See what our clients are saying.

  • Joe W.

    We hired Chris for a major bath renovation on a limited timeline. He made sure the entire process, from demolition to the finishing touches, was done on time and worked closely with us as we completed other work we were doing in our home. He talked us through issues that arose during the work and made sure we were completely satisfied with the finished product. I would recommend Chris in a heartbeat.

  • Tony & Gayla E.

    My wife and I completed a major remodel of our La Jolla shores beach home with Trafficanda Design/Build. We interviewed several highly recommended/experienced contractors and chose Chris when the list was whittled down to two. We chose Chris because he was very attentive during the bid proposal and estimating phase of the project and because of the glowing reviews from other clients in La Jolla. Chris took personal responsibility for all aspects of the work from his team; managing their timeliness and ensuring they stayed on track. Chris also collaborated well with our designer and suppliers of products we purchased on our own. When an issue or a problem arose; Chris always had a solution and/or options for us to consider. Chris follows tried and true project management principles: defining the scope of work, managing the Tasks (resources) and mitigating or eliminating Risks. We stayed on track, and on budget thanks to Chris’ diligence. We certainly recommend him for any size project and invite you to see our beautiful home any time.

  • Joel T.

    “Chris, thank you so much for the incredible job you did on our house in adding the walls, sliding door, and shutter window for our office loft!! The work you did was incredible, on time, and on budget! I would highly recommend you to anyone and look forward to working with you again on our next project. You have done so much to make this house exactly how I envisioned it. Thank you!!”

  • Brett B. & Johana H.

    “Chris Trafficanda is an excellent contractor with a select network of specialist contractors he knows and uses who do wonderful work! He and his group of guys helped with both a kitchen and bath remodel and everything came out well and to our liking as we are “attention to detail” minded customers. We have also referred him to many friends and neighbors or anyone who has asked who is looking for a class act contractor! Thanks Chris!”

  • John & Jan R.

    “At first the thought of building a substantial casita on our property was daunting – there were so many variables to consider – but it all quickly felt manageable when Chris took charge. We loved the peace of mind knowing that while the project would take time and unforeseen complications might arise, it would all turn out well because Chris had assumed responsibility for the finished project. Sure enough, we were delighted with the results, and the living space transformed our family’s enjoyment of our property.”

  • Larry & Kate H.

    Description goesThere are only 2 key aspects we really care about. [1] The End Product...is the client delighted with the result..? Yes. [2] The process itself....was it smooth throughout....or did the client feel as though you were pulling the "...first-time low-cost start-up GC..." across the finish line..? Smooth. Why do we say that....4 simple reasons

    1] Project finished on Time.

    2] Communication consistent and clean throughout...; if there is any snag...you call Chris... RIGHT AWAY.

    3] Excellent communication between GC and his Subs..; no misdirection & or cross signals...ever lingering.....;...it STOPS with Chris.

    4] Change Orders (COs) are under complete control. COs ....are often part of any sizable Project. Accounting of COs is tight...and communication is tight. Who is doing what...and WHEN...?

    Done ....Pop the Cork..

  • Matt M.

    “We were so fortunate to have you as our contractor and advocate during such a hectic time. You really went above and beyond to make us feel valued, respected, and safe while navigating Covid with a high-risk pregnant wife. Everything we discussed at our first sit down went pretty much exactly like you said, including all the ups, downs, emotions and construction challenges. Jill and I will always be grateful for your patience, professionalism, and kindness to our family. Thank you, Chris!”
