Alena Brooks Blasio, along with her Father, Brooks Worthing and their team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals have been doing just that for hundreds of homeowners throughout San Diego’s North County region for over forty years. Brooks had not yet graduated from college when he finished building his first home. It was immediately clear that he enjoyed the building business. Earning his General Contractor’s License in 1980, recognition of his skills came quickly for the young home builder. Brooks’ business grew and soon he was building and remodeling more than twenty homes and commercial buildings a year. Brooks was the active President of B.A. Worthing, Inc. / Brooks Design for forty years, after which he asked his daughter Alena to step into the leadership role. Alena has been the active President of Team B.A. Worthing, Inc. since 2019. Having worked together as a team for over fifteen years, Alena and Brooks continue to maintain a collaborative design and construction process with their clients, and each other. Team B.A. Worthing, Inc. believes that whether they are building a new home from the ground up, or remodeling an existing property, it is essential that an open and clear line of communication exists with their clients. “We want our customers to be involved from the very beginning,” Alena states. “When we meet with a client for the first time to discuss an upcoming project, our highest priority is to listen very carefully to their ideas and concerns so we have a clear vision of what they desire. Clients may pull ideas from magazines, Instagram, Pinterest, or their own imaginations. During the design collaboration we are able to put their thoughts down on paper, develop a realistic program for their desired space, and actually begin the process of making their dreams a reality.” ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Kitchen Remodeling - Home Additions - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Design - Home Extensions - Bathroom Design - Architectural Design - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Building Design - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Architectural Drawings - House Plans - Flooring Installation - Home Restoration - Design Consultation - Floor Plans - Garage Building - Universal Design - Basement Design - Outdoor Kitchen Design - Laundry Room Design - Attic Conversion - Space Planning - Lighting Design - Site Planning - Drafting - Garage Design - Foundation Construction - Home Theater Design - Carport Installation - Wood Floor Installation - Staircase Design - Demolition - Landscape Plans - Lighting Installation - Garage Storage - Radiant Floor Heating - Bicycle Storage - Custom Home ### Areas Served - Oceanside - Carlsbad - Vista - San Marcos - La Costa - Encinitas - Cardiff By The Sea - Rancho Santa Fe - Ranch Santa Fe ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | B.

The BA team did a great job. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled. Their employees are professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend BA construction needs. **★★★★★ — annielouna, March 2023** > If you are trying to decide between several contractors I highly recommend B.A. Worthing. I had a great experience with Alina and John and doing my project, long distance at times, never caused any problems. I was open to the recommendations Alina had, although I can be pretty stubborn, and I'm glad I was. My condo in the SeaBluffe community came out beautiful and I loved our working relationship. **Comment from B. A. Worthing Inc.:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your experience working with our team. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and are so glad to hear you enjoyed working with our team, the value of our team's craftsmanship, and love all of the improvements! **★★★★★ — Catherine Saarinen, March 2023** > We had recently purchased our home and needed to do some renovations before our baby was due in August. Alena and John worked tirelessly to make sure that things were ready before our due date. We were out of the country for part of the renovations, and they were always gracious to help us even when timezones were challenging and our cell service wasn't always great. Our home is modern with a lot of unique design details and the team did quality work. You wouldn't know that the work they did was a renovation and not part of the original design. They are very trustworthy, doing what they said they would do on time, and communicative. I heard from John almost daily, giving updates, asking questions, etc. We will definitely work with them again! **Comment from B. A. Worthing Inc.:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your experience working with our team. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and are so glad to hear you enjoyed working with our team and that the result was better than expected. **★★★★★ — Dean Mast, March 2023** > We have known the Worthing Family since 1996 when Brooks Worthing was the Owner/Builder of B A Worthing, He had built many new homes in Carlsbad and was very familiar with the Carlsbad City Building department and the processes that they use to build and remodel homes. In 2018 when it was time to improve my properties, I called B A Worthing to give me an estimate. It was not the cheapest but what I learned later, it was that it was the most accurate. The price quoted on my New build on Oak Street was accurate and nothing was missed from the beginning to the occupancy permit from the City of Carlsbad. Because of their experience you will not find surprises and add ons during the building process. The Sub contractors and BA Worthing have worked together for many years, which insures that the job will be done right or it will be corrected without a problem. When Alena joined BA Worthing, we were ready to do another major remodel at our family home on Larkspur, Alena's design education in Boston was a BIG help in getting the latest layout, color and functionality for our Kitchen as well as the choices we had for the Master Bath. I would welcome anyone that wants to look at either of the projects that BA Worthing built for us. You won't be disappointed. **Comment from B. A. Worthing Inc.:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your experience working with our team. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and are so glad to hear you enjoyed working with our team and the value add of working with a certified interior designer. It has been a pleasure to work with you on every project we have completed with you! **★★★★★ — dscurlock, March 2023** > Alena and all of the B.A. Working team were excellent in completing our remodel in Carlsbad CA. We could not have asked for a more professional group of individuals who truly cared about what we wanted for our new retirement home and they delivered our dream remodel. We love, love, love, our home and would not change a thing that they did. Thanks B.A. Worthing Inc. **Comment from B. A.

Looking forward to more future projects together when possible. **★★★★★ — tappergirl2, March 2023** > We have used B.A. three times for home improvements and I would not use anyone else. I have also referred them to several friends and neighbors who have been very happy. > They are the most efficient with communication, they use the best contracting services and they are classy and professional. > The staff answers their phones, returns calls and emails in a timely manner and open to customers ideas and thoughts. The company is small which was appealing to us and never missed a beat. > I cannot say enough great things about B.A. Worthing and their team! > (they built a home dance studio from a third car garage, installed a playroom/filled in the ceiling and did modifications to our living room space) **Comment from B.

They were great to work with, they knew what they were doing, and they ensured work was completed to the highest quality standards. We were in constant communication and collaboration, and they ensured we conquered the many challenges and decisions needed quickly and efficiently. They took care of our concerns along the way, and ensured they exceeded our expectations. Thank you B.A. Worthing team. > > We love our new home and are proud to refer B.A. Worthing and their team of professionals. They get it done the right way! > > Kevin and Jennifer Blakeborough **★★★★★ — Greg Smith, Nov. 2018** > Brooks was referred by a friend and came with fantastic reviews after doing several months of work with them. Brooks and his team were incredibly professional, honest, respectful of our space and fair. > > We are thrilled with the result and had such a great experience with their team and the professionals that they work with. If you are doing any kind of renovation, I recommend you give Brooks a call. **Comment from B. A. Worthing Inc.:** > Thank you Greg & Hanin it was a pleasure working with you to make your dream home renovations a reality. **★★★★★ — paulalack, Dec. 2015** > We had our 990 square foot cottage torn down to the studs and remodeled and expanded into a modern and very "liveable" home. B.A. Worthing incorporated a grey water system, all LED lights, and designed an innovative living space. It all happened on budget and on time. We are super happy!!! The people at B.A. Worthing are great to work with and the subcontractors were all excellent. It was such a nice experience that we will remain friends with a lot of the people involved. When we added details here and there the attitude was very "can do". We ended up getting what we wanted. The design/build concept worked out very well too...Brooks was very creative with the design and having one shop design and build really speeds up the process. Further, B.A. Worthing has a great reputation in the neighborhood for quality work and he works well with the City of Carlsbad. We are big fans! **★★★★★ — Christie Horn, Dec. 2015** > We interviewed three contractors for a complete remodel of four bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in our 1978 Olivenhain home. Our plan was to move into the Living Room during the 3 month renovation. Brooks Worthing, Owner of B.A. Worthing, Inc. won out and we signed the contract. He was the most down to earth, yet knowledgeable. I am in real estate, and independently kept running into past clients of Brooks as well who all raved about him, his creativity and work product. The common theme was honest, professional and they do what they promise. They have an excellent set of subcontractors and resources so we were expertly guided throughout the entire process. We just finished our project and I mirror what the other clients have said. Especially because of Brian Jones, our superintendent, the work was impeccable and the attitude professional and without typical work site drama They met our deadline, were on budget as they promised and now we have a gorgeous new home. We give Brian Jones specifically and B.A. Worthing generally a five star rating!!!! **★★★★★ — Samantha Mears, Oct. 2015** > I can't say enough about how wonderful this company is. They are presently working on the second building job for me and I would not have any qualms about recommending them. **★★★★★ — greencathyw, Oct. 2015** > We hired B. A. Worthing Inc. to do an upstairs room addition which we use as an extra family room, guest room, and office. We are very happy with the finished room and it was exactly what we wanted. They were professional, reasonably priced, timely and did an overall great job. I have recommended them to several of my North County friends. They also did my neighbors addition and it is beautiful! ## Selected projects - [Moore Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moore-kitchen-and-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~6592719) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - Description: Full Interior 1st Floor Remodel: Kitchen, Powder Bath, Coffee Bar, Living Room, and Dining Room. - [Rhodes Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rhodes-interior-remodel-pj-vj~6643901) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - [Groezinger Kitchen & Living Space Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/groezinger-kitchen-and-living-space-remodel-pj-vj~6592896) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Barre Kitchen & Living Space Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barre-kitchen-and-living-space-remodel-pj-vj~6643699) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [Scurlock Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scurlock-kitchen-and-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~6592855) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - [Blakeborough Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blakeborough-residence-pj-vj~6837979) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Shelton Master Suite Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shelton-master-suite-addition-pj-vj~6592791) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Wintergreen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wintergreen-remodel-pj-vj~6837982) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Whitson Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitson-interior-remodel-pj-vj~6592980) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Coastal Modern Oasis in Carlsbad, Ca. - [Briggs Addition + Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/briggs-addition-interior-remodel-pj-vj~6592900) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Baetge Custom A.D.U.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baetge-custom-a-d-u-pj-vj~6592909) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Saxton Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/saxton-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6592864) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Chambers Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chambers-residence-pj-vj~7043610) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Smith Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smith-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6592824) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Langford Interior Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/langford-interior-remodel-pj-vj~6837993) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Campbell Garage A.D.U.
