"Keep Leucadia Funky" is a common mantra we get.

There is a lot of remodeling going on in Leucadia.  Old flower fields, greenhouses, and large properties are being developed and subdivided to produce smaller town homes.  There is a growing back-lash against this trend. Smart growth has replaced the lot-filling craze of the 90's and early 2000's. 

We are here to bring our green remodeling experience to bear on this unique community.  Leucadia, a hamlet of Encinitas has a long history going back to it's early days as a spiritual retreat.  Building in Leucadia falls into the Encinitas planning commission, and their rules and regulations.  From Paul Ecke Central Scool, up to the Encinitas golf course, and from Encinitas Blvd. to La Costa Avenue, Leucadia's homes have a varied style of architecture. 

Closer to the coast, lie homes and condominiums which are exposed to the salt air from the ocean.  This unique environment plays havoc on the external workings of a home.  Salt air can destroy a home as quickly as mold or neglect.

Contact Joseph Hauser for a bid on your home remodel, room addition, kitchen expansion, or bathroom restoration in Del Mar.

Construction rules in Del Mar varies depending on whether the client is within San Diego County, or the city of Del Mar.  Del Mar, meaning 'of the sea' in Spanish conveys the feeling of this community, as it revolves around living by the ocean.  The lifestyle, and the homes within this community split between San Diego County, and the coast.

From custom homes with views of Torrey Pines State Reserve, to bathroom remodels on the Carmel Valley Mesa, SD Custom Construction Inc. is here to fulfill your custom remodel needs.

Space is limited in Del Mar these days.  Remodeling homes has become the norm, as no large developments are planned for the near term.  The future is small remodels, and home restoration.  There are many homes that lack that custom feel.  The modification of some key features can change the street appeal, or enhance the function of an existing home.  

We have been confronted with countless situations where we have turned an otherwise average cookie cutter house, into the functional home it was meant to be.

We are leading construction in Encinitas into the green movement.  From Moonlight Beach to Rancho Santa Fe, La Costa to Manchester; Hauser Houses builds quality homes.

We strive to separate trash, reduce waste in our building methods, limit site runoff, and reduce energy needs through green building techniques.

The days of track homes are done; we are out of space.  Remodels and custom construction is the future of Encinitas.  The future of building is Green, and the progressive mind-set of Encinitas sets the stage for some opportunities to experiment with new Green building techniques.

We have years of experience dealing with the Encinitas planning department. The unique growth needs of this coastal hamlet, combined with coastal commission requirements, makes development requirements a bit higher.  

To see some of Hauser Houses work in Encinitas, you need look no further than the iconic Concession Stand at Moonlight Beach where we completed a restaurant renovation in April, 2009 for the city of Encinitas.  The plumbing, electrical and stucco were all upgraded within budget.  A tiki and bamboo feel was weaved into the interior, to give a Hawaiian feel to the newly remodeled snack stand.  Hauser Houses hand-made the new counter tops, windows, and door treatments throughout the stand.  Working with local resin artist Finn Madsen, Hauser Houses was able to make the front counter have a surfboard resin top, that is easily refinished and very clean.  Underneath the resin sits historic photos of the city of Encinitas, specifically the earliest photos of Moonlight Beach.  

We are working on a green roof garden off Stratford Drive in Encinitas in 2009, which includes a roof top deck that doubles as a growing ground for plants.  This newly discovered green roofing technique reduces heating & cooling bills.  To see our some of our extensive deck building experience, check out Barrles & Branches Nursery, where Hauser Houses completed the top viewing deck at the nursery in mid 2008.
