    Before and after of our Kitchen
    Lupita V.

    I hired Vejar's Design & Built for our full interior remodeling. We purchased our first home which was built in the 70's and was very dated. My husband and I had a vision of how we expected our kitchen and livingroom to look like and JC (Owner) did exactly that! I can't say enough about this Company, they worked hard all day to complete the time frame of 6 weeks. They were able to fully remodel my kitchen, 2 livingrooms, main bathroom, master bathroom, flooring, garage and painting and not to mention a few extras. I would definitely recommend this Company! JC and his crew are very knowledgeable, creative and professional. Thank you JC and Vejar's Design & Built crew for making my home feel New and Beautiful!!!

    Floors, paint, grime and new lights installed.

    We called JC to fully redo our condo. He came out for a consultation and was very professional. He was able to suggest things that we didn't even think of and bring the entire place together. His team was quick,clean and professional. We are thrilled with how quickly the job was done and it was even done under budget. The entire place looks brand new. We would recommend him to anyone and use him for any future needs.

    We hired Vejar to build a stainless steel cable fence in our back yard to replace a very ugly black chain link fence. As the pictures show, the result is awesome. The price was very competitive and the workmanship excellent. I would definitely recommend Vejar for your cable fence needs.

    JC and his team finished our master bath remodel. It was a "remove and replace" job. I would recommend them to anyone and so happy they clean up after they finish working every day. We are so happy with the new look. JC also helped us select tile, paint, cabinets and countertop.

    Definitely recommend Vejar's Design & Build to anyone remodeling they home. JC and his crew are very professional and perform quality work. They remodeled the interior of my rental property house which included kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, baseboards, and painting. JC made sure all my concerns were addressed. I live an hour away from the property in Escondido and JC would send pictures as the work was progressing. They went above and beyond to ensure I was completely satisfied. The price was affordable and the quality was great. Without a doubt, I would recommend Vejar's Design & Build to anyone remodeling their home.

    JC and his crew did a fabulous job designing and installing our glass wall in our backyard. The pricing was fair- in other words not so low that I questioned the validity. His team was on time and detailed. We needed to make a change and JC immediately addressed the issue with minimal impact to the project timeline. JC is a gem of a person too. So easy to talk to. Passionate about his work and providing excellent products. We will definitely be using Vejar's Design and Build again.

    It took us a long time to choose a contractor. After months of sifting through reviews, interviews, referrals, and dead-end meetings, we found Vejar's Design and Build Inc. Although the cost was not the lowest, the construction company most understood what we were looking for and seemed most capable of pulling off the job. It also helped because we saw his work on our friend's kitchen remodel. Vejar's Design and Build team is fantastic, especially Gaston. He is a real great guy, someone you can trust to get the job done right. In the time of COVID, we wanted folks to take precautions, and Vejar's Design and Build crew understood that. They are responsive, personable, strive to make the customer happy, and ultimately want to build a long-lasting relationship, which is hard to come by nowadays. On the remodel, my wife and I are super picky, and, like most projects, we end up fretting about every detail along the way. Vejar's Design and Build was very accommodating to all the questions and changes. Also, the owner, JC, helped us in designing our kitchen, including the island platform. We had our 1st floor completely redone, including the staircase and loft upstairs. Vejar's Design and Build made sure it was done how we liked. Even a few months later, we inquired about some fixes, and the owner had someone come right over and get it done within a couple of days. In the end, we loved our kitchen, fireplace, and staircase. Best decision we made in terms of house projects. Thanks, Vejar's Design and Build!

    I hired Juan to build a new deck on my house. He immediately called me back, got an estimate and followed up with me answering all my questions. He demolished my old deck and hauled everything off and built me a beautiful wood deck with Trex exceeding my expectations. He offered good recommendations which I took. I'm VERY happy with results. Good attention to details. On time, courteous, and kept on schedule. I highly recommend him.

    They added a retaining wall & concrete walkway with all the proper drainage

    JC and his crew were amazing. They transformed our backyard from jungle to amazing. They did everything from pavers & concrete, sprinkles & new sod to retaining wall and a glass wall in our yard. They worked fast and I was happy with the quality of their work and how everything turned out. JC made sure that every detail looked great before the job was done. I would highly recommend him and we also plan to use him again in the future!

    So very happy to have Juan do our kitchen remodel. I had a vision and he delivered! Juan even added ideas that he knew we would love!His crew worked fast and were great even during quarantine. We had our beautiful kitchen done in a little over a month. He is a perfectionist and wants his clients happy and satisfied. I will definitely recommend Vejar's Design & Build to everyone and would definitely hire him again.

    JC and his crew were spectacular in replacing our deck that I had built myself 15 years ago. Approx. 8' wide by 50' long. I had been ceramic tile but we replaced it with Trex. The demolition crew moved all plants and furniture to a patio location then proceeded to remove the deck, saving the railings that I made years ago for the replacement deck. JC's men were there promptly every morning and cleaned up most area before they left in the evening. The price was fair even with the few extras that had to be preformed that weren't visible until the demo. We couldn't be happier! We'll certainly have Juan and crew back for future upgrades when necessary.

    Vejar Design & Build just completed an amazing kitchen remodel for us. The project included customizing cabinets, refinishing cabinets, installation of new counters (including a customized butcher block island), a customized range hood, floating shelves, installation of a new sink and microwave and many more customized details. Juan and his team are professional, efficient and hard working. They made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it and when we weren't sure about something Juan had great ideas and suggestions. After every day of work the team cleaned up and even moped the floors! This project took 5 weeks, a little longer than expected but mostly because of additional customizations that we asked for in the middle of the project. We are very happy with our kitchen and will definitely use Vejar Design & Build again.

    Railing from lower level.

    JC and Crew are a solid, reliable and very experienced team. JC is easy to work with, creative in his approach, not shy about taking your vision and ideas and adding to them in a very productive and positive way. He has experts at each stage of the project and they work together as a well-orchestrated ensemble. Salvatore? He's the cornerstone. You are in great hands if he's on your project. Julian, Gaston, Ivan, Pablo...and more were efficient, effective and part of the family while they were in our yard. All are true craftsmen! We will use this team again.

    A JOB WELL DONE We…read morehave a long concrete driveway that curves up a hill to our home. The driveway is 47 years old and was in need of repairs to the driveway and to replace a low curved concrete wall on one side of the driveway, which was badly damaged by time and a large truck. From the Yelp website, I selected 3 five-star contractors for bids to repair the driveway. I'm in my late eighties and handicapped, but in my younger days I worked in construction starting back in 1952 as an apprentice carpenter. I have worked on many projects where I built forms to pour concrete for homes, high rise buildings, and underground tunnels. I have also worked on cementing casing in oil wells as deep as two miles and I have personally poured and finished concrete at my own home. So needless to say, I know a lot about concrete and construction in general. Now that I'm too old and crippled up to work, I'm always apprehensive when I have to hire men to work for me. All too often you get people who lack the skill and experience to do a proper job and often, they don't care how the job turns out. Then they leave behind a mess for the homeowner to clean up. When Oswaldo Minez came to look the job over prior to submitting a bid, I was very impressed with his knowledge and attitude. He told me he was the son of a father and son business and that was my background as well until my father's early death at a young age. The bid from Minez Concrete was the lowest bid and I gave them the contract. A few days later they called to say they had an unscheduled delay in their next job and they could begin work at our home. Oswaldo said they would show up at 7 AM and to my surprise the crew arrived right on time and every day thereafter. Oswaldo's father, Ramon is in charge of the actual work and I could tell right from the start that Ramon is an old school craftsman. He has trained his crew to be competent workers. Too often companies in southern California show up with a boss, who doesn't know what he is doing, and untrained men hired to work by the day. Not the Minez Company, their men are professional workers, who know their craft. On several occasions I have hired people and had to stand there all day making sure the job was done right and sometimes pitching in myself to do the job. After watching the Minez crew for a short time, I knew we were in good hands and I went back into the house. Every time I came out to observe progress there was Ramon supervising his men while working beside them to give us a first-rate job. The repairs all turned out beautifully and several people have commented upon how nice the driveway looks. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the work to go so smoothly and quickly. It was such a surprise and relief to be treated so well with a beautiful result. Oswaldo kept us informed regarding progress and his suggestions and those of Ramon contributed greatly to the final outcome. If you want a first-class experience at a fair price then hire Minez Concrete. They know what they are doing and they do the job right for a fair price. In today's world, that is rare.

They did such a piss poor job, failed the inspection and had so many complaints that the county stopped payment to them. They came back in May to grind down (butcher) the top layer of asphalt they previously poured and sprayed a coating of tack seal and left for the day. They posted no signs to stay off the wet road, allowing hundreds, if not thousands of cars to drive through the coating, tracking it everywhere (including about 50 driveways up and down the road). SD county works was notified of the problem but has failed to enforce the corrections. The road looks worse then ever. This company came to our neighborhood and essentially took a sh!t on our front doors. This company should not get another job.

The tasks were in a written contract signed by himself as the contractor, and myself as the homeowner for a lump sum. At this point, he tried to claim that I had changed the scope of work after we agreed to a set price, yet emails and preliminary contract documents confirmed that the scope of work never changed. He next tried to claim that because he signed my contract, I was tricking him to do more than he bargained for. He refused to return unless he was paid more money. This was unacceptable and his abandonment cost me an additional $500 more to have another contractor complete the unfinished tasks and fix poor workmanship. Specifically, when Johny was questioned about the lack of finish detail, he made an excuse and claimed a finished edge was not possible because of the type of block that was used. I don't know, did he just not care, or did he really believe what he told me? The work was not to trade standards and looked terrible. In addition, when questioned during the pour about the work not meeting county code, his defense was that he was building to "my requirements" and not to any county code. Then tried to claim that he was building to residential standards, and I was asking for commercial standards. The county standards I questioned were for residential construction. Ironically, the contract indicated that he would build to meet all applicable codes. His proposal also stated that he would comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, yet his excuse somehow became twisted was that it was my fault that he was not building to county requirements and I should have told him otherwise. Always an excuse that it was not his fault. There were several other project mistakes such as not ordering enough concrete, or improper rebar placement, bad elevations, but they can be overlooked. The most glaring problem was that he refused to provide a lien release for the work done and paid for. He also refused in advance to get lien releases from all the suppliers. As a work around, I offered to pay the suppliers directly, and did exactly that. I never got a lien release from him though. After he gave me the ultimatum to pay him more or he would not return, he he also stopped communication via email and ignored my further requests that he provide to me a lien release. Just before he stopped communicating, he claimed that I didn't know what I was talking about since I was not a contractor. Surprise Johny- I am a licensed California contractor and do know what I am talking about. Johny will try to get you to give him a down payment greater than 10% or $1000 maximum allowed by law. His reason: all his contractor friends do it. What about knowing the contracting laws? He is a licensed contractor after all. He will prey on the ignorance of the homeowner. The contract that he presents is severely deficient and does not meet CSLB minimum requirements and contains ridiculous provisions such as paying 60% interest. Sure, Johny came out and worked hard, but when things didn't go his way (as in getting more money), he tried to blame me. This job was not done by a professional. He was not fantastic, did not do a great job, and experience was far from amazing.
