Trade partners
We’re a design-build remodeling contractor in San Diego County, and we work with licensed specialty contractors on our jobs. If you run a trade business and would like us to consider you for future work, here is what we expect on site and how to apply.
The work
We design and build residential remodels: kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, ADUs and additions, patio covers and sunrooms.
Our jobs are across San Diego County, most often in Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Poway and North County. We hold California CSLB license #1078564, Class B General Building Contractor, and we pull the permits and schedule the inspections on our jobs.
Each job has one Seven project manager who runs it and schedules the trades. That person is your contact for the scope, the schedule and access to the house. Before you start, we agree the scope and the price for your part of the work in writing.
What we expect on our jobs
We work in people’s homes. These are the standards we ask every trade on our jobs to meet.
| Workmanship | Work to code, to the manufacturer’s installation instructions and to the plans and selections for the job. If something on site doesn’t match the plans, ask the project manager before you build around it. |
|---|---|
| Communication | Answer the project manager’s calls and texts, and tell us early when something will change your start date, your finish date or the scope. |
| Scheduling | Show up on the days you commit to. Other trades and inspections are booked around your dates, so give us as much notice as you can when something changes. |
| Protecting the home | Protect floors, finished surfaces and anything else near your work, and keep the work area safe for everyone in the house. |
| Cleanup | Clean your work area at the end of each day and again when your part is done, so the next trade can start. |
| Fixing problems | If something in your work isn’t right, during the job, at the final walkthrough or while it’s under our 1-year workmanship warranty, come back and fix it promptly. |
| License and insurance | Keep your license active and your insurance current, and send us new certificates when they renew. |
