San Diego General Contractor

When you hire a general contractor, you’re trusting one person to run your entire project — the trades, the permits, the schedule, and the budget. Since 2014, Dave Romero has done exactly that for homeowners across San Diego County. We handle kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs, and whole-home remodels under one license (CA Lic #1004363) and one point of accountability. No subcontractor finger-pointing, no surprise change orders, no guessing where your money went. Just a fixed written bid, a clear timeline, and a crew that shows up and does the work right.

What a General Contractor Actually Does

A general contractor is your single accountable point of contact for the whole project. Instead of you hiring and coordinating a dozen separate trades, we do it — and we own the outcome. On a typical remodel, that means we handle:

• Pulling and managing permits with the City and County
• Scheduling and supervising every trade — framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, paint
• Ordering materials and keeping the job on budget
• Coordinating inspections and signing off on code compliance
• Keeping you informed at every stage of the build

When one person runs all of it, the trades don’t blame each other and nothing falls through the cracks.

Services We Self-Perform & Manage

Some work our own crew handles directly. Other specialized trades we manage through vetted partners we’ve worked with for years. Either way, the quality and accountability stay with us. Across San Diego County, we deliver:

• Kitchen remodels — layouts, cabinetry, counters, lighting, and appliances
• Bathroom remodels — from simple refreshes to full primary-suite builds
• Room additions — bedrooms, offices, and second stories
• ADUs — detached and attached accessory dwelling units
• Whole-home remodels — top-to-bottom renovations
• Custom cabinetry, flooring & fireplaces — the finish details that make a home yours

How We Work

We keep it straightforward, because that’s what earns trust. Here’s what working with us looks like:

• Fixed written bids — a detailed, line-item quote before we start. The price we agree on is the price, barring changes you request in writing.
• Permits handled — we pull every permit your project needs and schedule the inspections.
• Clear communication — you’ll know who’s on site, what’s happening this week, and what comes next.
• Workmanship warranty — we stand behind our labor. If something we built isn’t right, we come back and make it right.

No high-pressure sales, no vague handshake estimates — just an honest plan and work we’re proud to put our name on.

Why Choosing a Licensed GC Protects You

Anyone can call themselves a contractor. A licensed one is a different thing entirely. We carry California license #1004363, and we’re both bonded and insured — which matters more than most homeowners realize until something goes wrong. Hiring an unlicensed contractor puts the risk on you:

• If a worker is injured on an uninsured job, you can be held liable
• Unpermitted, unlicensed work can fail inspection and tank your home’s resale value
• You have little recourse if the job is abandoned or done wrong

With a licensed, bonded, insured GC, you have real protections, real accountability, and a contractor the state holds to a standard.
