Why Elevations

Built by people who answer their own phone.

Elevations Design Build is a coastal design‑build studio in the Cedros Design District, Solana Beach, backed by 25+ years of building experience. Architecture, interior design, permitting, and construction live in the same office — one team, one process, end to end, working with partnered licensed architects.

A

One accountable team

Designer, estimator, and builder work from the same drawings and the same budget.

B

Priced down to the details

Every cabinet, slab, tile, and fixture is selected and priced during design — so there are no surprises mid‑project, and the bid you sign is the bid you pay.

C

Craftsmanship that holds up

We build the parts you can't see — framing, waterproofing, mechanicals — to the same standard as the finishes.

What we do

Full‑service remodeling, under one roof.

From a single room to a whole‑home transformation, we own every step — design, permitting, and construction.

01

Whole‑home remodels

Structure, finishes, and flow rethought as one project — drawn and built under one roof.

02

Kitchen remodels

Custom cabinetry, hand‑picked stone, and a layout tuned to the way you actually cook.

03

Bathroom remodels

Primary suites and spa‑style conversions, detailed to the same standard as the finishes.

04

Coastal ADU permits in 60 days under AB 462 — design, permitting, and build, one team.

05

Home additions

Primary‑suite, second‑story, and garage conversions that read as original to the house.

Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and pool decks designed for coastal exposure.

How it works

A clear path, start to finish.

Design‑build means no finger‑pointing between an architect and a contractor. You deal with us, and the drawings match the budget from day one.

01

Consultation

We walk your home, listen to how you live, and talk honestly about scope and budget before anyone draws a line.

02

Design & estimate

Plans, 3D views, and a fixed, itemized estimate — materials and allowances spelled out, no surprises.

03

Build

One crew, a protected worksite, and weekly updates. You always know what's happening this week and next.

04

Walk‑through

We finish the punch list together, hand over warranties and care notes, and stay reachable long after.
