What Fresno Homeowners Say About Lodgewick ADU Fresno
Reviews matter more in construction than almost any other trade, because nobody gets to test-drive an ADU before they pay for it. You’re trusting a crew with your lot, your savings, and often a family member who plans to live in that new space. We earn those reviews the slow way: written pricing before work starts, a named guarantee, and crews who leave the job site cleaner than they found it. Here’s what some of your Fresno neighbors have said after working with Russ Delmar and the Lodgewick ADU Fresno team.
Recent Reviews
“We converted our detached garage in the Tower District into a one-bedroom for my mother-in-law. The permit process took longer than the framing did. Lodgewick told us up front that Fresno’s planning department was running about six to eight weeks on ADU permits, and they were right. The written price never moved, not once.”
Robert A. – Tower District, Fresno
“I interviewed four contractors for a backyard unit off Bullard and West. Three of them gave me a verbal number and then got vague when I asked for it on paper. Lodgewick sent a written price before I even signed anything. They also walked me through why they recommended a kit from Abodu for our lot instead of a custom build, which saved us about thirty grand.”
Yolanda G. – Northwest Fresno
“Our garage conversion in Sunnyside hit a snag when the crew found old knob-and-tube wiring behind the drywall. Nobody’s fault. But I didn’t get a surprise invoice the next week. The project manager called me that afternoon, explained the fix, and the cost was already covered because they had flagged electrical as a possible unknown in the written estimate. That’s the kind of thing that makes you trust somebody.”
Marco H. – Sunnyside, Fresno
“We put a Mighty Buildings prefab unit in our backyard near Fresno High. The crane day was the easiest part of the whole build, which sounds weird, but Lodgewick had done the site prep exactly right. Foundation was level, utilities were stubbed in where they said they’d be, and the unit dropped into place in about four hours. Our neighbors came out to watch. It was done by summer.”
Robert A. – Fresno High area
“I needed a JADU, not a full ADU, because our house near Woodward Park already had an attached garage we weren’t using. Russ was honest that not every lot can support a detached unit with Fresno’s setbacks. He actually talked me out of spending more money. The JADU came in at just under ninety thousand, and now our son pays us rent instead of an apartment complex on Herndon.”
Rafael M. – Woodward Park, Fresno
“The crew showed up in uniforms and introduced themselves by name the first morning. I work from home, so I was around the entire build. They kept the side yard tarped, swept the driveway every evening, and never left trash in the street. When the city inspector came for the final ADU inspection, he passed it the first time. Lodgewick’s written guarantee said they’d come back free if anything failed within a year, and nothing has.”

Crews that look and act professional: background-checked, uniformed, and trained in The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window given, leave the place cleaner than found, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.
