About Lodgewick ADU Dallas

How Lodgewick ADU Dallas Was Born in Dallas

When we opened our Dallas branch, the ADU conversation here was already changing fast. Homeowners across Dallas were realizing their lots had room for a second dwelling, but the process felt like a maze. Permits, setbacks, utility connections, design choices. People would call around and get three different answers from three different companies. Some contractors never called back. Others gave a rough number over the phone that ballooned once the project started. Homeowners in Richardson and Garland were telling us the same thing: they wanted someone who would say the price before the work, show up when they said they would, and stand behind the build.

That was the moment we knew Dallas needed what Lodgewick ADU Builders had been doing for years. Not a new idea, but a new standard. We built our Dallas team around the Kingswell Way: a written price before any work starts, a real arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every build. Room to grow, right on your lot. That is the whole mission, and it is why this branch exists.

Russ Delmar’s Personal Connection to the ADU Trade

Russ Delmar came up in construction the old way. He started as a laborer, hauling material and digging footings in the Texas heat before most of Dallas was awake. The first time he framed a wall, he remembers the smell of fresh lumber in the morning, the snap of a chalk line, the satisfaction of seeing a straight line where there had been nothing. But what stayed with him was not the framing itself. It was seeing a family walk through a finished space for the first time. A mother-in-law suite in Grand Prairie. A guest house in Heath. A detached office behind a home in Plano. Every one of them was someone saying, I need more room, and this lot can give it to me.

Russ spent years on job sites where the work was good but the promises were loose. Prices changed at the door. Arrival windows came and went. Cleanup was an afterthought. He knew there was a better way to run a company, and when he took the lead at Lodgewick ADU Dallas, he brought that conviction with him. What gets him out of bed is simple: a homeowner should never have to wonder what the job will cost, when the crew will show up, or whether the work will hold up. If he were not doing this, he would still be building something with his hands. This is not a job to him. It is how he thinks a business should be run.

Meet Russ Delmar – The Person Behind Every Job

Russ Delmar is the Owner and Founder of Lodgewick ADU Dallas. He leads every project personally, from the first walkthrough to the final inspection. His background is in residential construction, with hands-on experience in framing, foundation work, and accessory dwelling construction across the Dallas metro. He is trained in the Kingswell Way, which means every job follows the same four promises: a written price before work starts, a real arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee. That guarantee comes from Lodgewick ADU Builders and goes by the name The Kingswell Guarantee.

What sets Russ apart from a corporate franchise technician is that he is the one accountable. He is not a rotating crew lead assigned from another state. He lives in the Dallas area, knows the local building departments, and stands behind the work himself. Off the job site, he is a builder in every sense. He likes working with his hands, fixing things around his own property, and teaching younger tradespeople the right way to do a job. His commitment to every customer is straightforward: if something is not right, he wants to hear about it, and he will make it right.

Our Promise to Dallas Homeowners

Every Kingswell company works to the same four promises, and Lodgewick ADU Dallas is no exception. First, a written price before any work starts. You will never hear a number and then watch it change once the project is underway. Second, a real arrival window. We tell you when we will be there, and we show up in that window. Third, a clean job site. We leave the place cleaner than we found it, full stop. Fourth, a written guarantee on the work. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. Those are not slogans. They are the operating rules we build by.

Our Credentials

Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We carry insured and bonded status on all projects, and every build follows local permit requirements in Dallas and the surrounding cities. Our experience is measured in years of local work across the metro, from Cedar Hill to Murphy, from Duncanville to Balch Springs.

Why does that matter to a homeowner hiring someone to work on their property? Because an ADU is not a small project. It is a structure with a foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and a roof. It has to meet code, pass inspection, and stand for decades. A written guarantee means the company is willing to put its reputation on paper. A licensed and insured crew means you are protected if something goes sideways. These are not extras. They are the floor for any company you let build on your land.

Rooted in Dallas

We work across Dallas, Plano, Garland, Richardson, Grand Prairie, Heath, Rowlett, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Balch Springs, Murphy, and Addison. We know the clay soil that shifts under Dallas foundations, the storm patterns that shape drainage requirements, and the local permit offices where plans get approved. We belong to this community, and we build here because we live here.
