Why El Cajon chooses 5 IN 1 Construction
El Cajon is East County — hotter, drier, and built largely in the 1950s through 1980s. The housing stock is heavy on ranch homes and single-story builds with shake or tile roofs and stucco exteriors. Costs typically run slightly below the coastal cities for labor and permit fees, which we pass through to the client.
We have been remodeling El Cajon homes since 1987. The Carrasco family runs every job site, the same in-house crew handles your project from rough-in to final walk, and we pull every permit in your name. No subcontractors, no surprise fees, and a one-year workmanship warranty.
