Steve and his crew are a genuine group of people who work hard, do great work, and enjoy what they…read moredo! Not to mention they felt grateful for the work. Renovated my 1940's bathroom, taking it down to the studs, and turned it into exactly what we wanted. He also made improvements to our master bathroom. I called 22 different companies in San Diego before choosing a contractor and from the start, I knew we were going to pick him. He was definitely top 3 most affordable. With his smaller company and no marketing side, you save so much overhead cost. His dad was a contractor, passing down a wealth of knowledge to go along with Steve's already lengthy career. His wife used to work in HR so even our unofficial estimated bid was incredibly detailed. Everything itemized and you knew where your money was going. You didn't just get this huge amount. Then in the actual contract, he includes a payment schedule. They use an electronic invoice service as well, making it easy to keep track of what you've paid. All laid out and professional. With someone being in your home for an extended period of time, it was important that we get someone we would be comfortable around our kids. He was great all around, great to talk to (that's how I know details of his family lol) and my kids are actually going to miss him and his crew haha. He's a tall guy but as nice and jolly as can be! Of course with any renovations, things can't be guaranteed because who knows what's behind the wall or under the floor. But he did the best he could to work with us when any unexpected cost came up. Financially fair in my opinion. We'll be using him again when we've saved up for our kitchen!

Do not use this man-I hired him and paid him close to 7K to paint my tiny mobile home and redo my…read morebathroom. The quote specifically said PREP and paint and he did NO prep and the painting was very sloppy (see pics) When I asked him to fix it he said it would cost extra. In my bathroom, I paid him almost a thousand dollars to install a bathtub and surround, unfortunately that obviously did not include trim or caulking. (see pics) I paid him $250 to install a vanity which of course did not include installing the top or the cabinet doors (see pics). I originally hired him to put in the new sub-floor, he was friendly seemed to know what he was doing however after he refused fix the issues and yelled at me, between when I had scheduled someone to put in the new flooring, we ended up with another hole in the floor (see pics) because he did not do it correctly. I was open to him coming back to fix the issues but I have not heard a word from him. If you disregard my advice and hire him, please take note that he will not give you quotes until the day of (like 10 minutes before he shows up so you don't even see it until afterwards) and the prices are ridiculous, that mirror in the bathroom was $100 to hang. It did not need any cutting and there is STILL plastic on it so I have to take it down and rehang it. Also, after repeatedly asking him to make sure the doggie gate was up when he went in and out of my house, he allowed my deaf and blind 16 year old dog out and thought it was funny (luckily my neighbor saw him and returned him). He also yelled at me for asking him a question (I don't think I've yelled at the person signing my paycheck) so he obviously doesn't like animals or other people. I would just stay away from this guy, he does sloppy work and doesn't even stand behind his in-writing quotes. Getting an invoice from him is impossible, his record keeping is as sloppy as his work is.

**Excellent work from start to finish**…read more I recently had Chris handle a structural demolition and sliding door installation at my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied. From day one, they demonstrated true professionalism--the demolition work was precise and clean, and the new sliding door was installed flawlessly with perfect alignment and operation. What really impressed me was how they managed the entire project. They seamlessly coordinated with our concrete subcontractor to ensure everything was timed perfectly, and they handled all the city inspector communications and approvals without any delays or headaches on my end. The work was completed on schedule, the crew was respectful of our space, and the final result looks fantastic. If you're looking for a contractor who takes ownership of every aspect of a job--quality, timeline, and logistics--I highly recommend Chris.

With my background in real estate and property management, I've worked with many contractors over the years -- and it is truly hard to find a good, honest, and reliable contractor. Chris is exactly that. We received multiple bids, and his pricing was competitive -- but what really set him apart was how much he genuinely cares about doing quality work. He is diligent, hardworking, and communicates clearly throughout the process. His subcontractors are excellent, and something that really stands out is how clean he keeps the job site -- which is extremely rare in this industry and very much appreciated. His wife handles the billing and administrative side, and they run a very smooth operation together. She is thorough, organized, and makes invoices, change orders, and project costs easy to understand and track. That level of transparency and structure makes a huge difference on a large project. Overall, Chris and his team have been fantastic to work with. Honest, dependable, and detail-oriented -- everything you want in a contractor. I will absolutely be recommending Mejia Builder to everyone I know.

He has basically destroyed my confidence in my home. I am currently in the process of gathering estimates to correct 10s of thousands of dollars of poor workmanship that does not follow accepted trade practices. Had a window consultant, a licenced glazing and general building contractor out to look at the windows. Result? All windows need pulled out, framing fixed, and reinstalled correctly. SJB also installed a window in my son's bedroom that violates fire egress code. The window only opens 18". Minimum is 20". So I need a new window there now. I have told Steve about the windows. He is ignoring me. Steve's only response to my concerns was to ask for more money, for me to sign a gag order so that I cannot review him, and to exempt him from any liability. Not. a. chance. I have attached pictures of Steve's attempt to ask me for more money and to relinquish all of my rights. Is this why I have posted the first bad review? Have others signed their rights away to make Steve go away? Not me. Steve claims I am grading "unfinished work". Tile, floors, and windows are straightened out later at the end of project? Right. So he was going to pull baseboards off and pull the planks out of the drywall? Then put the baseboards back on? He was going to magically correct the tile work? He was going to correct the window framing with the windows completely installed and all finishes complete? Makes sense. If you are reading this and had SJB do any work at your home in the past, I HIGHLY recommend inspecting the work. Also - often he said he is doing work for "free" or "part of the project". Be careful.

This isnt my first home, nor the first time I have used many contractors before. But the worst…read moreexperience before the job even started. I called Steve the second day I had a house leak to patch up drywall and renovate the upstair bathrooms. Steve showed up the about ten days because he was busy with his schedule and water mitigation was just finished. I asked Steve to give me two separate estimates; first for the bathroom with the leak, needed the pave new tiles, dry wall and the downstair ceiling drywall. Second, for the other bathroom I wanted to renovate. I explained that first bathroom will be covered by insurance and secondary will be paid by me. He noted. I waited approximately about a week for the quote, no response. So I called multiple times and texted him for 3 days. He said he was busy and he is working on the estimate. Finally he got the estimate, and it was done incorrectly because all the items and labor costs weren't itemized as I requested. Also, he added the second bathroom into the estimate which i also requested not to add all together. I told Steve that you need to revise this estimate, because insurance co. isnt accepting this form. Another week went by, and i havent received anything. All the sudden, Steve texted me if i have decided to use another contractor, i replied not yet, and I'm waiting on the estimate still. He forwarded me the revised estimate about a day later with second bathroom in the estimate. At the point, I've just given up. Basically, he left me hanging, and I have no master bathroom to use and giant hole in the ceiling. If I would have used another contractor, this would have been completed by today. Obiviously Steve couldnt follow simple instruction. I wouldnt trust my house in his hands either. If you like to wait for one response everyday 4 days, use Steve. Your remodeling will be done in about 6 months.

Not only is the quality of work that he and his crew--led by the amazing Jose--quite astonishing, but he is a caring guy who has gone so far above and beyond our expectations, that five stars is really insufficient. Mid-way in the process, my wife noticed two issues. The first was that if you came up from downstairs you could see the raw plywood, unfinished underside of the island's overhang. But worse, our cabinet guy neglected to tell Pat and his guys that our fridge was supposed to be framed with the cabinet above it extended out to be flush with the front. When we pointed this out to Pat, not only did we get no push-back from him, but he had them re-order the fridge side panels at no cost to us, then re-used the existing panels redo the island's top so that the underside of the overhang had the same finish as the rest of the cabinets, and then surprised us by using the rest of the material to build a cross-beam for our island lights, one that looks so sharp and clean that you'd think it had been designed that way. Frankly, I don't know if I do anything as well as they do their work, and if we ever have any kind of construction work in the future, Pat darn well better be available as I can't imagine using anyone else.

Throughout the whole process, they were very approachable and extremely honest. I think it's really hard to find a contractor/ construction company that has integrity like Pat and his crew. He never tried to up sell or nickel and dime us. He even helped to fix some areas in our house free of charge. They worked hard and fast and did a beautiful remodel in our house! If there was ever an issue that we wanted addressed, they fixed it right away. Out of all the contractors we met and got estimates from, Pat was the most reasonable and upfront. All of our friends and neighbors are so impressed with their work, and I have no regrets choosing them! In fact, I tell anyone I know who needs a good, honest contractor to give Pat a call. We will definitely be using him for future projects:)) We highly recommend Pat Aiello!!
