Why Choose Herbs Construction
From First Call to Final Walkthrough
Initial Consultation and Site Visit
We meet at your property to walk through the project scope, take measurements, discuss your goals and budget, and identify any site-specific issues (access, utilities, structural concerns).
Design, Engineering, and Estimate
We develop plans (or work with your architect/designer if you already have plans), coordinate structural engineering if needed, and provide a detailed estimate that breaks out labor, materials, permits, and timeline.
Permitting and Pre-Construction
We pull all required permits, order materials with long lead times (cabinets, countertops, windows), and schedule the project start date.
Construction and Inspections
We execute the work in phases — demo, framing and structural, rough-in (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), insulation, drywall, finishes.
Final Walkthrough and Close-Out
After final inspection and city sign-off, we do a walkthrough with you to review the completed work, demonstrate any new systems or fixtures, and address any final details.

Common questions, honest answers.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in San Diego?
Yes, if you're doing any plumbing, electrical, or structural work. Moving a sink, adding a gas line, opening a wall, or relocating fixtures all require permits. Herbs Construction Co pulls those permits, submits plans to San Diego County Building & Safety, and coordinates inspections at rough-in and final. Permit review typically takes 2–3 weeks if plans are complete.
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen remodels take 4–8 weeks from permit approval to final inspection. That includes demo, any structural changes, rough-in for plumbing and electrical, drywall, cabinet install, countertop template and fabrication, tile backsplash, and flooring. Custom cabinets can add 4–6 weeks to the timeline, and permit review adds another 2–3 weeks at the start.
Can I build an ADU on my property in San Diego?
Most single-family lots in San Diego can have an ADU under California law (Government Code §65852.2). Detached ADUs can be up to 1,200 square feet, and setbacks are typically 4 feet from side and rear property lines. You'll need a building permit, and the city reviews for zoning compliance, structural engineering, and utility capacity. Permit review takes 4–8 weeks for most ADU projects. Herbs Construction Co handles the full process from design to final Certificate of Occupancy.
What's the difference between an ADU and a JADU?
A JADU (Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit) is smaller — up to 500 square feet — and must be within the existing home or attached garage. It shares utilities with the main house, which makes permitting faster and construction cheaper. A regular ADU can be detached, up to 1,200 square feet, and usually has separate utilities. JADUs are good for adding a small studio or in-law suite without a full ground-up build.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Herbs Construction Co pulls all required permits, submits plans to the city, and schedules inspections at each phase — foundation, framing, rough-in (plumbing, electrical, mechanical), insulation, and final. Herb is on site when the inspector comes, addresses any corrections they note, and gets the final sign-off so you have a Certificate of Occupancy or signed-off permit.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in San Diego?
It depends on size and finishes, but a typical full bathroom remodel (new tile, vanity, fixtures, plumbing and electrical rough-in) runs $20,000–$40,000. High-end finishes, larger spaces, or adding square footage will push that higher. We give a detailed estimate after the initial consultation so you know what you're paying for.
