Best ADU Design and Contracting Companies in San Diego County
Hello BP community! I'm looking into building a detached ADU at our primary residence in La Mesa.
Does anyone have recommendations for ADU design and construction companies in San Diego county? I've already reached out to 85 Design but looking for more, preferably a company familiar with La Mesa since the city can be especially tough with permits, etc.
Thank you!

Hey @Doug Spence!
I used Design Appruv on my first ADU and they have since gone bankrupt and stole everyone's money :/...so don't use them, but do look up their Yelp reviews if you want a good chuckle.
My buddy CJ just left ADU Geeks and is starting his own company - I think for quite a significant discount. I can put you in touch with him! I am pursuing a few larger companies myself as I am building 3 different ADU projects this year, but I haven't really gotten started enough with any of them in order to give positive/negative feedback.
Do you have financing already setup for your project?
