Southshore Homes are true professionals. The owner, Kyle, was always on time for meetings and easy to communicate with — it was the best experience I've had with any SoCal GC. Any issues that arose during the build were handled quickly and brought to complete resolution. With such a positive experience, I'm comfortable referring Southshore Homes to my neighbors and friends.

Thank you for the review Bobby! Let us know if there's anything we can do for you in the future sir.

Manager5/5Jul 14, 2025

Just finished an ADU project with Kyle at Southshore Homes. I have already signed on to doing two more with him which speaks to how great I thought the process was. Underpromised and overdelivered for sure. The quality of the build surpassed my expectations in all honesty. Great responsiveness, timeliness, and integrity.

Very easy to work with. Fantastic workmanship!

Thank you Eric! Great working with you as well.

Kyle and the entire team helped make our dream come true !!
Converting a garage into a beautiful living space and then adding a bathroom, laundry room, and walk in closet. We now have our “Wee Cozy Cottage” to enjoy our retirement years near our family and grandchildren.
Thank you Kyle, Southshore, and your team. We would highly recommend you to anyone considering a similar project!

Shawna5/5Sep 9, 2024

Southshore has been really great to work with. We've done multiple projects with this team, 5 stars!

Tasha5/5May 15, 2024

This company built me a wonderful ADU to rent out. Construction was finished in the estimated timeframe and I'm very happy with the quality of our unit. Highly recommend this company!

The G. J. Gardner team did an excellent job for me in building a custom home. I was able to significantly modify their home plan and customize it for myself. The house is excellent quality and the best materials. I was able to upgrade almost everything to make it truly custom.

Julie5/5Dec 2, 2022

Kyle and the team built my family a beautiful home. We can't say enough how happy we are! They knocked it out of the park and communicated with us throughout the entire process. Our cabinet drawers were upgraded for free as a surprise and warranty requests have been answered and scheduled within a day or two. Highly recommended!

Brian5/5Oct 27, 2022

GJ Gardner Holmes was a qualified professional staff showed up on time and very responsive to any questions I’ve had They also took great care to see that we were satisfied before completion was done. I would definitely use them again.

Bobbie5/5Oct 8, 2022

GJ Gardner built a 2 bedroom ADU for my family in San Diego and it turned out so good! Our ADU took 3.5 months to build and they kept our backyard very clean. I highly recommend them to anyone considering an ADU!
