Remodeling in Bonsall, CA.

Bonsall is one of San Diego County's quietest communities, small enough that most people pass through it on Pala Road without stopping. The residential areas along the Old River Road corridor, Sleeping Indian Road, and West Lilac Road are spread out and rural, with homes built on large parcels over several decades. Gird Valley and the San Luis Rey River corridor have some of the nicer properties in the area, including a few larger custom homes that are due for a real renovation. The Pala Road area and Cole Grade Road stretch have older ranch homes that owners sometimes assume are not worth updating. Most of the time, they are. David Sanchez and The Rock Remodels (CA Lic. 1042918) work in Bonsall. Rural conditions and long driveways are not a barrier.

Bonsall is unincorporated San Diego County, so permits go through the county's Department of Planning and Development Services. The county process takes more time than most city jurisdictions, and the submittal requirements for additions and structural work are specific. We manage the county permit process for every project. Homes in Bonsall tend to be custom or semi-custom, built across a wide range of decades, which means each one is a little different. The 1970s and 80s builds often have dated kitchens with original cabinetry, laminate counters, and layouts that were never particularly well-planned. Bathrooms in these homes are usually large enough to work with, but tile and fixtures from 30 to 40 years ago are well past their cosmetic useful life. Lot sizes in Bonsall are almost always large enough to support a room addition, a garage conversion, or both. The rural character and low density mean setback constraints are rarely an obstacle. For owners wanting a detached guest unit or second dwelling, ADUz handles the county design and permit work and David builds it.
