What building in Santee actually involves
We build around what this area actually demands, starting with the housing stock itself: Single-story post-war ranch tracts on slab-on-grade. Licensed general contractor (CSLB #1063782) specializing in home remodeling, additions, kitchen and bathroom renovation, new construction, and ADUs in Santee and throughout East County San Diego.
Santee sits in a broad inland valley where the terrain flattens out compared to much of East County, but you will still find plenty of sloped lots along the edges of the community where grading, retaining walls, and drainage management become real line items in a project budget. The soil in this part of San Diego County tends to run toward expansive clay in lower areas and decomposed granite on the hillier margins, so a soils report is often worth having before you commit to a foundation approach on anything beyond minor work. Most of the housing stock dates from the 1960s through the 1990s, which means you are frequently dealing with original single-story ranch homes that have aging electrical panels, galvanized plumbing, and roofs that were built before current energy and wind load expectations, all of which tend to surface once walls open up. The inland location also means wider temperature swings than coastal San Diego, with hot dry summers and occasional Santa Ana conditions that affect material choices for exterior work, roofing, and anything you are trying to cure or seal during the warmer months. San Diego County holds more than a dozen incorporated cities plus a large unincorporated area, so the building department that reviews your project depends entirely on which one your parcel falls in. Everyone here works from the California Building Standards Code and from state ADU law, but submittal format, plan check depth, fee structure, and inspection scheduling are set locally and differ from one jurisdiction to the next. Coastal, fire district, and design review each sit on top of the standard building permit, and your local building department can tell you which ones your parcel triggers. That answer can add months before a permit is ever issued.

“This company is simply the best. We hired Tal and Noy to do a complete home renovation on our house that had never been updated and was built in the 1950s. We worked with them from the very beginning when drawing out our floor plans for the project. Before we even paid them, they were so willing to help us and they really wanted us to have our dream home. Our house was a huge project to take on. Everything was completely gutted. In addition to having new flooring, drywall, paint, completely new bathrooms, completely new kitchen, completely new master suite, etc, we took down walls to give the house an open concept and there was so much work involved. We had done our research and received multiple quotes from countless other companies for the job, but Tal and Noy were the only ones we felt we could trust. They lived up to our expectations. If they say they are going to do something, they'll do it. I literally would call or text them every day, even late at night, asking for design advice and what they recommend, and they would always get back to me immediately. It is intimidating and overwhelming picking out materials for a home renovation that you know will be there permanently, and they helped me every step of the way. They go the extra mile for their clients. Whether they met up with us at the tile store to help us pick materials, or brought material samples to our house, they were always available to help us create our dream home. Their taste in design is impeccable. Thanks to Tal and Noy, my home is now so modern and beautiful. I am a tough critic and person who is hard to please, and can confidently say that I could not have asked for a better company to remodel my house. I cannot thank Tal and Noy enough for helping us building our dream home.”

“Our house was built in the 1950s, and the kitchen hadn't been updated since. So, as you might imagine, it was time for a kitchen upgrade. We had heard horror stories from friends who had worked with various contractors and construction companies, so we prepared ourselves for the worst. Thankfully, only the best happened with T&N Remodeling whom we found through Yelp. In fact, besides the typical banging and hammering that come with a remodel, it was an amazing experience. When we met with Aiden for the first time, he explained the entire process from start to finish. He also had some ideas for our kitchen remodel that turned out to be perfect. He was professional, patient, and prompt, ready to answer any questions or concerns we had along the way. Throughout the entire job, Aiden communicated with us daily, telling us what they were working on, who was on their way over, and what the schedule would be for the following day. As with construction, and living through a pandemic, things occur that you can’t anticipate (e.g. window delays because of shipping). However, Aiden did a beautiful job of making sure that we knew exactly what was happening. It was clear how important it was for them to get us a working kitchen as fast as possible. For five straight weeks, the crew worked Monday through Saturday. We were incredibly impressed with the final results. As you can see from the pictures, the kitchen turned out absolutely beautiful. We are so happy with our new kitchen and can’t say enough good things about T&N Remodeling. Needless to say, we will be working with them again in the very near future on other home improvement projects. Thank you Aiden and T&N Remodeling!! You are the best!!!”
