General Contracting in San Diego

CCR Construction and Restoration is a California B-licensed general contractor, license #813685, and has been building in San Diego County for over twenty years. Most of our work is putting homes and businesses back together after water, fire, and storm losses. That is construction under the hardest conditions: unknown scope, a carrier reviewing every line, and an owner who needs to be back in the building.

Retail construction is the same trades and the same crews without the emergency. We take on additions, whole-home remodels, structural repairs, ADUs, and new construction for homeowners, property managers, and commercial owners.

Estimates are free. Call 858-397-2270 or use the form, and we will schedule a walkthrough.

What We Build

Residential

Room additions, whole-home remodels, and the structural work behind them. Because reconstruction is our core business, we are comfortable opening walls, replacing framing and trusses, and rebuilding the exterior envelope, not only refinishing what is already there.

Residential work we take on:

  • Room additions and second-story additions
  • Whole-home and multi-room remodels
  • Framing, structural, and load-bearing repairs, with an engineer where the load path is in question
  • Roof and truss replacement under our C-39 classification
  • Exterior envelope: stucco, siding, windows, and doors
  • Accessory dwelling units and garage conversions
  • Ground-up new construction

Kitchens and bathrooms have their own pages: kitchen remodels and bathroom remodels.

Commercial

Tenant improvements, buildouts, and repairs for retail, office, and multi-tenant buildings. Much of our restoration work is commercial, so phased schedules, after-hours work, and property managers with several tenants to keep open are normal for us.

Commercial work we take on:

  • Retail storefronts and showrooms
  • Office suites and tenant turnovers
  • Repairs and rebuilds after a loss, phased so unaffected units stay open
  • Code, ADA, and ordinance upgrades that come with a permit
  • Permit and city coordination

See commercial tenant improvements for how a buildout runs.

How We Run a Project

A remodel goes wrong in the gaps: between the estimate and the contract, between the demolition and the delivery date, between the person who sold the job and the person running it. We close those gaps on purpose.

  • Written scope before the contract. What comes out, what goes in, and allowances for anything not yet selected. The contract is written from the scope, not from a conversation.
  • Permits pulled and inspections scheduled by us. Structural, plumbing, and electrical work needs them. Cosmetic work often does not. We tell you which is which.
  • Materials on site before demolition. Long-lead items are ordered and, wherever possible, delivered before the first wall opens. Jobs that start and then stop are the number one complaint about remodeling, and this prevents it.
  • One project manager, one point of contact. The person you meet at the walkthrough is the person you call during the job.
  • Photo documentation you can see. Progress is photographed daily, the same way we document an insurance loss.

How the trades are handled:

Our own crews. Demolition, framing, drywall, finish carpentry, and site protection.

Licensed trade partners we manage and schedule. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. You have one contract and one point of contact; we hold the subcontractor agreements, certificates, and lien releases.

Change orders. Written, priced, and signed before the work happens, whether the change is yours or something we found behind a wall.

What to Have Ready Before the Estimate

  • A budget range. A real one saves a round of revisions.
  • Any HOA rules or CC&Rs that apply to exterior work.
  • Whether you plan to live in the home during the work.
  • For additions and ADUs, your lot size and what is on it today.
  • Plans, if you already have them. If not, we can tell you whether the project needs an architect or a designer.

General Contracting: Common Questions

Yes. California contractor’s license #813685 is a B General Building license, current and active, with C-15 flooring, C-36 plumbing, and C-39 roofing classifications. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance and a contractor’s bond.

You can verify all of it on the CSLB license lookup, and we provide certificates of insurance on request.

For some trades, yes, and we say which.

Demolition, framing, drywall, finish carpentry, and site protection are our own crews. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing are performed by licensed trade partners we manage and schedule. You have one contract with CCR, and we hold the subcontractor agreements, insurance certificates, and lien releases.

From a written scope, after a walkthrough.

The scope lists what comes out, what goes in, and an allowance for anything you have not selected yet. The contract price comes from that. Changes, whether you request them or we find something behind a wall, are written as change orders, priced, and signed before the work happens.

We do not quote over the phone, because a number given without seeing the space is a guess.

Yes. Structural, plumbing, electrical, and most exterior work needs a permit, and additions and ADUs always do. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and build the schedule around them.

Cosmetic work often does not need one. We tell you which category your project is in before the contract is signed.

We bring in a structural engineer whenever the load path is in question, and we do not guess.

That includes removing walls, adding a second story, replacing trusses, and most additions. The engineer’s drawings become part of the permit set, and the cost is listed in the scope rather than buried in it.

Usually, for single-room projects. We contain the work area, protect floors and contents, and keep the rest of the house usable.

A kitchen remodel means no kitchen for the duration. A whole-home remodel or a second-story addition is usually easier from somewhere else. We tell you which after the walkthrough.

Who you are negotiating with.

An insurance rebuild is scoped in Xactimate and approved by a carrier before it starts, and the materials restore what was there. A retail project is between you and us: your selections, your budget, your schedule. The crews and the documentation are the same. If you are rebuilding after a loss, start at reconstruction and repairs.

Yes. Detached units, attached additions, garage conversions, and junior ADUs, from feasibility through final inspection. ADU construction has the details.
