Fausto Construction is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Fausto Construction is the best I’ve ever worked with! I’ve dealt with contractors who met deadlines but delivered mediocre work, and others who were meticulous but took forever to finish. Fausto struck the perfect balance—paying attention to every detail, producing high-quality work, and completing everything on time. Since I don’t live near my condo, I needed someone I could trust completely, and Fausto did not disappoint. He provided regular progress updates with photos, and the communication was excellent. Thanks to Fausto, my condo now has stunning new floors, a high-end shower, and beautiful finishing touches that make it feel brand new while preserving its beachy charm. He listened to my ideas, made thoughtful suggestions without any hard upsell, and truly cared about the final result. I’m beyond happy with his work and will absolutely use Fausto Construction again for my next big home improvement project!"

Our project minimum is $5,000. WE DO NOT OFFER COUNTERTOP REPAIRS. We specialize in HIGH END design projects. Mention Angi and claim a $49.99 consultation; a $249.99 value! Over 100 positive reviews! 760-809-7266. We are still open for business and following all safety precautions for COVID19. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Super Service Award winner on Angie's List! Chris Alan Design is a sole proprietor La Jolla Ca. based design company. We offer a wide range of Interior Design options and partner with some of San Diego Counties most trusted contractors. Christian Delp, our principal designer has 30 years of design experience from which to draw. He has serviced the San Diego area since 2001. Additional email - [email protected].

"In August 2024, my husband and I decided to replace all of our interior furnishings. We originally started our project by working with the “designers” in the stores where we were making major purchases. It took us over 8 months to realize what a BIG MISTAKE that was. Long story short, we called Christian in April 2025. Christian came to our home and talked with us to understand the scope of the project. We wanted to redecorate the family, dining, and living rooms. Christian spent time getting to know us, asking us what we do for fun, and how we live our lives. He gleaned from us that we are adventurous travelers, with a love of the outdoors; he noticed my husband is into music and has a love of classic rock musician hard-cover biography books; he noticed that we both are somewhat minimalistic and that we prefer an orderly space. Christian’s tireless energy over the next 4 months produced recommendations for sofas, artwork, accessories, lighting, area rugs, coffee, end, and drink tables – you name it, Christian thought of it! We needed it all. His recommendations fit not only our lifestyle and our aesthetic preferences, but our personalities. Case in point, during our travels over the years, we’ve taken many photos of the places we’ve been. But these photos lived in our phones – where they weren’t being appreciated. Christian had the brilliant idea to showcase the photos on the wall in the dining room using MixTiles; he also suggested making two huge pieces of wall art for both our entryway and our living room. The result is nothing short of amazing. Christian also brought his crews in for electrical work and some painting. They were friendly, professional, speedy, and very clean. Christian was simply a joy to work with and he made our house not only beautiful, but comfortable, functional, and SO US! He was always available for a visit when a piece of furniture arrived, was always honest with his opinion, and always included my husband. Christian turned what was originally a very frustrating project into a wonderful experience and we are thrilled with the end result. We can’t say enough about Christian’s work and we are proud to call him friend. There is no other designer who will work harder for you, at a more than fair price, with a more than astonishing end result. Thank you, Christian!"

"I run a preschool in the Hillcrest area of San Diego. We had a very large deck that needed to be rebuilt. DS Legend Home Builders did an excellent job. They gave us a resonable quote. Walked us through every step that was going to take place. They also finished in less time than they originally quoted. We encountered a few hiccups, but each time I needed something, they were very quick to respond. We loved their work so much so, that we are having them do a few other projects we need done around the school. I would 100% recommend them."

I started "I'll Handle It" to address what I recognized as a need that homeowners have for competent, knowledgeable and courteous home improvement service professionals to help them with all manner of projects large and small. Founded in San Diego, "I'll Handle It" is a home grown business that prides itself in its responsiveness to its customers needs. At "I'll Handle It" "Professional Service You Can Rely on" is our mantra, and we can prove it.

"Dave was great! The best communication and transparency I've seen in a long time. Dave explained what he needed to do to install the dryer vent and got right to work...NO wasted time. He installed the vent and made sure it was working properly. The vent looks great! Dave is knowledgable, professional, and a nice person. He also stayed in touch, letting me know how soon he would arrive and when he was on his way. I really appreciated that. We will definitely call him the next time we need a handyman."

What impressed me the most was how patient she was—she never rushed me, even when I changed my mind a couple of times on materials and layout.

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Fortunately, there are many types of heatproof countertops. Granite, quartzite, concrete, and stainless steel are all fiery contenders. These surfaces work best in busy kitchens where hot pots, pans, and baking sheets are part of the daily routine. Plus, their durability means you get a long-lasting work surface that won’t flinch at a bit of heat or heavy use. However, many stone and concrete counters require a sealer, which is typically not heatproof.

Deciding which countertop material is best for your kitchen is up to your personal preferences and priorities. Marble offers a luxurious aesthetic, timeless beauty, and a cool surface, but it’s also more expensive and requires more maintenance. On the other hand, granite is highly durable, heat-resistant, and easier to maintain, making it suitable for busy kitchens and households on a budget.

Countertops play a significant role in determining your home's resale value. High-quality, stylish countertops can attract potential buyers and increase the overall appeal of your property. Desirable materials like granite, quartz, or marble often command a higher resale price. On the other hand, outdated or damaged countertops can deter buyers and lead to lower offers. Investing in attractive, durable countertops can be a smart move to boost your home's resale value.

A countertop is a broad term that applies to multiple rooms in the house, like kitchens and bathrooms. Meanwhile, a vanity top is specifically associated with bathroom cabinets. In short, all vanity tops are countertops, but not all countertops are vanity tops. When discussing a bathroom, the phrases “countertop” and “vanity top” are used interchangeably.

The minimum counter depth for a kitchen island is around the same as for a standard kitchen countertop, which is around 25 to 26 inches. This depth allows adequate room for food preparation, dining, and working on the island. However, as with other kitchen countertops, depth can vary based on specific needs and preferences in your household.
