My elderly moms home in San Diego had a flood and Blue Line Builders did our remodel. Kevin Dorris was our project manager and he made the process work efficiently and timely, which wasn't easy as I live in Los Angeles and most things had to be handled by phone. I am very happy with the quality of work, the communication and the timeliness of the job. Blue Line worked well with our insurance company which covered parts of the remodel, and that made things easy for us. Their bid to do the job was fair and didn't waiver. When I wanted to upgrade something it was clear what the price would be. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blue Line Builders. Elizabeth Smokler read more

Had a positive meeting with owner Dan on Oct 29 for over an hour, fully described what we were looking for, definitely not an ordinary remodel and would require some custom carpentry to match existing. Dale seemed to understand what we were looking for, and said we would start by demo of some drywall to see what was inside. We'd had that wall open before and we told him what he would find but were okay with this being the first step. In the contract, it did state: "This estimate is for exploratory work only. To inspect the wall for structural, wiring and any plumbing in the wall. This estimate in no way is a guarantee that we will repair or continue with the proposed remodel of Plan B. This estimate is for demo only. Blue Line Builders may elect not to proceed with Plan B due to structural issues's." We went ahead and paid for the demo that we had already marked out on the wall and frankly could have easily done ourselves. The young man that did the work was very polite and tidy. He took a bunch of pics while he was here. Waited 2 weeks, emailed Blueline twice to find out about next steps. Dan eventually replied he would need to "re-inspect what was opened up and see if this project would be something I would want to get involved in." I was concerned when I read this because I knew nothing was discovered structurally to have them decide not to perform this work--why start if you never intended to continue without justification? Why waste each others' time? Dan came out 20 Nov, was here less than 5 min, said he needed his worker to come out and remove more insulation in the ceiling to get a good idea of the load bearing wall. So the same young man came out again, and removed a good chunk of my insulation to make the attic area visible. And thats it. Haven't heard from them since. I have a 4.5ftX7ft hole in my entry and am now looking for another contractor. I don't know why they started if this did not seem to be the kind of job that fit their schedule/kind of remodel. They learned nothing from tearing open the drywall that would have led them to decide not to continue to work with us. I wish they would have just said no, not interested. UPDATE: After this review, Dale contacted me and said this was not the experience he wanted me to have, and offered to come back free of charge to patch the hole. I declined but told him I appreciated the offer. I asked him to be more frank about work that may not be their bailiwick in the future, and we parted on good terms. read more

My review is overdue. We had major water damage two weeks before Christmas. Coming home from the happiest place on earth to a nightmare was so stressful as well as dealing with insurance. Me and my husband had heard the worst stories about hiring contractors and its such a stressful time thinking anything can go wrong when your trying to get your house fix. I was so blessed to have used contractor connect with my insurance because that lead to use meeting Dale and Tony. We did have a few contractors come over and provide us a bid but only Dale provide me one within 48 hours. The rest of the other contractors were asking for the insurance estimate. We hired Blue Line Builders and they were amazing. They worked with our ideas on how we wanted our new kitchen and bathroom as well as the rest of the house. Tony was our project manager and he was always reachable and helped us find different fixtures we were looking like my farmhouse sink. It did take them about a week more to finish due to covid but we are so happy how everything turned out. Thank you! read more

My house burned down march, 2017. Blue Line Builders rebuilt my house and did a great job. This company is full of craft men that do quality work, at affordable prices. The owner promised certain things and every promised was kept. Kevin, project manager, was responsive to everything I brought out in a timely manner. Kevin is one of the best project managers in CA. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this company for any needs you may have, no matter how small or big. I would give this company a 100% rating for their quality of work. read more

I was referred to Blue Line Builders through my insurance company. I was having a complete bathroom remodel, and I was 105% satisfied with my experience using Blue Line Builders. I initially met Dale, who provided a detail itemization of my project (8 or 9 pages). I had a strict budget, so I asked Dale to provide cheaper options to some of the more expensive options I wanted. The final price was clear, upfront, and fair! Kevin was my project manager, who kept me updated on all construction and the progress of my job. The projected started on time, and was completed within the time quoted. Kevin was great at returning calls/texts within 24 hours, even over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm super stoked with the final project. Removal of the plastic hotel/motel shower and replaced with all tile rain shower. New bathroom floors, new variety, toilet, and the redirected my hall closet to open inside the bathroom for additional storage with pullout shelves. I can't say enough good things about Dale, Kevin and all the subcontractors who made my bathroom exactly how I wanted it. I will be contacting Blue Line Builders for my next home remodel project! Thank you Dale/Kevin! read more

You want to talk about horse poop, lets talk about Blue Line Builders. I had water damage to my condo and my insurance company referred me to Blue Line. I would have had a better experience getting drunk and throwing a dart at an open page in the yellow pages. Blue Line's communication was terrible. I had to email, call, and leave messages every day to find out if some one was going to show up the following day to do work. When people did show up, they were a couple of hours late. This was the norm for nearly 5 weeks. The work that was performed was poor at best. Rebuilt closet shelves were so unlevel that hangers would slide to one side. No joke. Old base molding was pulled off for dry wall repair, snapped in to two, reused and painted over. I had to call these guys back twice to fix the work they did. Blue Line sucked. Stay far away. read more

Hello Yelpmates! Blue Line Builders came in after a water damage in my condo. The were recommended by my insurance company. Dale, the owner is a straight up guy! Kevin, juggles 3,000 balls at once but manages to "get 'er done!" When it got down to a critical deadline, they put the pedal to the metal and got it done. They went above and beyond in other areas without jacking me around. They conducted themselves professional too! Great job Gentlemen! I am really happy with the job! read more

Great experience working with Blue Line Builders. Very professional and quality work fixing up my ceiling, patching it up and painting.

In March 2020, we were looking for a licensed General Contractor to renovate a house and a separate apartment. We were exhausted after interviewing four prospective contractors. At that time, a friend recommended Blue Line Builders. How fortuitous that was for us! We called Blue Line Builders and the owner, Dale, came out the next day. We immediately liked him. He was down to earth, and his years of experience were evident. He listened to exactly what we wanted, took notes and put together a very detailed plan. He took the time to go through each line with us so that we completely understood it. Although he had a team of workers and a manager for the jobs, he was always available by phone and met with us regularly for progress checks. During the course of the work, we requested some additional work which had not been included in the original contract. This was no problem and those items were added and completed exactly as we had requested. We did not encounter the problems that you normally do with contractors. Dale is a good communicator. He is honest, down to earth and does what he says he is going to do. We highly recommend Blue Line Builders and would definitely hire him again. read more

This review for Blue Line Builders, Inc. is long overdue. My only regret is that we didn't gift ourselves with this remodel when my Mom & Dad were alive. Owner Dale was very respectful of my wishes to keep the essence of my Parents kitchen with the added convenience of 2019. They have a keen eye, save you money where they can, and stayed with me when I decided to change the granite, again! I could trust the Blue Line team to show up on time, clean up, produce something even better than I had imagined. Clarence custom-built a recycle cabinet in this unusable corner behind a door that was just fantastic. Curtis, so respectful, helpful. The subcontractors-flooring, plumbing, were excellent. All this was orchestrated by the Project Mgr Kevin who was always available and always patient. I'm sure they have much bigger jobs, but they treated me like I was their most important customer. Thank you Blue Line for giving us this beautiful space to make new memories in. My folks would've loved it! read more

Blue Line Builders just finished remodeling my 1960's era kitchen into a modern, stylish, functional gathering space for my family. Dale and Kevin and their crew were very professional and efficient. They made suggestions on areas where we could save money without sacrificing quality. My kitchen now looks it belongs in a model home and I could not be happier. Thank you Blue Line Builders! read more

Blue Line Builders handled the rebuild of part of one of our rental properties after the garage was destroyed by a fire. They were able to improve upon the original 40's design of the garage itself which was their idea and came out making the space much more usable. They also had to remodel quite a bit of the interior of the home because of smoke damage and it looks incredible now. Dale and Kevin were great to work with, I communicated with Kevin throughout the project and he was thorough and pleasant and always willing to answer my questions or offer up suggestions, he is a really great project manager. We also had Blue Line Builders add a bathroom on to the property and it came out great. Overall they were fantastic to work with and I was very impressed with their attention to detail and cleanliness. I have worked with a lot of contractors in my career as a real estate agent and owning several rental properties, but this was by far the best experience I have had. read more

Dependable. Communicative. Honest. Professional. Good work after water damage. No complaints.

I just saw the "review" from Launa C (valley center). Even though she didn't say anything about the company, I wanted to explain the reason for her anger. She is my tenant in a condo that was flooded. I hired Blue Line to do the renovation. They were doing a wonderful job considering that they had to work around my tenant and her cat. She wouldn't leave the condo while they were working. Last Thursday she removed the keys from the lockbox and wouldn't allow the workmen to enter. Now she is complaining that the job isn't getting done, but she has refused them entry. Perhaps that explains what kind of person she is. Blue Line is a wonderful company to have working for you. Dale and Kevin are pure professionals who bend over backwards to make sure you are getting everything you want on your job. The men who work for them are the best I've ever met with a special shout out to Jerry and Curtis. Sorry guys, for any problems this has caused you. read more
