Why Banning Homeowners Trust Lodgewick ADU Builders

Lodgewick ADU Builders is the ADU company of the Kingswell family, established in 2010. The name says it: a lodge is a small house on a larger property, and that’s exactly what an addition or detached ADU is. We operate every Banning project under The Kingswell Guarantee. That means a written price before any work begins, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee delivered before a single nail is driven. If something isn’t right within 365 days of completion, we come back and make it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing on every project we do in Banning.

Russ Delmar leads our Banning-area builds, and he’s the one who walks lots off Hathaway Street or up in the hills near Sun Lakes before we ever quote a number. That’s the difference in how we work. Most contractors send a salesperson. We send the person who will actually be responsible for the build. When you call, a live person answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops. No chatbots.

We keep technicians background-checked and uniformed on every Banning job site, so you always know who’s on your property. Scheduling and dispatch for Banning run through our Inland Empire office in Riverside-San Bernardino, which lets us keep crews local and response times short.

Garage Addition Contractors in Banning

Garage Addition Contractors in Banning deal with a specific reality: many of the city’s older homes, especially those built from the 1950s through the 1980s near the I-10 corridor, have attached single-car garages that no longer fit modern vehicles, let alone a workshop or rental unit. Converting or expanding a garage into livable space usually runs $60,000 – $110,000 depending on whether you’re finishing an existing footprint or building new square footage. On acreage parcels, a detached garage addition with living space above it costs more, typically $140,000 – $220,000, because Banning’s wind-load requirements force structural upgrades that standard garage plans don’t include.

Garage Conversions and JADUs

A garage conversion attached to the main house can often be permitted as an ADU or JADU (junior accessory dwelling unit, which is a smaller unit inside the existing home footprint). In Banning, converting an existing attached garage into a JADU usually runs $50,000 – $90,000. The catch is that older Banning garages often have slabs that weren’t poured as living-space foundations, so we have to check vapor barrier, insulation, and electrical panel capacity before we can quote accurately.

Detached Garage Additions with Living Space

If you’re adding a detached garage with an apartment above it on a Banning acreage parcel, the wind engineering is the biggest variable. A standard plan set from a flatland city will fail plan check here. We specify rated connectors, shear walls, and roof tie-downs engineered for sustained 50+ mph gusts, and that adds real cost but prevents structural failure. Expect framing and engineering to run 15 – 20% higher than the same square footage in Beaumont or Calimesa.

Bathroom Addition Contractor in Banning

A Bathroom Addition Contractor in Banning is working with a housing stock that has a lot of one-bathroom homes from the 1950s and 1960s. Adding a second or third bathroom to one of these houses usually runs $35,000 – $65,000 for a full bath within the existing footprint, and $50,000 – $90,000 if you’re bumping out or adding to the second story. Banning’s winter cold matters here too: exterior plumbing for an added bathroom needs freeze protection that a Palm Springs contractor would never even think about, and that’s a real line item on the quote, usually $1,500 – $3,000 depending on the run.

Bathroom Additions Within the Existing Footprint

When we add a bathroom by converting a closet, hallway, or oversized laundry room in a Banning home, the cost driver is usually the aging supply lines and drainage stacks. Homes built before 1980 often have galvanized supply lines that have narrowed over decades, and tying new plumbing into them can create pressure problems throughout the house. We typically include a supply-line upgrade in the quote when the house is on galvanized, and we tell you that upfront, in writing, before you sign anything.

Second-Story Bathroom Additions

Adding a bathroom above an existing first floor in Banning means cutting into the roof, which in the Pass means resealing and weatherproofing against wind-driven rain that doesn’t fall the way it does in the lower desert. We specify peel-and-stick ice-and-water shield on roof penetrations, and we seal the building envelope before the finish work starts. The envelope work adds $2,000 – $4,000 to a typical second-story bathroom addition, and it’s the difference between a bathroom that stays dry and one that stains the ceiling below within a year.

Building on Acreage Around Banning: What Changes the Price

This is where most Banning projects get complicated, and it’s the part most contractors won’t explain until it’s too late. A large share of Banning’s buildable land sits outside city limits, on acreage parcels governed by Riverside County. If you’re on septic and a well, the county requires setbacks between any new structure and the leach field, the well head, and the property lines. Those setbacks often dictate where an addition or detached ADU can physically sit, and they can force a smaller footprint than you planned or a complete reposition on the lot.

We recently built a detached 600-square-foot ADU on a half-acre parcel off Hathaway Street where the homeowner wanted a future rental. Because the lot is on septic with a private well, we first hired a civil engineer to map the leach field and well setbacks, then positioned the unit to stay 10 feet clear of both. The San Gorgonio Pass wind load required 130-mph rated connectors and a shear-wall package that added roughly $8,000 in structural materials. Our crew also had to pour a 60-foot concrete driveway for equipment access because the existing dirt path couldn’t support a concrete truck. The final build passed inspection with zero corrections, and the owner now has a code-compliant ADU that’s legally rentable to non-age-qualified tenants.

Grading and drainage also shift the price on Banning acreage. An open lot collects runoff differently than a city lot, and adding a structure changes the flow. We scope grading, swales, and drainage before we quote, because doing it after framing starts is when change orders happen. The Kingswell Way means saying the price before the work, showing up in the window we gave you, leaving the lot cleaner than we found it, putting the guarantee in writing, and coming back if anything fails.

Trusted Brands We Service in Banning

Lodgewick works hands-on with leading prefab and panelized ADU systems, and for Banning we regularly specify three: Cover, Dvele, and Mighty Buildings. Cover’s panelized system ships fast and assembles quickly, which matters when you’re working around Banning’s wind windows. Dvele’s steel-framed modules handle wind loads well on exposed Pass parcels, and we’ve used them on acreage where conventional stick framing would have cost more in engineering. Mighty Buildings’ 3D-printed panels give you a tight building envelope, which directly cuts heating costs during Banning’s genuine winter nights at 2,350 feet. We know which system fits which lot, and we’ll tell you straight if a conventional build makes more sense for your parcel.

Common Home Addition Problems We See in Banning Homes

• Wind-load plan failures: Contractors pull standard Inland Empire plan sets and get bounced at plan check because Banning’s 50+ mph sustained winds require higher engineering than the same square footage in Beaumont or Calimesa. We engineer for the Pass from day one, and it’s in the quote.
• Sun Lakes HOA compliance: Skipping the HOA packet for a Sun Lakes Country Club project can result in an ADU that cannot legally be rented to non-age-qualified occupants. The entire financial case collapses before a permit is pulled. HOA review is step one, not step five.
• Septic and well setback surprises: On unincorporated acreage, placing an ADU 10 feet too close to a leach field or well head can void county permits and force relocation. We map setbacks with a civil engineer before quoting, so the price you see is the price you pay.
• Outdated electrical panels: Many 1950s-1980s Banning homes still have 100-amp panels that can’t handle a new addition’s load. A panel upgrade runs $3,500 – $6,000, and we identify it during the walkthrough, not halfway through the build.
