Where remodels usually go wrong
Most bad remodel stories start before demo day. Here are four common ones, and what we do instead.
Three bids, three different jobs
One leaves out the electrical, another skips permits. We write one scope, line by line, so you compare a real price.
The allowance that becomes a change order
A low number with a small allowance is a down payment on surprises. We price the real materials before you sign.
Nobody owns the schedule
When the plumber, tile setter and flooring crew point at each other, the job stalls. One licensed contractor runs it, and our flooring is in-house.
Living in a construction zone
We plan the order of work, and how you live around it, at the walkthrough.

What you get before you commit
Free
Walkthrough and written proposal
We visit, measure and put the scope and price in writing. You decide after.
100%
Design package credit
A fixed design package ($1,500 to $3,500) so nothing gets designed mid-construction. All of it comes off the build if you go ahead.
48 hrs
Cabinet render or ADU report
Kitchens get a photoreal render of the new cabinets. ADUs get a feasibility report for your lot. Both free.
Floors are in-house too
Tidal Flooring is our own C-15 flooring division, so the floor is planned with the remodel instead of after it. Drag the line on a refinish we did.

Ben and his incredible crew transformed my home by replacing my old wood floors with absolutely gorgeous new ones, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. They handled everything—carefully removing all of the furniture, taking out the old flooring, and installing the new floors with flawless precision. These are true perfectionists who clearly take pride in their work. What impressed me most was the care and respect they showed for my home. Once the project was complete, they replaced all of the furniture exactly as it had been, as if nothing had ever been moved. The process was efficient, stress-free, and remarkably easy. Ben and his team are honest, respectful, and completely trustworthy, and they are an absolute pleasure to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Swell Contracting, Inc. to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship and a smooth, professional experience.”Read the full review
“Our home floors are the most beautiful after working with Ben and his crew. Plus, these are nice amazing humans. COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY enough! It's like I have a new home now. Thank you Ben too for the patience in helping us select the right wood!”

From start to finish, the care and attention to detail were outstanding. The pre-construction process was seamless—they walked us through every step so we knew exactly what to expect. Throughout the installation, communication was excellent, with frequent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned home, the house was spotless and the floors looked absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Swell Contracting for anyone looking for exceptional workmanship and service.”Read the full review
“We were so happy with the work done by Swell. Wow! We had purchased a home with dark cherry wood. After years living there we needed a change.

On top of their great work, they are the nicest professionals. The entire crew was so nice. Thank you for all you guys have done!”Read the full review

In my opinion, the level of service that Swell Contracting Inc. extended to our family was far beyond our expectations. I have never written a letter like this on an entirely unsolicited basis. However, in this case I was so impressed by the support and service provided by Swell Contracting Inc. and its team of Flooring specialists. That I felt compelled to go on record with my praise. Swell Contracting Inc. truly deserves it. In an era where exceptional one-to-one communications and Flooring Service of excellence and have virtually disappeared from our construction industry. The work that Swell Contracting Inc. and its team did should be held up as an example for others to try to emulate. Very sincerely, Robert R. Tellez Mount Helix / La Mesa, CA 91941”Read the full review
