Across San Diego County
Owner-led, fixed-bid
Rancho Santa Fe is unlike anywhere else in San Diego County, an ultra-affluent enclave of large estates and working ranches set on generous, oak-shaded lots, much of it inside The Covenant and governed by the Art Jury’s strict design review. Remodeling here means respecting Spanish Colonial and hacienda character, building to estate-grade standards, and working quietly behind the gates. We’ve served the county since 2014, and we bring the craftsmanship, permitting know-how, and discretion that Rancho Santa Fe homeowners expect on every project, from a single kitchen to a full estate renovation.
Luxury Remodeling Services in Rancho Santa Fe
We handle the full scope of high-end remodeling for Rancho Santa Fe estates, ranches, and Covenant properties, with one licensed team accountable from design through final walkthrough.
- Luxury kitchens: chef-grade ranges, custom millwork, and stone surfaces built for entertaining at estate scale.
- Spa baths & primary suites: walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and natural stone detailing.
- Additions & second stories: guest wings, home offices, gyms, and great-room expansions that match existing architecture.
- ADUs & guest houses: casitas, ranch quarters, and detached studios designed within Covenant and county rules.
- Whole-estate renovations: full-property remodels that modernize systems while preserving the home’s original character.
Remodeling Rancho Santa Fe Estates the Right Way
Building in Rancho Santa Fe, especially inside The Covenant, comes with expectations few contractors are equipped to meet. Most homes carry Spanish Colonial or hacienda character: clay tile roofs, hand-troweled stucco, wood-beamed ceilings, and courtyards that have to be honored, not erased.
We prepare and submit plans for Covenant Art Jury design review, coordinate with the Rancho Santa Fe Association, and pull permits through San Diego County so your project clears approval without surprises. On large estates and working ranches, we phase the work to protect grounds, equestrian areas, and daily life on the property. Just as important is discretion: we keep a clean, low-profile job site, manage subcontractors tightly, and respect the privacy that comes with living behind the gates.

Frequently asked questions
Do you handle Covenant Art Jury design review in Rancho Santa Fe?
Yes. For properties inside The Covenant, we prepare and submit plans for Art Jury design review and coordinate with the Rancho Santa Fe Association before construction. We design to fit the community’s Spanish Colonial and hacienda standards so your project earns approval, then pull county permits and manage inspections.
What types of remodeling do you do in Rancho Santa Fe?
We do luxury kitchens, spa-style baths and primary suites, home additions and second stories, ADUs, guest casitas, and whole-estate renovations. On large lots and working ranches we also handle multi-structure and phased projects, all built to estate-grade standards.
Can you build an ADU or guest house on an estate property?
Yes. We design and build detached ADUs, guest casitas, and ranch quarters that work within Covenant guidelines and San Diego County ADU rules. On Rancho Santa Fe’s large lots there’s usually room to place a guest house thoughtfully while protecting privacy and existing landscaping.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed California contractor, CA Lic #1004363, owned by Dave Romero and serving San Diego County since 2014. We carry insurance, work with licensed trades, and keep documentation in order, important on high-value Rancho Santa Fe estates.
What areas and neighborhoods of Rancho Santa Fe do you serve?
We serve all of Rancho Santa Fe, including The Covenant, Fairbanks Ranch, Cielo, Del Rayo, and the estate properties around Rancho Santa Fe Farms and the Bridges. We’re experienced with the large lots, custom architecture, and Covenant design guidelines that come with building in this community. Call (858) 267-4671 to discuss your estate or property.
How long does a whole-home remodel take in Rancho Santa Fe?
Estate-scale work in Rancho Santa Fe runs longer than a typical project: a high-end kitchen often takes 10 to 14 weeks, while whole-home renovations and additions on Covenant or Fairbanks Ranch properties commonly run several months or more. Larger lots, custom finishes, and design review can all extend the schedule, and we plan for that honestly from the start. You’ll always have a written timeline with your fixed-bid proposal.
How do I get started on a Rancho Santa Fe remodel?
Begin by calling (858) 267-4671 or requesting a consultation, and owner our team will personally visit your Rancho Santa Fe property to understand your vision and the scope involved. For Covenant and estate properties, we’ll discuss design guidelines and any approvals early so the process stays smooth. From there you’ll receive a detailed fixed-bid proposal, and we manage permitting and scheduling through completion.
