Since 2004

Built on San Diego, Built to Last

Eco Home Builders was founded in 2004 by Carlos Reyes, a journeyman carpenter who spent his first decade working for large development firms and grew frustrated watching quality give way to volume. He started Eco Home Builders with a single crew and a straightforward promise: every project would be built the way he would build his own home. Twenty-plus years later, that standard has not changed.

We are a San Diego-based general contracting firm specializing in full-scope residential remodeling, permitted home additions, and new single-family construction. Our clients rate us 4.8 stars across 99 Google reviews, and the majority of new projects come through referrals from homeowners who have worked with us before. We serve neighborhoods from Hillcrest and North Park to Chula Vista, El Cajon, and Santee.

Eco Home Builders construction team San Diego
Established 2004

"I started this company because I believed San Diego homeowners deserved a contractor who showed up on time, built to code, and treated their house with the same care they did. That belief is still the only business plan we have ever needed."

What We Stand For

Our Values

These are not marketing statements. They are the decisions we make every day on job sites across San Diego.

Craftsmanship First

We do not rush work to pad margins. If a joint needs to be redone, we redo it. If a tile is off by a hair, we pull it. The finished product has to hold up to scrutiny, because San Diego homeowners know what quality looks like.

Full Transparency

You see every line item in your quote before signing. Scope changes are documented in writing with a cost impact before any additional work begins. There are no buried fees and no verbal agreements that get forgotten on billing day.

Code Compliance Always

We pull every permit the job requires. We schedule every required inspection. Unpermitted work creates real problems for homeowners at resale and with insurance. We will not do it, and we will tell you plainly if another contractor's shortcut is going to cost you later.
