My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for General Contractors in San Diego

BuildMasters Contracting, Inc.
General Contractors in San Diego
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 13, 2018
“We have now completed three different projects with James O'Keefe and his BuildMasters Construction Inc., and I can say that I would not go with any other general contractor! He and his crew do impeccable work, are dependable, keep the client up to date on time and budget issues. He has great communication, is clear on his timeline so that we can order materials in a timely manner, and he is very detail-oriented. This project, a whole house remodel, shows up in his Houzz profile as "Encinitas Beach Remodel," and everyone concerned has said what a great job he's done. Finally, we have had 3 local real estate professionals tour the house, and every one of them has asked if we would share the name of our contractor. We continue to happily state that we are once again extremely satisfied with James O'Keefe and BuildMasters Contracting.”
ECO HOME BUILDERS INC
General Contractors in San Diego
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 9, 2021
“Remodeling has been a blast for me. The previous contractor I worked with was result-oriented and highly skilled and now with Eco Home Builders, I feel like I have been blessed for a second time. I hear some stores of outright bad and shabby contractors. Thankfully I have been left out ever since. Eco Home Builders has once again met the mark and they did so brilliantly. Working with Alan was joyous and productive. We had so much in common and connected quickly. He was of great help during the remodel and was instructive in seeing my home goals. I highly recommend Eco Home Builders.”
Creative Design & Build Inc
General Contractors in San Diego
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 30, 2019
“Creative Design & Build is just something else. I needed to get my bathrooms remodeled because I have just been dreaming to get a new one for a while now. They turned my dreams into a reality and I can not thank them more enough. They built it the right way and gave me the service that I deserved. So happy.”

A thorough general contractor's bid should include several key elements. Look for detailed cost breakdowns covering materials, labor, subcontractor work, and any allowances for fixtures or finishes. The bid should also specify the project timeline, payment schedule, and clarify what's not included in the price. Red flags in a bid include vague descriptions, unusually low pricing compared to other bids, missing permit costs, or lack of allowance for unexpected issues. A professional bid will also outline the contractor's process for handling change orders and additional work requests. Make sure everything is clearly itemized and request clarification for any terms or costs you don't understand. Compare multiple bids using the same criteria, and remember that the lowest bid isn't always the best choice - focus on value, completeness, and clarity.
