What San Diego Homeowners Say

Real reviews from real projects across San Diego County

The kitchen calculator was spot-on with our actual costs. We used it to budget our remodel in La Jolla and the contractor they connected us with was fantastic. Came in $2K under estimate!

Built our ADU in Carlsbad and couldn't be happier. The estimate tool helped us understand costs before talking to contractors. Now we have rental income that covers our mortgage!

How do I find a licensed contractor in San Diego?
