Can Anyone Recommend Contractors In San Diego

Question

Can anyone recommend any contractors in San Diego (especially keen on North Park, South Park, Normal Heights)? Keen on good rates, professional attitude, quality work and quick turnaround time.

Bruce May · Answer

I've got a good referral for you guys. Does almost everything. Used him on several of my past flips. PM me if you want his info.

Brandon Medina · Answer

If you need any major electrical work (like panel upgrades) let me know.  PM for my contact info

Rami W. · Answer

Instead of starting a new thread for the same thing, i'll bump this one up! I know it's hard to share your good secret contractors, but I am sure they will appreciate the referral and maybe give you better deals in the future!

Looking for a good general or sub (licensed) to do two new roofs, concrete wall+fence, and a replacement front porch.

PM me if needed.

Thank you!

I trust Broaddus Construction but I would not rate them great at each of you criteria:

- Good rates: B+

- Professional Attitude: B

- Quality work: B+ (Most things A but a few things C)

- Quick turnaround: D+ (typically it is him and one helper doing the work and he prefers to not work long days)

My own criteria: Trustworthy: A+.

I have used him quite a bit in both my rentals and my own home.  He does great tiling but price is a little higher than others specializing in tiling and he is much slower.  He has built a patio structure (great work), installed diving board (great work), turned 2 half bathrooms into full bathrooms (great work), framed to have sliders where there were windows previously (good framing, mediocre finishing), fixed window contractor's poor finishing job (great work), 3 complete bathroom remodels including installing jacuzzi tub (great work), fixed car port structure (great work), extended a chimney great work), replace roof on a patio (great work), repairs from giant tree fall (good work).  He has done two complete unit rehabs (these were 2/1.5 each but converted to 2/1.75 each after the rehab: complete guts including in one of them much of the drywall) for me and they both took longer than I would have anticipated but good/great work.  I am sure I am missing many of the projects he has done for me.

If speed is a high criteria than I would likely look elsewhere.

I am always looking for a good GC, do about 25-30 flips a year in San Diego.  Looking for contractors that can stay on time and do not try and change order you to death.  $1000 a day is minimum rate we are looking for, so $45,000 renovation should take 45 days or less.

Please PM any referrals.

@Aaron Cullen Nope. But I'm going to reach out to Bruce May

Jeremy Near · Answer

I am a general contractor (licensed for 15 years, bonded, insured) in North County, I sub out almost everything and have some great subs for all trades. Just in case any of you are still looking. :)

PM me if interested.

Dan H. · Answer

By the way Broaddus Construction has virtually retired (he is a supervisor elsewhere and no longer does his own work).

He recommended someone who did good work and was trustworthy but he is now too busy to finish a job he started.  He did refund our money.

So I do not have a recommendation.

@William King @Rami W. I'm also looking for a contractor, did you get any good referrals that panned out? If so would you mind sharing? I have a 2/2 townhouse in Oceanside, Ca. that needs updating.
