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.

Common questions
How much do new countertops cost in El Cajon?+
Most countertop jobs in El Cajon run $3,000 to $10,000 installed. Quartz is the most popular pick at $60 to $120 per sq ft installed.
How long from quote to install?+
Usually 1 to 2 weeks. We template the day cabinets are set, the fabricator cuts the slab over 5 to 7 business days, and we install. Some unusual stones can take 2 to 3 weeks.
Quartz vs granite vs marble — which is best?+
Quartz for kitchens you use hard — non-porous, no sealing. Granite if you want a natural stone that handles heat. Marble for showpiece spaces and bathroom vanities — it stains, so it is not the best for everyday cooking.
Can you replace just the countertop without redoing the cabinets?+
Yes. We do counter-only swaps all the time. We disconnect the sink and faucet, remove the old top, set the new one, and re-plumb. Most counter-only jobs are done in 1 to 2 days at the install.
Where do you source slabs for El Cajon projects?+
For El Cajon jobs, we pull from MSI, Daltile, and the local fabricator yards in Otay Mesa and Kearny Mesa. You can come pick your slab in person — it is the best way to get a piece you love.
