What we build
Three kinds of work, and the experience behind each.
Not a list of everything a general license technically permits. Just the work this company is actually set up to do well.
Drag the handle
What a gut renovation actually changes.
Most of a remodel is invisible by the time it is finished. Pull the divider across and you are looking at the same room at the two stages you will actually live through: everything out, and everything back.
Week 1. Demo, then rough plumbing and framing while the walls are open.
Week 2. Waterproofing, hot mop and tile work.
Weeks 2–3. Plumbing fixtures, grout and final touches.
Why homeowners build with us
A single point of contact.
High-end investments require seamless communication. We reject the standard industry practice of rotating field staff through your property. By maintaining a single point of contact from pre-construction to delivery, we ensure your design intent, budget parameters, and structural expectations are perfectly preserved.
Dane personally engineers your scope, manages compliance, coordinates the logistics, and performs the site quality inspections. Because there are zero middle managers or automated voicemails, the person who stands behind the contract is the same person answering your calls.
Instead of relying on a generalized crew to perform highly complex builds, your project is executed by verified, licensed specialists. From master plumbers and electricians to custom finish carpenters, every phase of your ADU or premium remodel is built by a dedicated master of that specific trade.
A $350k ADU or premium structural remodel leaves no room for guessing. Leveraging extensive forensic scoping experience, Dane identifies architectural vulnerabilities, grading challenges, and utility constraints before breaking ground, ensuring your plans align with reality.
Our unblemished 5-star reputation is built on upfront honesty. If your architectural desires do not align with your structural budget parameters, you will hear it clearly on day one. We engineer bulletproof, fixed-scope bids up front so you never have to worry about surprise change orders.
An established track record. A dedicated coastal standard.

Reviews for Dane at Honor Construction
A 5.0 rating across 13 reviews. Not one below five stars.
These reviews were left for Dane Ziperski on Honor Construction’s Yelp page, where he ran these projects as senior project manager. They are not reviews of San Diego Coastal Builder, which he founded in 2026 after earning his own general contractor license.
- Time-critical repair
“Dane and his team helped us with a time critical project and got us back up and running quickly. Communication, quality, and pricing was fantastic! Service was top-notch and I would definitely work with Dane and his team again! Thank you!!”

Where we work
All of San Diego County, with the coast at the center of it.
Each community has its own permitting path and its own housing stock. A Del Mar project and a Clairemont project are not the same job with a different address. These six have pages of their own; the service area is the whole county.
- La Jolla Coastal San Diego
- Del Mar Coastal North County
- Encinitas Coastal North County
- Carlsbad Coastal North County
- Point Loma Coastal San Diego
- Bay Park & Clairemont Central San Diego
Not on the list? We work across all of San Diego County, from Oceanside down to the south bay and inland. Send the address and we will tell you straight away.
Common questions
Before you call.
Are you licensed?
Yes. San Diego Coastal Builder holds a CSLB General B general building contractor license, issued to owner Dane Ziperski. The license number is listed in the footer of this site and can be verified directly on the CSLB website.
Who will actually be running my project?
Dane Ziperski, the owner. He is your single point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final walkthrough. He writes the scope, coordinates the trades, and inspects the work himself. You will not be handed off to a project manager you have never met.
Do you self-perform the work or use subcontractors?
The trades are subcontracted to a network of electricians, plumbers, concrete, drywall, paint, cabinet, and flooring crews we have worked with for years. That is deliberate: you get specialists on each phase instead of a general crew doing everything at an average level, and one person accountable for all of it.
What areas do you serve?
All of San Diego County, with a focus on the coastal communities of La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Point Loma, plus the central neighborhoods around Bay Park and Clairemont.
How do I get an estimate?
Send a message through the contact page or an email. Dane replies personally, usually within a couple of hours the same day. If the project is a fit, he comes out for a free site visit, takes measurements and photographs, and tells you what is realistic, including when the project you have in mind is not the right one. You then get a written scope, line by line, so you can compare it honestly against any other bid.
Is the site visit free?
Yes. The visit costs nothing and there is no pitch. Plenty of these conversations end with someone deciding to wait a year or do a smaller version, and nobody is going to chase you afterwards. Your number does not get passed to anyone else.
Where is San Diego Coastal Builder based?
Bay Park, in the City of San Diego. It is a service-area business: the work happens at your property, and there is no showroom or public office. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 7:00am to 6:00pm.
The whole pitch, in one line
If your budget does not match your plan, you will hear that on the first visit, not in week three.
