I would recommend Tate & Son Construction to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional,…read morecustomer-focused contractor in the San Diego area. I worked at Tate & Son for 14 months and had the chance to see the company from several angles. I began by helping with financial reporting, then started going on job walks with Shawn Tate, the owner and general contractor. From there, I took over estimates and later became the office manager. Because of that, I saw what happens behind the scenes before, during, and after a remodel. One of the biggest things I learned is how much a great general contractor matters. Shawn is not just someone who manages a schedule. He works with customers to understand what they want, helps think through the design and practical details, coordinates with the specific trades, and keeps projects moving as professionally and efficiently as possible. He also knows how to communicate with architects, city offices, homeowners, and crews, which is especially valuable when a project involves permits, design questions, or unexpected issues. Shawn has decades of construction experience, and his knowledge is incredible. He understands kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, and remodeling work at a level that is rare. Beyond that, he is kind, fair, and very focused on making sure customers are happy with the end result. I retired at the end of June, and Diana, who is very capable, took over my responsibilities. Diana and Shawn make a great team, and I believe their partnership helps ensure project success. I have seen how much Shawn cares about doing things the right way.

My family and I are Jesus Christ followers and our Lord has provided for us our entire lives…read moreallowing us to overcome some of the largest storms we've ever battled. I wouldn't characterize the sudden burst of water that flowed from our kids' toilet as a storm, but it was an unexpected happenstance that upended our lives for almost three months. Ironically, my wife and I had been contemplating restoring our outdated bathrooms, but I had explained to my wife that we needed to wait until the home interest rates plummeted, so that we could refinance our home in order to remodel our bathrooms. God Is Good All The Time and we know He heard us, but I wouldn't have fathomed that us getting new bathrooms would have occurred this way. We are so thankful to God that He allowed Aaron McFadden, Freddy and his team, and Element Construction and Restoration to be the main contractor that were responsible for the beautiful bathrooms, new flooring, and restoration of the damage that occurred from the water damage. Our home was built in the 1970s, so it's antiquated and prone to have issues such as water leaks and other problems associated with owning an older room. Unfortunately, this is our third time having some type of water issue. We've had a slab leak, a leak from our water heater, and this most recent iteration, a sudden burst of water from our kids' toilet. When this most recent episode transpired, I was a veteran of handling the basics of having to deal with a water leak such as reaching out to my insurance, contacting a plumber, and ensuring mitigation assisted with our situation. What I wasn't experienced about was construction and restoration of three bathrooms, part of our downstairs ceiling, affected walls, and our downstairs flooring. Praise God our go to plumbing company, All American Plumbing, recommended a small business and North County construction contractor named Element Construction and Restoration. The owner of the company and Aaron are family, so it's a family-run business based out of Oceanside. They have work all over San Diego, so they provide service around San Diego County. Full disclosure, I'd rate Element Construction and Restoration 4.5 stars because we did have some delays as a result of wrong materials ordered, but I would give Aaron, Freddy (one of the subcontractors Aaron uses), and Freddy's team 5 stars based on the impressive workmanship, diligence, and how everything that was restored turned out. Writing about their work doesn't do it justice, so please look at the pictures of the project. It truly was a blessing to work with Aaron. He's a friendly dude, has a positive disposition, was overly communicative in a good way, and he was completely transparent about everything including being apologetic for some issues that came up during the project. From the start of the work where Aaron came out to measure things to our final inspection where he scrutinized the work that was done, he was professional and knowledgeable about what we were going to embark on. What I also appreciated about Aaron was keeping my adjuster in the loop and updated about anything that came up from our project. One of the things I want to upgrade in our home is our kitchen, but I'm not looking for God to put us through another storm. If you're in the market for construction, restoration, or renovation of your home, I highly recommend Aaron and Element Construction and Restoration.

We had a plumbing leak in the wall between our laundry room and garage, which required major drywall removal and several days of mold remediation. We hired Evan to handle the drywall replacement and painting, and he recommended the remediation company and coordinated with them while that was happening. In addition, we asked for help organizing the garage--something I'd been meaning to do for years. He built custom shelving for a tricky corner, installed prebuilt shelves, and added wall organizers to finally make the space functional. Evan was prompt, professional, and friendly throughout. His workmanship was top-notch, and we're really happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!
