New Construction Company

Hello everyone,

I recently obtained my Residential remodeling contractors license and have started my construction company: Sweat Equity Construction. My company is Veteran owned and operated. I have acquired my experience from working on my personal live-in-flips and building ADUs, as an owner builder and self-performing most of the work. Through that process, I discovered my passion for construction, specifically finish work.

I wanted to continue house hacking and build more ADUs, but I have been priced out of the market. I can't make the numbers work with these rates and high prices. So I decided to hold off on purchasing more properties and focus on growing my construction company. I have been blessed to own a few properties with ADUs that have allowed me to quit my job early last year. 

As an investor, I understand there are remodeling budgets that must be met for remodeling, and labor costs can be high. All I want is an opportunity to master my craft and continue doing what I love, working on houses, in exchange for exceptionally fair prices. My company is veteran owned and operated.

I am interested in working with investors in the San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, Nipomo and Santa Maria areas, but open to outside areas in California.


I plan on getting my general contractors, as soon as I qualify to take the exam, to become an ADU builder. ADU is my niche in real estate and the laws are only going to get better for ADUs in the future.

Well done, David!

I’ve worked with David on a couple projects. He’s a good guy and works hard. I’m looking forward to working with him again!
