"We sing the contract; the contractor came and measured the concrete stairs and existing broken handrail, and we got quote sing the contracts paid deposit and they came to install it just to see that the handrail they ordered was too small. Then they went silent for 2 months. It is October and we sing contract in August, we finally got response that the contractor got busy with larger projects...This is very disrespectful and non professional behavior."

Ritz Design Build, has served all of San Diego County as a design-build contractor since 1965.Their specialty is designing and building Accessory Dwelling Units, ADU's, and custom home additions, such as Master Suites, Family Rooms, Granny Flats (ADU's) Kitchen Extensions, and Second Stories. They also offer a 3D design service on all qualifying projects. This service allows homeowners to visualize their completed projects during the initial design stage. The service includes both interior and exterior 3D renderings and floor plan options. Put their 55 years of tried & true experience to work for you and see why so many of your neighbors have already chosen Ritz Design Build to design and build their home addition.

"From the first meeting with Ed and Claudia, my family knew we were in great hands. They listened to our needs and wants and offered advice to help us make the best decisions for our family. During the design process, all the details we reviewed and the team listened. The final design was exactly what I wanted. Once Ritz began the remodel, I was kept in the loop from permits, inspections, timelines, and everything else. I was never guessing. The project manger, Aiden, listened to all my questions and made sure I understood each decision made. When it came to the details, Aiden was always a phone call away. He spent hours working to make sure everything was perfect and that I was happy with the end results. Ritz was professional and timely and even completed the project within in the timeframe (over a month earlier than projected). During demolition, the crew worked to overcome any challenges that came their way. The construction process moved quickly and each team was professional. All subcontractors were part of the team ( plumbing, flooring, painting, etc.) they always were professional and answered any questions I had. Even during a pandemic, Ritz was able to design and build my dream home. I appreciate all their hard work and dedication to the remodel. Aiden is knowledgeable with his skills and handy work and led the team with excellence. Eddie designed a home that met all my family needs. The crews were top notch and the best of the best. And Ed and Claudia always treated us like family when we met. If you need your home remodeled, Ritz is the company for you."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in El Cajon, CA

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
