Clients describe careful planning, strong design, and support through complex remodels and additions.
“This was not a simple cosmetic project. It was a complex build with structural changes, multiple levels, and a lot of moving parts in a coastal zone.”
David Lee · Major remodel permit
“Rummy took our vision and refined it into something beautiful and cohesive. Her architectural design made the new space blend seamlessly with the rest of the house.”
Ben S. · Home addition design
“Rummy completed the floor plans for a few of my flips. The work she does is absolutely beautiful. I could not be happier with the design and use of space.”

Helping San Diego Homeowners Add Space Without Moving
If your home feels too small but you do not want to move, a second story addition may be the right next step. IL Total Design and Build helps San Diego homeowners plan, design, permit, and build second story additions that feel connected to the existing home.
We help with second floor additions, upstairs bedroom additions, primary suite additions, home office additions, family room additions, and larger structural home projects.
As a local second story addition contractor in San Diego, we handle the process under one roof, including planning, design, permit help, construction, and project coordination from start to finish.
We Handle Design, Permits, and Construction
A good second story addition should not feel like it was added later. It should match the home, improve the layout, and make daily life easier.
Build Up With Planning
We review your lot, existing foundation, rooflines, utilities, water connections, building codes, and city requirements before the project moves forward.
Space Without Losing Yard Area
If you want to add extra space without giving up yard area, building vertically may be the right decision.
