Repair Services

At Chris Mejia Builder, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing the damage that threatens your home's safety, value, and comfort. From structural damage and water intrusion to termite and dry rot remediation, fire damage recovery, and code-compliance upgrades, our team handles every phase of restoration with precision and care.

San Diego's coastal climate brings unique challenges — salt air corrosion, moisture intrusion, and aging materials that deteriorate faster near the coast. With over 30 years of experience diagnosing and fixing these problems across San Diego County, we don't just patch symptoms. We identify the root cause, develop a comprehensive repair plan, and restore your home to better than before.

Our Repair
Process

Every repair starts with a thorough assessment. We identify the root cause of the damage — not just the visible symptoms — so we can develop a repair plan that prevents the problem from coming back. Our team inspects structural integrity, moisture levels, and material condition to build a complete picture of what needs to be addressed.

From there, we create a detailed scope of work and timeline. If insurance is involved, we coordinate directly with your carrier to streamline the claims process. Reconstruction is performed to current building codes, and every project concludes with a final inspection to ensure lasting quality and full compliance.

Common Questions

Repair & Restoration FAQ

How much do structural repairs cost in San Diego?

Structural repair costs in San Diego typically range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the extent of the damage, accessibility, and whether foundation work is required. We provide free on-site assessments with detailed written estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes. We regularly coordinate with homeowners' insurance companies on damage claims. We provide detailed documentation, scope-of-work reports, and work directly with adjusters to help streamline the claims process for our clients.

How do I know if I have dry rot?

Common signs of dry rot include soft or spongy wood, discoloration or darkening of wood surfaces, a musty smell, and paint that is cracking or peeling. If you suspect dry rot, we offer free assessments to determine the extent of the damage and recommend the best course of action.

How long does water damage restoration take?

Water damage restoration typically takes 1 to 4 weeks depending on the severity of the damage, the size of the affected area, and the extent of reconstruction needed. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.

Do you handle permits for repair work?

Yes. We manage all permit applications, plan reviews, and city or county inspections as part of our full-service repair and restoration work. All permits and inspections are included — you won't need to deal with the city directly.
