Twenty years managing residential projects in San Diego County. I answer my own phone, manage every trade, and deliver finished homes on budget — personally.
Every metric comes from hands-on project management — not an office, not a dashboard.
Services
Full-scope residential construction in San Diego County — managed personally, delivered on schedule, built to last.
Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home refreshes. Complete gut-and-rebuilds or targeted upgrades — on budget, on time.
Structural remodels that maximize space, flow, and value. I read the plans, manage the trades, own the result.
Room additions, second stories, ADUs. Permitted, inspected, built to last the first time.
Ground-up residential construction. Your vision, fully realized — managed by the owner, not a crew you've never met.
About the Builder
Most contractors grow and step back. I built my operation to stay on site. After hundreds of projects across San Diego County, I still answer my phone and show up every day—because that's how the work actually gets done right.
I've managed kitchens, full remodels, second stories, ADUs, and ground-up custom homes. I know where things go wrong and how to keep them from getting there. Your builder is reachable every business day.
That's not marketing language. That's how I operate.
Why Different
Most GCs manage from an office and pass your project to subcontractors you've never met. You end up project-managing your own contractor.
Not a coordinator, not a foreman. Me—every question, every status, every day of the build.
I don't send a crew and check in weekly. I'm on site daily managing every trade, catching problems before they cost you money.
Line-by-line timeline and cost—before we start. No surprise change orders from vague initial estimates.
Process
Three phases. You're reachable throughout. No surprises.
We meet, walk the space, and talk through your vision. I ask the questions other contractors skip—so nothing surprises us mid-build.
Transparent scope, timeline, and budget—line-by-line. No hidden costs, no vague estimates, no surprises after you sign.
I manage every trade, every day, until handover. You get daily updates and a builder who actually picks up the phone.
Client Words
"Steve managed our entire kitchen and master suite addition. I never had to chase a subcontractor once. He was on site every day. The quality speaks for itself."
"We hired three GCs over ten years for various projects. Steve is in a different category. He understands the plans, manages the trades, and stands behind his work."
"Steve delivered a seamless whole-home remodel on schedule and on budget. Best builder we've worked with. Highly recommend."
