Who We Are

Sheiner Construction is a licensed general contractor based in San Diego, California.

We design and build kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, home additions, ADUs and whole-home renovations across the greater San Diego area. Joseph Sheiner founded the company in 2012. Didi Sheiner, also a founder, works alongside Joseph on projects that involve interior design.

Our office is at 1080 Eighth Ave in downtown San Diego. That address appears on our CSLB license, our Google Business Profile and our contract paperwork.

Our Story

Sheiner Construction started in 2012 with a straightforward idea: do the work right, and the clients will come back.

I'm Joseph Sheiner. I started this company in San Diego because this is where I live, where I work, and where I planned to stay. A contractor rooted in a city behaves differently than one passing through it. Your neighbours know where to find us. Your local building department knows our permit history.

San Diego's housing stock runs from historic craftsman bungalows in Golden Hill to newer builds in Carlsbad. The permitting process shifts depending on whether you're in the City of San Diego, unincorporated San Diego County, or a separate municipality like El Cajon. The neighbourhoods look different, the codes read differently, and the plan check reviewers have different expectations.

We learned those distinctions by working through them — project by project, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, since 2012.


The Team

Every Sheiner Construction project is managed by the people who founded this company. If you call our office, you will reach our team — not an outsourced call centre or an answering service.

The specialty trade work — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing — is performed by licensed trade partners we coordinate on each project. Each one holds an individual California state license, verifiable through the same CSLB database that carries our own.

Credentials & Certifications

Sheiner Construction holds CSLB License #1083621 — active, bonded and insured.

A California Class B General Contractor license authorizes a contractor to manage projects involving two or more unrelated trades. That covers kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, room additions, ADU construction and whole-home renovations — the full range of what we do.

Our Google Business Profiles are verified across four greater San Diego locations: San Diego (main), Del Mar, Carlsbad and El Cajon. Each one is tied to the same licensed entity.

Go to the California Contractors State License Board's public lookup tool, enter the license number, and confirm the status, bonding and insurance on record. We encourage every San Diego homeowner to run this check before signing any construction contract — including ours.

Our Standards

Every project is built to the same standard, from $40,000 kitchens to $400,000 whole-home renovations. The CSLB license confirms minimum competency — what happens above that floor is a matter of process and consistency.

Permits first

We pull permits before work begins. Every project requiring review goes through the City of San Diego's DSD, San Diego County PDS, or the applicable municipal jurisdiction.

Licensed trade coordination

Every electrician, plumber, HVAC technician and framing specialist on a project holds a current California state license.

Documented scope

The contract includes an itemized scope of work. Changes are documented through a written change order before work proceeds.

Parcel-level code review

Before design drawings are produced, we verify the applicable zoning, setback and building code requirements for the specific parcel.

Inspection completion

Projects are not closed out until all required inspections are passed and the permit is finaled with the authority having jurisdiction.

One accountable contractor

Because we handle both design and construction, there is never a question of accountability between an architect and a builder.

Building codes and permit requirements are amended on a regular cycle. Confirm current requirements for your parcel with your local building department before relying on them for design decisions.
