Why this comes up in Rancho Santa Margarita

RSM is master planned, which shows in the housing. A great deal of it went up through the 1990s to similar plans, and those plans are generous with vertical volume and less generous with usable rooms. Vaulted ceilings over the living and family rooms are close to standard.

The other thing master planning brings is architectural review. Because loft conversions and interior structural work happen inside the existing envelope, they tend to involve fewer exterior questions than an addition that changes the roofline.

How it works

1. A real look at the space. Chris Doering comes out and evaluates the volume, the framing and where a stair can go. There is no charge and no obligation.
2. An accurate written quote. Not a range, not a phone guess. A number based on what is actually in your house.
3. Drawings, engineering and permits. We prepare the plans, submit them and carry them through plan check and inspection.
4. Build. One project at a time, with dates we hold and updates you do not have to chase.

Questions we get from Rancho Santa Margarita homeowners

Do you work on homes in RSM often?

Yes. Rancho Santa Margarita is well within the Orange County area where we offer everything we do, and vaulted 1990s plans are the kind of house we work on most.

Will the HOA be an obstacle?

That depends on your association and you should confirm with them. Work inside the existing envelope usually raises fewer exterior review questions than an addition that changes the roof or footprint.

How long will my house be a construction site?

Most lofts are two to three weeks of construction. Larger structural work runs longer. We give you dates and we hold them, and we tell you early if something moves.
