"The purpose of this site is to maintain the integrity and footprint of Weir Bros Adobe Homes on the San Diego Landscape." - Weir Bros. Custom Homes

"Adobe Homes have begun to create a niche real estate market in Southern California. At their conception, they were considered to be an elegant, unique, housing type, perfectly suited for Southern California lifestyle and climate. However, with the introduction of new construction materials and techniques, adobe construction has come to a standstill.

This leaves a unique opportunity for Adobe homeowners everywhere! Adobe Homes (especially Weir Bros. Adobes) have become a highly coveted vintage housing style. " - Rob Weir
