Why San Ysidro homeowners choose 5 IN 1 for home additions
Home Additions in 5 San Ysidro neighborhoods
San Ysidro sits right against the US-Mexico border crossing — the busiest land port in the western hemisphere. The neighborhood has a mix of 1940s-60s small-lot homes, 1970s tract builds, and newer condo developments. Homes here are typically smaller (900 to 1,800 sq ft) and we focus on space-saving remodels: open-plan kitchens, walk-in showers in small footprints, and storage-maximizing cabinets. Permits go through City of San Diego Development Services.
We have remodeled San Ysidro 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.
