The housing stock
Post-war ranch houses on generous lots
Costa Mesa incorporated in 1953 and grew in the post-war boom around the old Santa Ana Army Air Base. The bones of the city are 1950s and 1960s ranch houses and tracts, many on the Westside and the Eastside still on their original floor plans.
Those houses tend to have small, closed kitchens and one or two small bathrooms, on lots with room to spare. That makes them good candidates for opening the kitchen to the living area, and for an ADU or a garage conversion in the back.

Permits and license
Who pulls the permit
- The city reviews it. A remodel in Costa Mesa that moves plumbing, electrical or a wall needs a building permit from the city. We say at the estimate if your job needs one, and we pull it.
- ADUs follow state rules. California law sets most of what an ADU or garage conversion can be, and the city reviews it through the building permit. We check setbacks, parking and utilities on your lot at the estimate.
- The license is ours to hold. New Horizon Repair Services holds California CSLB License #1151716, Class B General Building. You can look it up on the CSLB site before you sign anything, and you should.
- The scope is written before work starts. You get the estimate in writing, and work starts when you approve it.
