We offer a full range of residential construction services. We specialize in home remodels, office remodels, bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, room additions, tile/ flooring installation, plumbing services, electrical wiring, interior and exterior paint, drywall installation, cabinetry, concrete and masonry, as well as ADU construction. We strive to make our customers homes or offices better and improve their lifestyles through our expertise in construction and design.

"Review time! Are you sure you want me to review EG Construction? The answer is, of course! Time has passed a bit since Elias and crew completed the project for our home here in San Diego. I just did not have the time to sit down and focus on a review for this company, but I do have time now. The guys who showed up to do the work were great. Communications from the group was excellent, no issues at all while we worked from home. The engineered wood flooring looks amazing and I really appreciate the care they took to provide a high-quality job while completing it within our agreed time schedule. Elias had no issue working this project through the holidays (it was almost Christmas), but good thing it was completed prior to that! Kudos to the crew for working so diligently and at the same time keeping the level of quality in check. No one is perfect, could there be something that they could do to improve? Sure, letâ s just say we were glad that we were not in a rush to get this project done. E.G. Construction was a bit slow to get back with estimates and follow ups on material prices. Talk about the price, their estimates were in line with other bids we received. Yes, we did shop around and almost went to another contractor, however, my wife leaned towards giving E.G. Construction an opportunity. In any case, the job was done right and thatâ s the most important thing that mattered. This is a family company, so I understand not all process is perfect so I did not mind for some of the communication delays. Paola was straightforward and easy to work with when we got in touch, she also was able to get me an answer when I asked. Also, maybe our home project is really small compared to what they are usually chasing after. Elias seemed to always act responsible and I love his stylish fashion outfit (I like his fashionable glasses the day he showed up for a final follow up with me). Not only do I recommend E.G. Construction, but we do not believe we are done with their services. Labor in general is not cheap, but quality service is not an option and I believe E.G. Construction provides excellent quality. Since we have enough left-over material to replace other carpet areas, we hope E.G. Construction will be our partner in that future project."

"Jay and his team at Greenland did a great job for me! I would highly recommend them! They installed a paver walkway and patio in the backyard, including a border around my grass area.

"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."

FAQs for carpentry projects in La Jolla, CA

The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around $65 per hour, but hourly rates can range from $35 to $250 or more, depending on the experience and skill of the woodworker. Your total woodworking project cost will depend on the complexity of the work, the type of wood, the number of projects, and any other materials your project requires. You could hire a professional woodworker to create everything from a custom cabinet to ornate, unique staircases.

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:

  • How long have you been in the woodworking industry?

  • What experience do you have with my type of project?

  • Do you have customer references I can speak with?

  • How long do you expect my project to take?

  • What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?

  • Do you charge hourly or per project?

  • Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?

  • Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?

While they perform similar tasks, a carpenter is responsible for the woodworking that goes into construction—like framing, installing sheathing, and hanging kitchen cabinets—while a woodworker tackles more intricate and custom projects—like building custom furniture and installing wainscoting. Based on these definitions, most woodworkers can tackle the jobs of a carpenter, but you should always ask about your specific project when choosing a woodworker to ensure they have the necessary skills to tackle the job.
