Potrero: Potrero is a high-chaparral ranching community near the Tecate border at around 2,200 feet, with warm dry summers and cool winters. Most homes are on large rural parcels and run on private well and septic, and the housing ranges from older ranch-style wood-frame homes to manufactured housing, many of which have not seen significant updates in a long time.

Why is home additions different in Backcountry San Diego?

Additions in Ramona, Julian, and the mountain communities involve logistics that do not apply in more urban parts of the county, from material delivery over single-lane roads to the absence of nearby subcontractor labor pools. Fire-hardening requirements in high fire hazard severity zones apply to new construction on these properties, which affects roofing, soffits, vents, and window glazing on any new addition. David is direct about what rural construction actually adds to a project timeline and budget, and every scope reflects those realities honestly.
