Casitas and Granny Flats in San Diego
As a dedicated casita builder and granny flat builder, Elevated Remodeling specializes in creating self-contained dwelling units on residential properties. A casita — sometimes referred to as a "tiny home" — is an unattached unit on the same property as the main residence. These units are ideal for accommodating family members or generating rental income.
Their team manages the entire casita construction process, including utility hookups (water, power, and sewer), city permits, and any additional outdoor features such as patios, porches, or outdoor kitchens. Every casita is customized to the homeowner's specific needs and designed to complement the existing property.
The design and planning phase for an ADU or casita typically takes around 3 months, with construction taking an additional 6 to 12 months depending on the scope of the project.
Elevated Remodeling has been serving San Diego since 2007, bringing expertise, attention to detail, and a client-first approach to every project. Their team of professionals — including architects, designers, and skilled tradespeople — ensures that each ADU or casita is built to the highest standards, on time and within budget.
