A builder you can actually trust.
Reliable Builders exists to be the contractor homeowners wish they’d found the first time — honest, communicative, and genuinely good at the work.
20 years in the trade — and still hands-on.
Michael Solomon has spent two decades building and remodeling homes across San Diego — whole-home renovations, new builds, ADUs, kitchens, and baths. He started Reliable Builders to do the work the way he always believed it should be done: with honesty, craftsmanship, and real relationships.
For Michael, this isn’t just a business — it’s how he provides for his family and builds something worth putting his name on. That’s why he treats every client like a friend and every project like it’s his own home. Do it right, tell the truth, and the referrals take care of the rest.
He still does the tile and stone work personally, still answers the phone, and still walks every project at the end to make sure it’s something you’re proud of.
Four rules we don’t break.
Educate first
We explain the how and the why so you can make confident decisions — not decisions made under pressure.
Tell the truth
If something isn’t worth the money, we’ll say so, even when the honest answer means a smaller job for us.
Respect the budget
Your number is the number. We help you get the most out of it instead of quietly steering you past it.
Build it to last
The right way costs a little more time and care. We spend it, because we want to be proud of it years from now.
