Transforming a Coastal Gem: ARES Pacific Beach Remodel

Writer's picture: ARESARES

Imagine purchasing a home with the dream of enjoying breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, only to find it's in desperate need of a makeover. That was the reality for one of our clients, who came across a property that, while perfectly positioned across from beach access, was severely outdated and had been vacant for over a decade. Even worse, it had an unwelcome tenant—a raccoon in the attic. Enter ARES, your expert in transforming living spaces into dream homes.

The Remodel Challenge:


The home's structure was solid, but everything inside was stuck in the past. With a renovation loan through a mortgage company, our client and ARES had to navigate through budget constraints, compliance with local building codes, and the procedural intricacies of loan requirements. The goal was clear: revitalize this property while keeping the stunning ocean views as the centerpiece of the home.


The Remodel Transformation:


  • Kitchen and Living Space Reinvention: We started by enclosing the rear patio to significantly expand the kitchen, creating an open, airy space that flows seamlessly into the living room. Now, every gathering in this home is enhanced by expansive ocean views through a large new patio doorway. Insulation was updated to meet current codes, ensuring comfort and efficiency.

  • Main Floor Reconfiguration: The layout was reimagined to include an additional bedroom and bathroom without losing the home's entertainment potential. The main floor now boasts two bedrooms, each with access to natural light and privacy, and two well-appointed bathrooms. The primary bedroom offers direct ocean vistas, a private bathroom, and a spacious closet.

  • Lower Level Overhaul: Previously plagued by issues like a non-functioning garage door, foundation problems, and outdated utilities, the lower level was thoroughly updated. We installed a modern, quiet garage door, repaired the foundation to stop any sinking, and completely revamped the bathroom and utility areas. New plumbing systems, including a sump pump and sewage injection pump, were put in place to handle waste quietly and efficiently.
