Approach
The care of a family shop, with the discipline of a much larger builder.
We keep the list short on purpose. A handful of things, done exceptionally well, with the same crew from first consult to final walkthrough.
How we build
An organized, communicative process from first consult to final walkthrough. Clear scope, clear schedule, and a budget you can hold us to. No surprises and no disappearing acts.
Who we are
A family run general contractor serving San Diego County. Licensed, bonded, and insured, and building homes across the county since 2009.
Services
From a single room to a second home.
02 /
Kitchen
The room the whole house revolves around.
Custom cabinetry, durable surfaces, and a layout built for real cooking and real gatherings. Made to last decades, not trend cycles.
03 /
Bathroom
A bath that still looks right years from now.
Waterproofing done properly behind the tile, fixtures that hold up, and finishes chosen to age well. The details you cannot see matter most.
04 /
Addition
More room, seamlessly joined to the home you love.
A new primary suite, a larger kitchen, or a second story. We match the existing structure and rooflines so it reads as original, never bolted on.
05 /
ADU
A second home in your backyard, by the book.
Permitted accessory dwelling units for rental income, family, or flexibility. We handle the city, the CSLB paperwork, and the build, start to finish.
Process
From first call to final walkthrough.
Five clear steps, with the same crew from start to finish. Here is what to expect at each one.
01
Consult
We meet at your home, walk the space, and talk through your goals and your budget. You get honest answers and a real sense of what is possible before you commit to anything.
02
Design
We turn the plan into drawings, selections, and a fixed scope. You know exactly what you are getting, and what it will cost, before the first day of work.
03
Permits
We pull the permits and handle the city and the inspectors for you. Your project is done by the book, and you are never the one chasing paperwork.
04
Build
One crew and one schedule, with steady communication and a job site we keep clean. You always know what is happening this week and what comes next.
05
Walkthrough
We walk every detail of the finished space together, room by room. We are not done until it is right and you are genuinely happy with the result.
FAQ
Questions homeowners ask.
Every project is different, so we give you a fixed scope and price before any work begins. As rough ranges in San Diego, bathroom remodels often start in the low five figures, kitchens in the mid five figures, and whole-home remodels, additions, and ADUs run into six figures depending on size and finishes. We walk your space and give you real numbers, not a guess.
A bathroom is usually a few weeks, a kitchen one to two months, and a whole-home remodel, addition, or ADU several months. We give you a schedule up front and keep you posted at every stage, with the same crew on your project from start to finish.
Most remodels, additions, and ADUs in San Diego County require permits. We pull them and deal with the city and inspectors for you, so the work is done by the book and you are not chasing paperwork.
