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.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in El Cajon?+

Do you help with the design?+
Yes. We walk through layout options on the first estimate visit and pull samples for cabinets, countertops, and tile. For complex remodels we bring in a designer for cabinet layouts at no extra cost.
What kitchen styles work best in El Cajon homes?+
In El Cajon, the most common kitchen remodel is opening up the original galley layout into the dining/living area. White shaker with quartz is the popular choice. We also do a lot of warm-wood transitional kitchens that fit the ranch architecture better than ultra-modern slab cabinets.
