Home Remodeling in Pacific Beach
Planning a home remodel in Pacific Beach? Pacific Beach has small, dense lots and many older cottages and bungalows, often with alley-loaded garages.

Permits for a home remodel in Pacific Beach
The City of San Diego requires a building permit for every ADU and junior ADU, with no exemptions. Its rules are summarized in Information Bulletin 400. Source: City of San Diego, Information Bulletin 400.
Coastal Zone: parts of Pacific Beach are inside the California Coastal Zone. Projects there can need a coastal development permit on top of the building permit, which adds review time. We check your parcel before design starts.
We prepare the plan set, submit it, answer plan-check corrections, and schedule every inspection through final sign-off.

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 Pacific Beach homeowners to first, because it shows our permitting, structural, and finish work in one place.
