We had a simple porch and front window remodel, along with some minor repairs throughout the house, and updating the front fence. We're so extremely pleased with the extra attention to detail, as well as Mike's suggestions for little improvements along the way. These details seemed small, but made a huge impact on the overall project. His contractors were respectful and pleasant. He was always in communication with us. We HIGHLY recommend Select Builders. **★★★★★ — A/V Consulting, May 2016** > I've been fortunate enough to work with Mike from Select builders and his crew on quite a few projects over the years. On each and every one, the attention to detail is second to none. Mike makes every project go smoothly. He is on top of scheduling and communicating with everyone involved. At the end of the day, the projects always come out amazing. I can say, from experience, Select Builders is one of a very few construction firms in San Diego that operate with true integrity and honesty. You just don't find what Mike brings to the table with anyone else, and the work speaks for itself. **★★★★★ — annban2, April 2016** > We have just moved in to our completely remodeled condo and are thrilled with the work of Mike Mastrobattista and the fine craftsmanship of the subcontractors he chose for this job. > A project of this magnitude, duration and expense has the potential of being stressful and certainly problems are expected along the way. We can honestly say that with Select Builders as our contractor, the entire process was a pleasure and every aspect of it went smoothly, without a single stressful glitch. The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget. > > Beyond his obvious competence as a contractor, Mike is the nicest and most responsive contractor we’ve ever worked with, after several remodels at other properties. Working collaboratively with our designer, Mike was willing to make adjustments to the plans when quirks of plumbing in this old building were discovered and when we had minor changes of heart. > > We are detail-oriented, hands-on owners but Mike’s attention to detail on the project surpassed our own. He is honest, creative, and a true pleasure to work with. We were also impressed by the fact that subs on our job had all worked with Select Builders for years – a sign of a good boss and experienced craftsmen. The building manager and building engineer at our high-rise condo complex also have the highest praise for Select Builders. They have worked with many contractors over the years on remodels in our building and have said Mike is the best, most responsive, easy to work with and, most important, trouble-free for them. We wish there were six stars to give to Select Builders! **★★★★★ — Sunshine Coast Construction, Jan. 2016** > As the owner of Sunshine Coast Construction, a custom cabinet shop in San Diego, I've been able to work with Mike on some of his recent projects. These include full home remodels, kitchens & baths. As a contractor, Mike stands out as being knowledgeable, thorough and well organized, as well as being courteous and respectful. I also appreciate his focus on quality and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Select Builders. **★★★★★ — skcclark, Dec. 2014** > This project involved a bathroom remodel, replacement of a french door, and construction of a pergola. SB's owner and and job supervisor gave us excellent planning and design advice, provided a clear explanation of possible issues, and delivered an excellent product at the contract price. SB's on-site staff were always timely, courteous, and professional in their dealings with us. When we identified a problem, they made certain our concerns were addressed. We have used SB in the past, and we expect to use them again. **★★★★★ — rjposner, Oct. 2014** > Mike and his team were extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and honest. I understood what my options were every step of the way. The project finished on time and on budget. I would definitely hire Mike for any future projects! **★★★★★ — andrewduggan, Sept. 2014** > Mike and his team completed a full house remodel for us - inside and out. It was a spectacular job and neighbors and friends alike comment on what an amazing job he did. I could only trust someone like Mike which such an enormous job. His vision, planning, execution and forthrightness were essential to getting what we wanted. I would highly recommend him and his team. **★★★★★ — Design Studio, Sept. 2014** > I have worked on projects with Mike for nearly twenty five years. We have worked on remodel and new construction projects La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Coronado and throughout San Diego California. In fact, many of the project pictured in his profile are of projects we have done together. I more honest and professional contractor you will not find. Mike and his crews are always a pleasure to have in my clients homes. Mike is the kind of contractor who with proper plans and specifications, we could leave to project in his capable hands, and come back in an incredible finished product, though I would much prefer the daily interaction with this professional. I have an endless list of clients who along with myself would gladly refer him with utmost confidence. Within Select Builders, there is a level of care, attention to detail and pride in workmanship that just is not common anymore. **★★★★★ — lcampbell720, Sept. 2014** > I read the previous four reviews for Select Builders before attempting to write about our project. It becomes immediately apparent that the long list of Mike Mastrobatista's and Select Builders' exemplary attributes include the consistency of demonstrating all their other assets; personal and company integrity, quality workmanship, regular and accurate communications and hands-on project management to every client. As a Select Builders client, one also benefits from subcontractors who each demonstrate the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction as Mike, Tyler and the entire Select Builders crew. **★★★★★ — bradleybrunon, April 2014** > My experience with Mike M. and Select Builders could not have been more positive. We started with a small remodel on a vacation home and soon discovered that there were serious structural problems that had to be remedied. Mike went out of his way to present alternatives and ways to economize without compromising the project. He wound up doing design work to maximize the space and utility of a small kitchen and laundry room adjoining a small bathroom and utility room. He moved a wall and door and made the entire space much more attractive and useful. He recommended a paver patio and entry way that came out beautifully and gave us much more room than we had before. Perhaps best of all, he corrected any problem that he found without us asking and he has followed up on little details even though the project has been done for weeks. We have worked with several contractors over the years and Mike is one of the very best. I recommend him without reservation. **★★★★★ — laura\_rosenthal, Feb. 2014** > As a designer, I have worked with Mike on a number of projects, large and small. His eye for detail, meticulous bookeeping, and desire to please the client make for a successful result every time. He is my "go to" contractor. I highly recommend San Diego Select. **★★★★★ — nokomisgirl3, June 2013** > Exceptionally competent and talented at producing a finished product the homeowner can be proud of. The knowledge and experience of this company is based on honesty and integrity. We were kept informed every step of the way through various projects. The first project was a total kitchen remodel in 1989l There have been multiple projects since then including a bathroom remodel and interior and exterior update of the entire house completed in 2012. We no longer solicit bids from other companies; when we have something to be done, we call SELECT BUILDERS with complete confidence. ## Selected projects - [La Jolla Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-jolla-custom-home-pj-vj~621684) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 25 - [Coronado Shores Condos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coronado-shores-condos-pj-vj~239407) - Location: Coronado, CA - Photos: 23 - [SoCal Custom Homes & Remodels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/socal-custom-homes-and-remodels-pj-vj~484537) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Carlsbad Vacation Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlsbad-vacation-beach-house-pj-vj~456083) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 5 - [Orange County Tropical Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orange-county-tropical-beach-house-pj-vj~242169) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Point Loma Custom Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/point-loma-custom-homes-pj-vj~242174) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 9 - [Spanish-inspired Interior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-inspired-interior-pj-vj~242185) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Coronado Black & White Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coronado-black-and-white-contemporary-pj-vj~1242649) - Location: Coronado, CA - Photos: 2 - [Our Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/our-work-pj-vj~1845727) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Coronado Harbor Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coronado-harbor-studio-pj-vj~1242644) - Location: Coronado, CA - Photos: 7 - [Carlsbad Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlsbad-kitchen-pj-vj~1242606) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 4 - [Coronado Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coronado-bath-pj-vj~1242648) - Location: Coronado, CA - Photos: 3 - [Landscapes & Hardscapes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscapes-and-hardscapes-pj-vj~603051) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [San Diego](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-diego-pj-vj~2174802) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 8 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/select-builders-pfvwus-pf~125840376) ## Ideabooks - [San Diego Select Inc., dba Select Builders's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/45981471/list/san-diego-select-inc-dba-select-builders-s-ideas) — 13 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sandiegoselect) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the vanity. Who sells it, or if it’s custom, who made it?** *(in Photo Questions)* Thanks, Toni Clark A: Hi Toni, We bought the vintage workbench over at Cedros in Solana Beach and converted it into a sink for our client. Not sure if the place is still there? **Q: love the shells/wooden frames** *(in Photo Questions)* where can I find the four frames with shells in the back wall? A: The frames and shells were made and mounted by us. It was part of the whole bathroom design at the time. They can not be store bought. Thanks! **Q: What are they countertops? Color?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This picture is a little deceiving because the shadows make the countertops look darker then they are. They're a multi-white color with specks of grey and natural stone colors, but predominantly white. The material is quartzite. **Q: Beautiful. Who is the manufacturer of the door?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello Sueparker57, These doors were made by a local cabinet maker who, unfortunately, is no longer in business. **Q: floor** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the beautiful floor? thanks!
