General Contractor Services in San Diego
When you need a reliable, licensed general contractor in San Diego for your outdoor living project, RKC Construction brings over two decades of expertise to every job. As a full-service general contractor specializing in patio covers, pergolas, sunrooms, and outdoor construction, we manage your project from initial design through final inspection. Our comprehensive approach eliminates the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors while ensuring your project is completed on time, within budget, and exceeds your expectations.
Licensed General Contractor for Outdoor Living Projects
RKC Construction holds California General Contractor License #841086, demonstrating our commitment to professionalism and adherence to state regulations. This licensing, combined with our comprehensive insurance coverage and bonding, provides you with complete protection throughout your project.
As your general contractor, we serve as the single point of contact for all aspects of your outdoor construction project. This means you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors, coordinate schedules, or worry about who’s responsible when issues arise. We handle initial design and planning, permit applications, material procurement, subcontractor management when specialized trades are needed, quality control, timeline management, and final inspections.
Our general contracting services are particularly valuable for complex projects that involve multiple trades. For instance, if you’re adding a sunroom that requires electrical work, HVAC modifications, and concrete work, we coordinate all these elements seamlessly. This integrated approach typically saves 15-20% compared to hiring contractors separately, while reducing project timeline by 30%.
Complete Construction Services for Your Home
Our general contracting capabilities extend across a wide range of outdoor and home improvement projects. While we specialize in aluminum patio covers and outdoor structures, our expertise encompasses structural construction including patio covers, pergolas, sunrooms, room additions, carports, decks, and outdoor kitchens.
We also handle site improvements such as concrete work, landscape lighting, drainage solutions, retaining walls, and driveway extensions. Home upgrades including window and door replacement, siding installation, and stucco work are within our capabilities.
This comprehensive service offering means we can transform your entire outdoor space without you having to find and vet multiple contractors. Whether you’re updating a small patio in Point Loma or creating an elaborate outdoor living area in Rancho Santa Fe, we have the skills and resources to deliver exceptional results.
From Design to Permits to Final Installation
The journey from concept to completion requires careful planning and execution. Our systematic approach ensures nothing is overlooked.
We begin with a thorough consultation at your property, listening to your ideas, assessing your space, and discussing budget parameters. Our design team then creates detailed plans that bring your vision to life.
San Diego County has complex permitting requirements that vary by location and project scope. As your general contractor, we navigate this bureaucracy for you, preparing professional drawings and working directly with building departments.
Once permits are secured, we develop a detailed project schedule. Our project managers supervise daily work, ensuring quality standards are met at every stage. As construction concludes, we conduct thorough quality checks before the official inspection.

Customer Testimonials
RKC Construction installed my beautiful patio cover. They are very professional and respectful. I am glad I chose them. When I’m ready for turf, I’m calling RKC.
RKC Construction did an awesome job on our aluminum patio cover. The crew was professional, fast, and the quality is top-notch. Our backyard looks great and we use the space all the time now. Highly recommend them!
Very professional and reliable company, paying attention to quality of their work.
I recently used RKC Construction for a pergola installation. Rick was my initial contact, very easy to talk to. On the day of installation, Justin checked with me before the team started and several times along the way to make sure placement was where I wanted it to be. Excellent, friendly, efficient thorough purchasing and installation process. I’m so happy to have used this company. Thank you RKC team. I highly recommend this company.
I had a beautiful patio cover done with RKC Construction. They are very professional and easy to work with. I am very happy with my decision to go with RKC Construction Inc.
My experience with RKC was great! Installed my Metal Awning quickly and at a fair price. Delivered on everything they said they would, would hire again.
We hired RKC to do an overhang for us. Half solid and half lattice. The consult went amazing. Then things got weird. The final Measurement was scheduled and a guy named Bernie came out. He changed the footprint of the whole thing which we went with because he said the way the sales person wrote it up, would not work. We tried to schedule multiple times but get no call back. The office continues to say someone will call us. I call the owner of the company and he reassures me everything is fine and it’s just a communication issue. His cousin Mike then sends me an email that materials are ordered and the job will start in a few days once materials arrive. No joke, a week and a half later we are told the color we want doesn’t come in the ceiling piece. We change it so it will work. Mike then pushes us off for another week and a half by saying materials are to be here Tuesday, then Thursday then says the following Tuesday. Then crickets. It’s now a week past the I stallion date of 6 weeks that we were given. They have half of the payment and things have changed 3 times. Fast forward to the Installation. The guy calls me and sends me a pic of where in the yard it will go out to. Whoa! Things are very wrong and thank god he called. They ordered a 12ft piece that should have been 7ft. So now the poor guy has to cut everything down to readjust the footprint. I also had to pay for almost double of the materials instead of the correct measurements. There are TOO MANY cooks in the kitchen. The I stalker doesn’t know who measured for us and says it makes no sense. (Which is what we thought) Thank god the installer was so good at his job because this whole project is a mess. I have never had any company be so unresponsive to a 11 thousand dollar job. I have also never encountered such an unprofessional person like Mike. He single-handedly made us want to cancel this whole project. If it were simplified to Rick, the I stalker and the sales person, this company would go far. Unfortunately I can not recommend them. The work is great but the process was awful. I wish they would have offered some of our money back when we paid for twice the amount of material that we didn’t need.
I had RKC do a new patio and patio cover 17X53 ft. Part solid and part lattice. It was a very rocky start but the patio cover turned out beautifully. Once the patio installation started it was very quick, just a few days.
I decided to have RKC build a sunroom in my backyard after having five estimations. James did excellent presentation and won the business. He is thoughtful, patient, helpful and reasonable to make our agreement done. Although it toke three months to fully finalize the room, all steps were well done, including design, permits to installation of whole room. All workers, from front office to owner Rick are highly responsible and handling all my questions in a timely manner. Electrician Mike, constructor Tim and roofer Eric all are professional and put customer satisfaction first. I appreciate everyone’s hard and honest work and highly recommend RKC in local construction business.
I recently used RKC Construction for a full renovation on my home and the results exceeded my expectations! The team was professional and highly experienced, and the communication was smooth and clear. From start to finish, the timeline was on-point and the finished product was incredible. Working with RKC Construction felt like a breeze and it was obvious why they have such a stellar reputation in the industry. I would highly recommend them for any home remodeling project.
Great company and would highly recommend them. They just did two patio covers at my house. Dante and Rob did a great job installing the patio covers! They came two days, cleaned up each day and very friendly. Before during and after my project each person on their team was nothing but great with communication and professionalism. So happy I picked this company to get the job done. Great job RKC and thank you!
After working with them I can see why they received so many positive reviews. We hired the company to install a patio cover. We interacted with 6 people from the company. All were professional and detail oriented. There were companies with good reviews that would not take on the project due to size restrictions. RKC installed the patio cover in about 5 hours.
We had RKC construction upgrade our windows in our home to vinyl energy efficient windows. They also did a new entry door which came out beautiful. The work was on time and very professional. Thank you Rick for the great price and quality work. We are very happy and love our new windows and entry door.
Awesome 👏 Awesome !! We worked with Mike M., who designed for us a gorgeous enclosed patio cover with skylights and open slats on each end to brighten up the area while keeping it dry! It was so beautiful we ended up with a second pergola in our front yard!! Amazing and everyone who comes to see our home comments on how beautiful it is! Electric panels too!! Highly recommend RKC! Mike M is fabulous at getting the best pricing and designs!!! Worth every penny!!!
