Recent homes.

Seven homes a year. Each one designed slowly, built carefully, and checked back on after the keys turn.

Accessory dwellings

Small homes, out back.

Three working models, to scale. Change the roof and the time of day. It's the starting point of a real conversation about your lot.

How we work

One team, from first sketch to last nail.

Step one
01

Design.

We sit with the home and the people in it, then draw. A few big moves, slowly. Plans, structural, and permits in-house.

Step two
02

Build.

One team carries the project from framing through MEP and finishes. No new faces showing up halfway through to figure out what the last crew left.

Step three
03

Tend.

Two-year warranty. Ten-year follow-up. We come back, because homes change, settle, and need people around them.

Frequently asked

What people ask before we start.

What does Apex Works do?

Apex Works is a Southern California design and build firm. We do whole-home remodels, additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and ADUs across San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. Architecture, permits, electrical, and plumbing all happen in-house, with one team you actually know by name.

Where in California does Apex Works build?

We work throughout Southern California. San Diego County, Orange County, and Los Angeles County. Recent projects include La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Clairemont, Encinitas, North Park, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Mission Hills, Solana Beach, Costa Mesa, and Manhattan Beach.

How long does a typical project take?

Kitchens run 8–12 weeks. Primary baths run 5–8 weeks. Detached ADUs run 6–10 months. Whole-home remodels run 8–14 months. Rear additions run 8–12 months. Timelines depend on the scope and the local jurisdiction's permitting timeline.

Do you build ADUs in California?

Yes. We design and build detached ADUs up to 1,200 square feet and junior ADUs (JADUs) up to 500 square feet. We handle California ADU code compliance, setbacks, parking exemptions, and utility connections in-house.

Is Apex Works a licensed contractor?

Yes. CSLB #1144953, fully insured. Because architecture, electrical, and plumbing all live under one license, you aren't coordinating three different companies who never met.

What is the warranty?

Two-year workmanship warranty on all construction, plus a ten-year follow-up check-in to inspect settling, finishes, and systems.

How do I start a project?
