Remodeling in La Mesa
La Mesa is home base for Greg Traver Construction — it's where the business is licensed and where Greg is closest to your job. Hillside lots, older homes and lots of mid-century houses that are ready for a second life.
La Mesa homes
A mix of 1920s–1940s cottages near the village, post-war ranch homes and hillside houses with retaining walls and drainage that's often an afterthought. Original bathrooms, closed-in kitchens and settling patios are common.
Permits in La Mesa
La Mesa is its own city, so permits go through the City of La Mesa — not San Diego. Structural changes, plumbing moves and new electrical circuits need a permit; Greg handles the application and inspections.

La Mesa questions

- La Mesa is home base, so small repairs and estimate visits are usually the easiest to schedule.
