San Diego Area Contractor Recommendation

16 years ago

Hi,

We remodeled our kitchen two years ago with lots of help from this forum. I love all of GW's forums. The people here are full of advice and knowledge.

My sister out in the northern area of San Diego is trying to find a good and reasonable contractor to remodel her bathrooms and her kitchen at a later date. A current quote to remodel 2 small bathrooms is $64k! Not too much structurally, some plumbing, but $64k????

Hoping someone here can send me a name or two of someone they used and were very happy with and can continuously recommend to others because of the quality of work, prices and work ethic.

You can email me with information at

accttemp24"at"yahoo"dot"com.

Thank you for your help.

I'm remodeling a kitchen and 2 baths as well, in the same area, and I'm having trouble as well.

I'll let you know if I find one.

May I recommend to you both, J Richards Construction. Josh did our family room addition, our kitchen remodeling (from gut to finish, but he wasn't our KD), and also did some small jobs for us. He was GREAT to work with, did wonderful work, had some good workers (and one not-so-great one whom is now GONE). He has a good work ethic, and will come up with a fair contract for you. Tell him I sent you - his number is 1-760-801-9606.

We used California Pools out of the OC office. We were satisfied with the entire process. Our job supervisor was great and was always quick to return phone calls or stop by if we had questions. They were not the least expensive of the bids we received, but we were impressed with their longevity in the industry, and the customer service they provided. Are you in Carlsbad? My mom lives there.

Kaysd, sorry to go off topic. But, I was just on the Home Decorationing conversation side. One of our dedicated members, trailrunner needs help in finding a place to stay. Long complicated story. She was on an extreme bike ride and was blogging her trip on GW. Had to cut the trip short as her son needs rehab. Not sure why they are in San Diego. Trailrunner has a thread asking for help in the San Diego area. When I popped over to Kitchens I couldn't believe the first post was from San Diego. They really could use some local guidance.

Thank you for the information. I have forwarded the name and number to my sister. Any add'l info you can share like good kitchen/bathroom designers or showrooms?

Again, thank you.

There were several good showrooms, but due to our (small) budget, we ended up at Poway's Home Depot (up on Scripps Poway Parkway). One of the KD's there, Maddie, was a blessing! She was another one that was good to work with, and is fully certified. She's not pushy. The only thing about Home Depot is that you have to pay them $100 to come out and fully measure your kitchen. But if you do end up buying cabinets from them, they refund the $100. Maddie did our kitchen design last June but we just missed catching her last weekend, when we buzzed through HD, so I know she's still there. Maddie will let you know if the brand of cabinets you've chosen are coming up on sale, or if there are any other specials coming up (like a free sink or something).

Good luck to both of you! With the fires, a lot of contractors are really busy, so it's best to start planning NOW.
