
"We hired Summit for a full kitchen remodel and they delivered on time and on budget. Communication was excellent—our project manager sent updates every single day without us having to ask."
"After getting quotes from four different contractors, Summit was the only one who gave us a detailed breakdown and actually explained the permit process. The bathroom turned out beautiful."

Factors like slope, utility connections, and permitting requirements can shift the budget significantly. We provide a detailed estimate after an on-site assessment so you have real numbers before committing.

Most remodeling work in La Jolla requires permits from the City of San Diego, especially if you're changing the layout, adding square footage, or touching electrical and plumbing systems. We handle the entire permitting process for you so nothing gets held up at the city.
Most single-family properties in La Jolla are eligible for at least one ADU under current California and San Diego regulations. Lot size, zoning, and existing structures all factor in. We do a free feasibility check to confirm what's allowed on your specific property.
We offer design-build services, which means we handle both the design and construction under one contract. This keeps the project streamlined and reduces miscommunication between separate design and build teams. If you already have plans from an architect, we're happy to work from those too.
We serve La Jolla and surrounding San Diego communities including Pacific Beach, Del Mar, University City, Clairemont, Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Carmel Valley. If you're in the greater San Diego coastal area, there's a good chance we can help.
