Why Lodgewick ADU Fresno Is Clovis’s Preferred Home Addition Contractor Company
Russ Delmar leads our Clovis work, and he’s been scoping additions on the east side’s alley-loaded lots long enough to know which plan check reviewers want the cool-roof calculation shown first. Every Clovis project runs under The Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window for our crew, a clean job site at the end of each day, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right within a year, we come back and fix it. No phone tag, no “we’ll get to it” – it’s in the contract.
We’re the ADU and additions arm of the Kingswell family of home-service companies, established in 2010. The name Lodgewick isn’t a coincidence – a lodge is a small house on a larger property, which is exactly what a well-built addition or ADU becomes. In Clovis, that often means a detached addition with rear alley access near Clovis East High School, or a garage conversion in Harlan Ranch where the HOA wants materials matched to the original 2005 construction. We’ve done both.
Homeowners tell us the same thing again and again: they got a quote from someone who never pulled a permit, or the price changed the day the crew arrived. Our process is different. The price Russ gives you is the price on the contract. If we find something unexpected during framing – and in Clovis it’s usually a drainage conflict on an alley-loaded lot, which we’ll catch in the site survey anyway – we document it, show you the issue, and agree on any change in writing before a single nail moves. That’s The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, guarantee it in writing, and come back if it fails.
When you call, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail tree, not a chatbot. 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Garage Addition Contractors in Clovis
Garage Addition Contractors in Clovis handle one of the most common expansion projects on the east and northeast sides of the city, where 1990s and 2000s single-family homes sit on lots large enough for a third bay or a full detached two-car addition. Homeowners add garage space in Clovis for a growing fleet of vehicles, RV storage, workshop needs, or as a shell for a future ADU conversion. A standard attached garage addition in Clovis runs $45,000 to $90,000. A detached two-car garage addition with alley access typically lands between $70,000 and $125,000, depending on whether you’re matching stucco and tile roofing to the existing home.
Detached Garage Additions With Alley Access
Clovis east side neighborhoods like Harlan Ranch and those near Clovis East High School are built on alley-loaded lots. That’s a real advantage for a detached garage addition – we can stage materials from the rear alley, keep your street completely clear, and orient the garage door toward the alley so your front yard stays untouched. The lot geometry drives the footprint, which means our first site visit is about measuring setbacks and drainage fall, not guessing. A mistake here causes plan check rejections, so we verify alley width and access easements before anything goes to the city.
Matching Existing Materials
The prevalence of tile roofs and stucco exteriors across Clovis means a garage addition that doesn’t match will stick out – and some HOAs will flag it. We pull a roofing and siding material match from your original construction, so the addition reads as part of the house, not a bolt-on. This matters when the HOA inspects, and it matters for resale.
Bathroom Addition Contractor in Clovis
A Bathroom Addition Contractor in Clovis usually adds a full or half bath to a home where the existing floor plan didn’t anticipate a growing household – common in the 1990s builds around Harlan Ranch and the neighborhoods off Shepherd Avenue. A full bathroom addition with standard fixtures in Clovis runs $35,000 to $75,000. A half bath or powder room addition typically lands between $18,000 and $35,000. Master bath additions, which include a larger footprint and often structural changes to the primary suite, run $60,000 to $110,000.
Plumbing and Slab Work on 1990s+ Homes
Clovis homes built from the 1990s onward are mostly slab-on-grade, which changes how a bathroom addition ties into the plumbing. We core through the slab carefully and run waste lines to grade without disturbing the rest of the floor. It’s cleaner than the crawlspace work you’d see in older Fresno homes, and it’s why we don’t need to pad a Clovis quote with foundation contingencies that don’t apply.
Buffer Against Hard Water
Clovis water is hard – we see mineral buildup in supply lines and fixtures on nearly every project. When we add a bath, we spec fixtures and valves rated for hard water and recommend a whole-house softener loop if the home doesn’t already have one. It’s a small thing during construction and a big thing three years later.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
When a Clovis homeowner wants a prefabricated component or a panelized system, we work with Cover, Dvele, and Boxabl. Each has a different strength – Cover panels suit tight lot geometries well, Dvele builds high-performance envelope systems that help with Title 24 compliance in eastern foothills zones, and Boxabl works for compact additions where a quick assembly timeline matters. We don’t push a brand; we match one to your lot, budget, and the materials already on your house. Russ can walk you through the trade-offs in plain English at the site visit. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so the people on your property are the people we said would be there.
Common Home Addition Contractor Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Alley-loaded lot assumptions. If the survey misses a rear alley easement, the garage door or driveway grading can conflict with drainage patterns and trigger a plan check rejection. We verify alley access and setback geometry on the first visit, not after the permit is filed.
- Misapplied Fresno pricing contingencies. Some contractors quote Clovis additions with older-home costs baked in – foundation upgrades from pier-and-beam, sewer line relocations, footing over-excavation. Clovis’s mostly 1990s+ slab-on-grade stock doesn’t need most of that. We scope it for what’s actually under your house.
- Title 24 cool-roof misses. Additions in Clovis’s eastern foothills wildfire zone fall under Fire Zone 13 requirements, which often means high-albedo or cool-roof materials and specific eave construction. Skipping this gets a plan check rejection. We include it in the first drawing set.
- HVAC sizing shortcuts. Clovis summers regularly exceed 100°F, and an addition that shares the existing HVAC system without proper load calculations will cook in July and freeze in January. We size duct and return air for the new square footage, not the old system’s limits.
Pricing for Home Addition Contractor in Clovis, CA
Clovis addition pricing breaks down roughly like this: $45,000 – $90,000 for an attached garage addition, $70,000 – $125,000 for a detached garage with alley access, $18,000 – $35,000 for a half bath, $35,000 – $75,000 for a full bathroom addition, and $85,000 – $240,000 for a larger room addition or partial second story. The big cost movers are lot geometry (alley access can actually lower site costs), material matching requirements from an HOA, and whether the addition triggers a panel upgrade or dedicated HVAC zone.

FAQs About Home Addition Contractor in Clovis
Clovis has streamlined its pre-approved ADU plan program, and while full custom home additions still go through standard plan review, the city’s residential plan check process is faster than many neighboring jurisdictions. Most single-family addition permits in Clovis clear in 3 to 6 weeks. A detached addition with a pre-approved ADU component can move even faster because part of the plan set is already blessed by the city. Call (559) 354-0579 and we’ll tell you which review track your project falls into.
In Clovis, a detached home addition typically takes 3 to 6 weeks for residential plan review, while Fresno often runs 6 to 10 weeks for the same scope. The difference is the condition of the housing stock – Fresno has far more pre-1990 construction that triggers additional structural and sewer review, which slows the process. Clovis’s newer slab-on-grade homes have cleaner, more standardized submittals. That’s the honest answer from someone who files in both cities.
Alley-loaded lots – common east of Clovis East High School and in neighborhoods like Harlan Ranch – allow a detached addition to access the rear alley rather than the street. That means we can orient a garage door toward the alley, keep your front yard and curb appeal intact, and stage materials from the rear without blocking your street. It also means the setback requirements are measured from the alley, not the street, which changes the usable building envelope. We verify the exact easement width before we draw anything.
Clovis additions in the eastern foothills fall under Fire Zone 13 requirements, which often mandate cool-roof materials or high-albedo roofing, specific eave and vent construction, and fire-resistant exteriors. On the energy side, Title 24 requires insulation and HVAC sizing that can actually hold a 100°F-plus summer day without the AC running flat out. We incorporate cool-roof specs and proper load calculations into the first plan set, so plan check doesn’t bounce it back. Call (559) 354-0579 for a site-specific Title 24 review.
Clovis itself doesn’t mandate exact material matching, but many HOAs in newer subdivisions do, and the city’s design review process looks at visual compatibility. We’ve had a garage addition in Harlan Ranch pass HOA inspection on first review because we matched the 2005 tile roof and stucco color precisely. Matching materials typically adds 5 to 10 percent to the exterior cost, but it protects resale value and avoids an HOA flag.
