Can Anyone Recommend Contractors In San Diego
Can anyone recommend any contractors in San Diego (especially keen on North Park, South Park, Normal Heights)? Keen on good rates, professional attitude, quality work and quick turnaround time.

I trust Broaddus Construction but I would not rate them great at each of you criteria:
- Good rates: B+
- Professional Attitude: B
- Quality work: B+ (Most things A but a few things C)
- Quick turnaround: D+ (typically it is him and one helper doing the work and he prefers to not work long days)
My own criteria: Trustworthy: A+.
I have used him quite a bit in both my rentals and my own home. He does great tiling but price is a little higher than others specializing in tiling and he is much slower. He has built a patio structure (great work), installed diving board (great work), turned 2 half bathrooms into full bathrooms (great work), framed to have sliders where there were windows previously (good framing, mediocre finishing), fixed window contractor's poor finishing job (great work), 3 complete bathroom remodels including installing jacuzzi tub (great work), fixed car port structure (great work), extended a chimney great work), replace roof on a patio (great work), repairs from giant tree fall (good work). He has done two complete unit rehabs (these were 2/1.5 each but converted to 2/1.75 each after the rehab: complete guts including in one of them much of the drywall) for me and they both took longer than I would have anticipated but good/great work. I am sure I am missing many of the projects he has done for me.
If speed is a high criteria than I would likely look elsewhere.
