Home remodeling in San Diego can mean anything from updating a single room to a whole house remodel. A typical project might include reconfiguring layouts, updating kitchens and bathrooms, replacing flooring, fresh interior painting, new lighting and fixtures, and improving flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. As a full-service general contractor, we handle design, permitting, and construction under one roof so your home renovation stays coordinated start to finish.

Home renovation costs in San Diego vary based on the size of your home, the scope of work, and finish levels. Light cosmetic updates may start in the low tens of thousands, while a whole house remodel can run into the hundreds of thousands. The most accurate way to plan is an on-site consultation, where we assess your space and provide a detailed written estimate. We also offer financing to help make your project manageable.

Look for a licensed general contractor (verify the CSLB number), proof of insurance, clear written estimates, and a team that communicates well. Ask how they handle permits, timelines, and mid-project changes. Shiro Builders Group is licensed (CSLB #1155468), insured, family-owned, and local. We will walk you through every step and put everything in writing before work begins.

Timelines depend on scope. A single-room refresh might take a couple of weeks, a kitchen or bathroom remodel often runs four to eight weeks, and a whole house remodel, or major addition, can take several months. During your on-site consultation, we'll give you a realistic schedule for your specific project and keep you updated at every phase.

Yes, kitchen remodeling is one of our specialties. From modern kitchen remodels to full custom builds, we handle cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting, appliances, and layout changes for homeowners across San Diego, including Clairemont, Scripps Ranch, La Mesa, and Chula Vista. Whether it's a small kitchen remodel or a complete kitchen renovation, we design around how you actually cook and live.

Kitchen remodel costs in San Diego typically range from around $25,000 for a modest update to $75,000+ for a mid-range remodel, and higher for large kitchens with custom cabinetry and premium finishes. Your final number depends on layout changes, materials, and appliances. We'll give you a detailed written estimate after an on-site consultation, and financing is available.

Choose kitchen remodel contractors who are licensed and insured, show you past work, and give clear, itemized estimates. You want a team that handles design, permits, and installation so you're not managing multiple trades yourself. Shiro Builders Group is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1155468) that manages your kitchen remodel end to end.

Most kitchen remodels in San Diego take about four to eight weeks once construction begins, depending on the size of the space, whether you're moving plumbing or walls, and material lead times. We'll map out a clear schedule during your consultation and keep the work moving efficiently.

Yes. We handle bathroom remodeling and renovations of every size; from a small bathroom remodel or guest bath refresh to a full master bathroom remodel with custom tile and walk-in showers. We serve homeowners throughout San Diego County, including Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa, Spring Valley, and Encinitas.

A San Diego bathroom remodel usually ranges from about $12,000 for a straightforward update to $35,000+ for a larger or master bathroom with custom tile work and higher-end fixtures. Cost depends on the size of the space, whether you're relocating plumbing, and your finish selections. We provide an exact written estimate after an on-site consultation, with financing available.

Absolutely. We build fully custom bathrooms: curbless showers, freestanding tubs, custom bathroom tile installation, floating vanities, and layout changes that make small spaces feel larger. Tell us how you want the room to function, and we'll design and build it to fit your home and budget.

A renovation usually means refreshing what's already there; new fixtures, tile, paint, and finishes without changing the layout. A remodel goes further, changing the footprint, moving plumbing, or reconfiguring the space entirely. We handle both; during your consultation, we'll help you decide which approach fits your goals and budget.

An ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is a secondary living space on your property: a detached unit, garage conversion, or attached addition with its own kitchen and bathroom. Yes, we're an experienced ADU builder in San Diego, handling detached ADUs, JADUs, and garage-conversion ADUs from design through permits and construction.

ADU costs in San Diego generally range from around $150,000 to $350,000+ for a detached unit, depending on size, site conditions, and finishes. A garage conversion ADU or JADU often costs less since the structure already exists. We'll assess your property during an on-site consultation and provide a detailed estimate, and financing is available.

Yes. We manage ADU permits in San Diego for you, from plans and submittals to inspections, working with the City of San Diego or the appropriate county jurisdiction for your address. California's ADU laws have made approvals more streamlined, and we stay current so your project moves smoothly.

In most cases, yes. ADUs are designed to provide legal, permitted living space, and many San Diego homeowners rent them out for additional income or use them for family. Local rules can vary by jurisdiction and change over time, so we'll point you to the current requirements for your property during planning.

Yes. We build room additions across San Diego, like extra bedrooms, expanded kitchens, home offices, in-law suites, and second-story additions. As a licensed general contractor, we handle structural work, permits, and finishing so your new space blends seamlessly with your existing home.

House additions in San Diego typically range from about $200 to $500+ per square foot depending on the type of space, foundation and structural needs, and finishes. A simple room addition costs far less than a second-story addition. We'll give you a clear, itemized estimate after evaluating your home, with financing available.

We build ground-floor room additions, second-story additions, bump-outs, in-law suites, and attached ADUs. Whether you need one more bedroom, a bigger living area, or a whole new level, we design the addition to match your home's style and work within your budget.

Yes. Garage conversions are a popular, cost-effective way to add living space, and we handle them throughout San Diego. We can convert your garage into a bedroom, home office, gym, studio, or a fully permitted garage conversion ADU with a kitchen and bath.

A garage conversion in San Diego typically costs between about $60,000 and $150,000, depending on whether you're adding a kitchen and bathroom (for an ADU) and the level of finishes. Converting existing space is usually more affordable than building new. We provide a detailed estimate after an on-site consultation, and financing is available.

Yes. A garage conversion ADU is one of the most affordable ways to add a rentable, permitted unit in San Diego. We handle the design, permits, plumbing, electrical, and finishes needed to turn your garage into a legal living space.

Converting a garage to living space involves insulation, proper flooring, updated electrical, HVAC, windows for egress and light, and often plumbing if you're adding a kitchen or bath, plus permits. We manage the entire convert-garage-to-living-space process for you, from plans to final inspection.

We install all major flooring types: hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, laminate, and engineered wood. Whether you want hardwood flooring in the living room or durable LVP flooring throughout, we'll recommend the right material for your space, lifestyle, and budget.

Yes. We handle tile installation for floors, bathrooms, kitchens, and backsplashes: porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. From bathroom tile installation to large-format floor tile, our crews focus on clean layouts, level surfaces, and lasting results.

Definitely. Flooring is often part of a bigger kitchen, bathroom, or whole house remodel, and handling it together keeps everything coordinated and on schedule. As your general contractor, we sequence the flooring installation with the rest of your project so the finished result is seamless.

Yes. We provide interior painting throughout San Diego, from single rooms to full-home interior repaints. Our crews handle prep, patching, priming, and clean finishes, so your walls, trim, and ceilings look their best.

Our interior painting services cover walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets, and accent walls, plus drywall repair and priming. Whether it's home interior painting for a single room or a whole-house color refresh, we deliver smooth, even coverage with careful protection of your floors and furniture.

Look for an interior paint contractor who's licensed and insured, preps surfaces properly, uses quality materials, and protects your home during the work. Ask about the number of coats and cleanup. Shiro Builders Group is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1155468; we treat painting with the same care as any build.

Yes. Our house painters handle full-home interior repaints across San Diego, coordinating room by room to minimize disruption. We can repaint an entire home before you move in or refresh your current space with minimal downtime.

We handle full outdoor and backyard remodeling: patios, decks, pavers, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire pits, landscaping, and more. San Diego's climate makes outdoor living space a year-round asset, and we design backyards that are built to be used.

Backyard remodeling in San Diego ranges widely. A simple paver patio might start around $10,000, while a full backyard remodel with an outdoor kitchen, deck, and landscaping can run $75,000 or more. Your cost depends on the features you choose. We'll price it out clearly after seeing your space, and financing is available.

Yes. We build outdoor kitchens designed for San Diego living: built-in grills, counters, sinks, storage, and seating, with durable materials that hold up outdoors. We'll design your outdoor kitchen to flow with the rest of your backyard and patio.

Yes, deck building is one of our core outdoor services. As experienced deck builders in San Diego, we design and construct custom decks that expand your usable outdoor space and stand up to the local climate.

We build wood decks, composite decks, multi-level decks, and decks with built-in seating, railings, and lighting. During your consultation, we'll help you choose materials, like low-maintenance composite or classic wood, that fit your home, budget, and how you'll use the space.

Often, yes. Decks above a certain height or attached to the home usually require permits in San Diego. As your licensed contractor, we determine what's required for your project and handle the permitting so your deck is built safely and to code.

Yes. We're experienced retaining wall builders in San Diego, constructing walls that manage slopes, prevent erosion, and create usable, level areas in hilly yards, common across neighborhoods like La Mesa, Spring Valley, and Bonita.

We build concrete, block, stone-veneer, and segmental retaining walls, sized and engineered for your slope and soil conditions. We'll recommend the right type based on the height needed, drainage, and the look you want.

You typically need a retaining wall when your property has a slope that's eroding, when you want to level a yard for a patio or garden, or to hold back soil near a structure. If you're seeing shifting soil or runoff issues, we can assess your site and recommend the right solution.

Yes. Our paver installation covers driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks. As experienced paver contractors, we prepare a solid base and install pavers that look great and last for years in San Diego's climate.

We install concrete pavers, interlocking pavers, natural stone, and permeable pavers for driveways, patios, and walkways. We'll help you pick colors, patterns, and materials that complement your home and hold up to daily use.

Both have their place. Pavers offer more design options, are easy to repair (you can replace individual pieces), and handle ground movement well, while poured concrete can be more economical upfront. During your consultation, we'll walk through the trade-offs so you can choose what's best for your driveway and budget.

Yes. As a licensed general contractor, we provide concrete construction and installation across San Diego: driveways, patios, walkways, slabs, and foundations, poured and finished to last.

Yes. We handle concrete foundations and slabs for ADUs, room additions, decks, and new structures. Proper foundation work is critical to a lasting build, so we prep, pour, and cure to code every time.

Concrete repair in San Diego varies by the size and severity of the damage; minor crack or surface repairs may run a few hundred dollars, while replacing a cracked driveway or slab costs more. We'll inspect the area and give you an honest recommendation and estimate, repairing when it makes sense and replacing when it doesn't.

Yes. As part of our full-service contracting, we offer roof repair and roof installation in San Diego. Whether you need a leak fixed, a section repaired, or a complete roof replacement as part of a remodel or addition, we've got you covered.

Signs you may need a roof replacement include recurring leaks, missing or curling shingles, sagging areas, granules in your gutters, or a roof past its expected lifespan (typically 20–25 years for asphalt shingles). We'll inspect your roof and tell you honestly whether a repair will do or a replacement is the smarter investment.

Roofing costs in San Diego depend on the size and pitch of your roof and the materials chosen; repairs may run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while a full replacement can range from roughly $8,000 to $25,000+. We'll provide a clear estimate after inspecting your roof, with financing available.

Yes. We handle fence installation and gate installation across San Diego, for privacy, security, pets, and curb appeal. From full perimeter fencing to a single driveway gate, we build to last.
