Rich Lawrence founded PacifiCoastal Design & Construction in October 2003 at 1343 Pacific Beach Dr, San Diego, CA 92109. Lawrence holds CSLB license #829428 under a B General Contractor classification and carries a BBB A+ rating with accreditation dating to December 2003. He brings more than 30 years of expertise and formal education in Architecture and Building Construction Technologies, personally overseeing every project from design through final walkthrough. Backyard remodels frequently involve both structural and landscape elements, and homeowners coordinating a new deck often schedule artificial turf through Turf & Sons San Diego on Hornblend St to complete the outdoor space in one project cycle. Before launching PacifiCoastal, Lawrence built luxury custom estates in the gated communities of Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. The firm is a certified TimberTech PRO installer, handling curved composite decking, pergolas, cabanas, front porches, balcony decks, and handrails. PacifiCoastal also constructs fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, built-in BBQ islands, and masonry hardscape — the outdoor living features that keep The Local Pacific Beach neighborhood homeowners entertaining year-round. The firm’s TimberTech PRO certification qualifies it for manufacturer-backed extended warranties on composite decking materials, and Lawrence’s architectural training shows in the load-calculated beam spans and cantilevered overhangs that define his patio cover builds. Projects range from Ipe hardwood pool decks and full outdoor kitchens with built-in DCS or Lynx grills to pergola-and-cabana combinations designed for year-round coastal entertaining.
