Featured project: the Curlew St lot split
At 3680–3682 Curlew St in San Diego, we added a second story to the main house and converted the garage into a separate unit. The owner now has two rentable addresses on one lot. It's the project we point El Cajon homeowners to first, because it shows our permitting, structural, and finish work in one place.
