Home Remodeling in Solana Beach

Planning a high-end home remodel in Solana Beach? Solana Beach mixes coastal lots west of the freeway with larger hillside and inland parcels to the east. Proactive Edge Developments is a CSLB-licensed San Diego County general contractor. We remodel homes end to end, handle the City of Solana Beach permit process, and include a free 3D rendering so you see the result before we start.

Permits for a home remodel in Solana Beach

Solana Beach sets its ADU standards in Municipal Code 17.20.040(D) and offers a Pre-Approved ADU program. Source: City of Solana Beach, SBMC 17.20.040(D).

Coastal Zone: parts of Solana 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 Solana Beach homeowners to first, because it shows our permitting, structural, and finish work in one place.
