How It Started
Doing Things the Right Way Since 1997
Mike Schneemann didn't grow up planning to be a contractor.
In 1990, he bought his first house in Chula Vista — and didn't own a single tool. But he had a neighbor across the street who was a contractor, and that neighbor changed everything.
"He showed me how to sweat a pipe, how to install a valve. Just a few things. And from there, I remodeled my bathroom."
Then his kitchen. Then the entire interior of the house. He built a deck. Put in doors. Replaced all the plumbing under the foundation — replacing cast iron the old-fashioned way, before YouTube existed, before you could look anything up. Just a willing student, a knowledgeable neighbor, and a deep desire to learn.
By the time he was done, he had a set of tools, a hard-earned skillset, and a new direction.
Mike had been running a restoration company at the time — flood, fire, and water damage work. That background gave him something most remodelers never develop: an eye for what's behind the walls. An obsession with getting the details right. He started folding construction into his restoration jobs. Then he got his contractor's license in 1997. Then his general contractor's license a couple years after that. By 2006, he'd walked away from insurance restoration entirely — straight construction only.
That was nearly 30 years ago.
Since then, Mike has built San Diego Remodeling Pros into one of San Diego County's most trusted remodeling companies — entirely on referrals. No cold calls. No ad spend. Just homeowners telling other homeowners.
When asked what's kept him going all these years, his answer is straightforward:
"I care about making people happy at the end of the job. Once I stop caring, it's time to get out."
That's the standard he holds every project to. And it's why, even when a job is winding down and the money's mostly settled, Mike is still the one pushing to get the punch list done — so you can move in, look around, and know you made the right choice.
Born and raised in San Diego. Still building here.

How We Work
A Well-Informed Client Is a Happy Client
We believe the remodeling process should feel as good as the finished product. That means no surprises, no silence mid-project, and no last-minute changes you didn't agree to.
From the first consultation through final walkthrough, we keep you informed, involved, and confident. We set clear expectations upfront, communicate proactively when anything changes, and treat your home with the same respect we'd expect for our own.
That's not a promise we make lightly. It's the standard we've held ourselves to since 1997 — and it's why so many of our clients come back for their next project without ever getting another bid.
