Our kitchen update we got is beyond what we dreamed possible on our budget. Golden crew maximized every inch of space while creating a warm, inviting atmosphere with the new quartz counters and soft-close drawers. Even the plumbing and electrical upgrades were done seamlessly. The entire process was smooth, and their designer helped us pick finishes that we’ll love for years to come.
I completed a whole house remodel that included flooring, two bathrooms, the kitchen and some structural updates. Naturally, we expected delays and miscommunication at some point, but the experience was smoother than we anticipated. The scheduling stayed fairly consistent and whenever there was an adjustment they explained it clearly instead of leaving us guessing. The finished work feels cohesive from room to room and several visitors have commented on how natural the transitions look throughout the home.

We chose Golden Shore Design and Build to do our master bathroom renovation after meeting with and getting quotes from five different contractors. We decided to go with them based on reviews of their previous work, the thorough and realistic explanation of how the work would be done, and also because their estimate for the work was actually lower than the others. We were dealing directly with the company owner, Alex, in getting the estimate and finalizing the contract details.
Alex provided a complimentary design concept rendering at the start and made good suggestions for the choice of materials and fixtures. It was a complete bathroom remodel (floor, walls, all fixtures, additional lighting, etc.). The work crew were polite and efficient. As with any home renovation there will be dust, however the guys were diligent in minimizing this as much as possible. Everything was done in just over two weeks, including the necessary city inspections (Alex took care of arranging those).
The bathroom came out looking beautiful, the tile work on the floor and in the tub area is gorgeous. Thankfully, no major issues cropped up when the floor and walls were opened up, and the guys devised a great solution to make the vanity fit perfectly in the slightly larger area (the original vanity was custom built during our condo's construction in 1988). Alex oversaw the progress of work with frequent job site visits and a final inspection. So, a positive experience and we now have a beautiful master bathroom. Would work with them again if another project comes up.

The cost to build a 2 bedroom ADU in San Diego typically ranges from $150,000 to $250,000, depending on factors like design complexity, site conditions, and material choices. A detached 2 bedroom unit generally costs more than a conversion due to new foundation and utility runs. Permits, impact fees, and utility hookups in San Diego can add $15,000 to $30,000. For a precise estimate, it is wise to consult a local professional. Golden Shore Design and Build can help you navigate these variables. You can find more detailed guidance in our article FAQ Golden Shore Design & Build — San Diego, which covers specific cost breakdowns for San Diego projects.
The $40,000 grant in California for ADUs is part of the state's CalHFA ADU Grant program. This program provides eligible homeowners with up to $40,000 to assist with pre-development costs for building an accessory dwelling unit on their property. Funds can be used for expenses like architectural designs, permits, soil tests, and impact fees. This grant does not have to be repaid, but it is limited to one per property and is intended to help offset upfront costs before construction financing begins. For homeowners in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa, and Spring Valley, understanding local zoning and permit requirements is essential. Golden Shore Design and Build can guide you through the process of applying for this grant and ensuring your ADU project meets all necessary standards.
An addition involves expanding the main living area of your home, such as adding a bedroom or family room, which is directly connected to the existing structure and requires a full building permit. A JADU, or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a smaller, self-contained unit within your existing home, typically under 500 square feet, with its own kitchen and bathroom. The key difference lies in scope and regulations: additions increase your home’s footprint, while JADUs repurpose existing space, often with simpler permitting. For a detailed breakdown on this topic, please refer to our internal article Room Addition / ADU (JADU). At Golden Shore Design and Build, we can guide you through both options to match your needs in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa and Spring Valley CA.
