(Capabilities)

Six ways
we change
a home.

(The model)

Two contracts. No three-bid shopping.

Most remodels start with three contractors pricing the same drawings against each other. We don't work that way.

Every Elevations project moves through two contracts. The Design Phase contract is paid up front. We produce architectural drawings, a complete interior selection package specified to the SKU, and a target construction budget you sign off on. The Construction Contract is built off that locked scope. The price you sign is the price you pay. Change orders happen when you change your mind, not because we missed a line.

It's the structure that lets us hold a standard. It's also the reason our projects don't drift in scope, budget, or schedule the way most remodels do.

(How we work)

One team, one standard.

Architecture, interior design, permitting, and construction handled under one roof, so every detail lands the same way it was drawn.

01 / 03

Integrated team

Architects, interior designers, project managers, and trades all answer to the same office. Decisions land in the room they were made in.

02 / 03

Specified before priced

Every cabinet, slab, and fixture is specified to the SKU during design. Construction is bid off a locked scope, not a sketch.

03 / 03

Hands-on principal

Our principal stays on every project, from the first phone consultation to the final walkthrough. Not a sales engineer, not a project manager you've never met.

(Common questions)

Before you call.

  • How does Elevations price a project?

    We price a project in two contracts. The Design Phase contract is signed first and covers architecture, interior design, permitting strategy, and a target construction budget. The Construction Contract is signed second, built off the fully specified design. Most contractors give you one price against a sketch. We give you one price against a locked specification.

  • Do you take on small projects?

    We focus on whole-home remodels, additions, ADUs, and outdoor living. Single rooms and standalone bathrooms ride along inside larger scopes. We don't take new construction for outside clients, and we don't do pool work.

  • How long do projects take?

    Kitchens run 10 to 16 weeks. Whole-home remodels run 9 to 14 months including design. Additions and ADUs typically run 8 to 14 months, with the coastal-zone permit window inside 60 days under AB 462.

  • Where do you work?

    Solana Beach, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Encinitas, Cardiff, and Carlsbad. Coastal North County only.
