Andy is my go-to GC. He’s honest and kind and I would have him do all of my projects. It might help to know that I’m a residential designer. He’s the best!!

Expert Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Construction in Encinitas, CA
Accessory dwelling unit construction gives Encinitas homeowners a way to add livable space without leaving their property. At Cali General Construction LLC, we handle ADU builds across 92024 and the surrounding North County zip codes, including Oceanside, Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, Poway, San Marcos, and Vista. We work on detached new construction, garage conversions, and attached additions, depending on what your lot and goals allow. Encinitas sits largely within the California Coastal Zone, which means some parcels west of I-5 require a Coastal Development Permit alongside the standard building permit. We account for that early in the planning process so nothing catches you off guard later. Whether you want a private unit for a family member or a long-term rental, we build to code and treat your property with care. Our owner started this business from the ground up with a hands-on approach to construction, and that same focus carries into every ADU project we take on. Call us to talk through what your lot can support.
