“We build every home the way we’d want our own family’s home built.”
A family business, building for families.
Best Rate Builders is a family-owned and operated design-build company based in San Diego. We design, permit and build homes for the families who live in them — and we take that personally.
Our work covers the full life of a home. We build custom homes from the ground up, on infill lots, tear-down rebuilds and hillside sites. We design and build backyard ADUs that make room for aging parents, grown kids, or a little extra income. And we remodel the kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces that make a house finally work for the people in it — from a single room to a whole-home renovation or second-story addition.
What ties it all together is how we work. We bring design and construction together under one team, so your plans are priced while they’re drawn, your permits are handled by people who know San Diego’s agencies, and the people who planned your project are the same people who build it. No hand-offs, no finger-pointing, and no surprises we could have told you about up front.
Being family owned and operated isn’t a tagline for us — it’s how the company runs every day. When you call Best Rate Builders, you reach Jose, the owner, and the family who answer for the work. Our name goes on every job, and we hold ourselves to the standard we’d expect if we were the homeowner: honest budgets, clear schedules, clean job sites and craftsmanship that lasts long after the final inspection.
We’re licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (License #1058820), and we work throughout San Diego County — from the beach communities to North County, East County and the South Bay. Whether you’re standing on an empty lot, looking at your backyard, or ready to rethink the house you already love, we’d be glad to help you build what comes next.
From an empty lot to keys in hand.
A 33-second look at what we do — new homes, ADUs and remodels — told the way we’d tell it to you in person.
What that means for you.
When you hire a family business, you’re not handed off between departments. You get people who care how the job turns out — because it’s their name, too.
You know who you’re working with
Direct access to the people who run the company — from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
Accountability that stays put
The same family stands behind the design, the permits, the build and the warranty.
Neighbors building for neighbors
We live and work in San Diego. We build the way we want our own community to look.
Relationships, not transactions
We want to be the builder you call for the next project — and the one you recommend to family.
From an empty lot to the kitchen of your dreams.
Three kinds of projects, one design-build team carrying each one from first sketch to final key.
The way a family should build.
