Own a Franchise - Lodgewick ADU Builders

Own a Lodgewick ADU Builders Franchise

Since 2010, Lodgewick ADU Builders has been the ADU company of the Kingswell family, building accessory dwelling units, garage conversions, and home additions under one promise: Room to grow, right on your lot. We’re not a flash-in-the-pan startup chasing the latest housing trend. ADU demand is structural, not seasonal. Cities keep relaxing lot restrictions, homeowners keep aging in place, and adult children keep moving back home. Lodgewick de-risks ownership with proven systems, protected territories, and the Kingswell Guarantee that gives homeowners the confidence to sign. If you’re looking for a business with real local roots and a brand that already answers the phone, this is it.

Why This Opportunity

A Proven Brand in a Growing Market

We’ve been at this since 2010. That’s fifteen years of navigating permit offices, managing site crews, and learning which prefab units actually perform in the field. Our name carries weight because we put it in writing on every job. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan on a truck, it’s a signed document. When a homeowner calls Lodgewick, they know a live person will answer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That reliability converts leads at a higher rate than competitors who route calls to voicemail loops.

Recurring Local Demand You Can Count On

ADUs solve problems that don’t go away. A homeowner needs rental income to cover the mortgage. A family needs space for an aging parent without the cost of assisted living. A property owner wants to maximize lot value before selling. These situations happen in every market we serve, and they tend to cluster in specific neighborhoods where lot sizes and zoning align. Our franchisees learn to read those patterns and market directly to them. The work isn’t one-and-done, either. A garage conversion today often leads to a main-house addition referral tomorrow.

Marketing and Lead Engine Built In

You don’t start from zero. Lodgewick provides the brand assets, the call-answering infrastructure, and the digital lead generation systems that have been refined across the Kingswell family of companies. The phone number rings to a live person, not a chatbot. That human touch is a competitive advantage in an industry where homeowners have been burned by ghosting contractors. We also teach you how to price transparently, which sounds counterintuitive until you see how many competitors lose jobs at the kitchen table over hidden fees. Our franchisees give the price range in dollars, upfront, every time.

Training and Support That Respects Your Investment

We don’t hand you a binder and wish you luck. Training covers estimating, permitting, crew management, and the specific quirks of prefab ADU brands like Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie. You’ll know which unit fits a narrow Los Angeles lot, which performs in wet climates, and which delivers fastest when a homeowner has a hard move-in deadline. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up on every job site. That’s not just safety, it’s branding. Homeowners remember who was on their property.

Limited Territories Available

Each Lodgewick territory is protected. One owner per market, period. We’re not saturating regions and pitting franchisees against each other. A limited number of territories remain in each state, and once your market is spoken for, we close it. If you’ve been researching franchise opportunities and waiting for the right moment, this is the part where waiting costs you the zip codes you already know. Call or request information now to check availability in your area.

What You Get as a Lodgewick Owner

The Kingswell Guarantee on Every Build

Every job operates under the same five rules we call The Kingswell Way: Say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. Put the guarantee in writing. Come back if it fails. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right, we make it right. That commitment is in writing on every project, delivered before any crew sets foot on the lot. Homeowners sign it. You sign it. There’s no ambiguity about who stands behind what.

No-Hassle Upfront Pricing

We give the written price before any work starts, always, on every project, no exceptions. No price changes at the door, no “we found something unexpected” surprises that torpedo trust. This is how you build a referral business. A homeowner who knows exactly what they’ll pay tells their neighbor. That neighbor calls you next.

Background-Checked, Uniformed Technicians

Your crews wear the Lodgewick uniform and pass background checks. Homeowners know who’s on their property, and they know the person answering their questions represents a real company with real standards. In an industry where fly-by-night operators are common, this visible professionalism closes jobs.

24/7 Live Call Answering

Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not voicemail. Not a chatbot. A real human who can schedule an estimate, answer a question about an active build, or reassure a nervous homeowner that their project is on track. You don’t have to be the one answering at midnight. Our system handles it, and you get the lead.

Established Supplier Relationships

We’ve done the vetting. Lodgewick works with leading ADU brands and materials suppliers: Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, Plant Prefab, Tuff Shed, and James Hardie. Each has different strengths. Some excel at speed. Some at customization. Some at price point. You’ll learn to match the right product to each homeowner’s lot, budget, and timeline. That expertise is hard to replicate from scratch.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need to be a general contractor, though trade experience helps. You do need to be someone who answers the phone, shows up when you said you would, and fixes it when it’s wrong. The Kingswell Way sounds simple because it is. The hard part is doing it every single time, especially when permits drag out or a supplier misses a delivery window.

We’re looking for owners who want to build something local. Each Lodgewick location is independently owned and operated. We’re not a corporate chain pretending to be from your town. You’re the face of the business in your market. You hire your crews. You build the relationships with city planners and inspectors. You earn the reputation that keeps the phone ringing.

The Name Behind the Brand

A lodge is a small house on a larger property. That’s exactly what an ADU is. The name Lodgewick reminds homeowners what they’re getting: a complete, self-contained dwelling that happens to sit in their backyard or above their garage. It’s approachable. It’s specific. It doesn’t try to be everything to everyone.
