Good Contractor for small project, San Diego, CA

[Sean H.]

Hi there, 

I am trying to help my sister with her condo in Pacific Beach, CA. She (unfortunately) purchased this condo at the peak of the market (12/2006), and is now trying to sell.  She is trying to limit her losses as much as possible, and under my advice, has decided to update the kitchen/1st floor bathroom. The space is 1264 sq ft, 2 bed/2.5 bath. Not a big job but she is essentially trying to reduce her loss while improving the space, with as little investment as possible. 

She has spoken with one contractor, and their bid from my experience is much too high. I have experience in renovations in the inland empire, and the price quoted was not even in the same ballpark. We are trying to get two separate bids: 1) to move the refrigerator from the close wall and put it where the pantry is currently, and open up the pass through window up to the ducting and as wide as possible. 2) update the counter tops in the kitchen and bathroom with granite, new fixtures.

Attached is a picture. If you guys have experience with any fair contractors looking for some extra work, I would greatly appreciate it. My contacts are mostly in the IE, and the cost would not justify them to come down to San Diego. Personal Reference is always the best way to find quality people in my experience, so I'm hoping this will be fruitful. Feel free to post here or message me privately. Again thank you so much!
