Every metric above comes from 20 years of on-site management — not an office, not a dashboard.

Services

What I build

Full-scope residential construction in San Diego County — managed personally, delivered on schedule, built to last.

Renovations

Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations. Complete gut-and-rebuilds or targeted upgrades — on budget, on time.

Remodels

Structural remodels that maximize space, flow, and resale value. I read the plans, manage the trades, own the outcome.

Additions

Room additions, second stories, ADU construction. Permitted, inspected, built right the first time.

New Builds

Custom residential construction from the ground up. Your vision, fully realized — not handed to a crew you've never met.

About the Builder

20 years in. Still on site.

Most contractors grow their operation and step back. I built mine to stay on site. After 200+ projects across San Diego County, I still answer my own phone and show up every day — because that's how the work actually gets done right.

I started in residential construction before the word "flip" became a TV genre. I've managed kitchens, full gut-and-rebuilds, second stories, ADUs, and ground-up custom homes. I know where things go wrong and how to keep them from getting there.

Every client gets one point of contact — me — from the first walkthrough through final punch list. That's not marketing language. It's how I operate.

Let's Talk About Your Project

Built Different

Why one builder changes everything

Most GCs manage from an office. They pass your project to subs you've never met. You end up project-managing your own contractor.

One point of contact

I answer the phone. Not a coordinator, not a foreman. Me — every question, every update, every day of the build.

On site every day

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.

Transparent proposals

Line-by-line scope, timeline, and cost — before we start. No surprise change orders from vague initial estimates.


Process

How I work

Three phases. One point of contact. No surprises.

Discovery

We meet, walk the space, and talk through your vision. I ask the questions other contractors skip — so nothing surprises us mid-build.

Proposal

Transparent scope, timeline, and budget — line-by-line. No hidden costs, no vague estimates, no surprises after you sign.

Build

I manage every trade, every day, until handover. You get daily updates and a builder who picks up the phone.

Client Words

What clients say

"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."

Del Mar homeowner
