Because Excellence Matters.

Employing time-tested principles and practices, Steigerwald-Dougherty Inc. has grown to become the oft-recommended Custom Home Builder here in San Diego. With hundreds of clients and well over a thousand projects over our 40+ yrs in business, we’ve worked toward the goal of doing the best job for the best value, treating others as we ourselves would want to be treated. We understand that your home isn’t simply ‘a house’, it’s an important place for you and your family to feel safe and secure, a retreat from the busyness of everyday life. It’s important to us that everyone who works on your home does so with excellence, applying our years of experience diligently as we perform our specific disciplines. Whether it be digging a ditch, hanging a door, or overseeing the installation of your whole-house ‘smart home’ it’s important to us to do so with excellence.

Our well-vetted and experienced team of professional tradesman and sub-contractors bring to bear years of valuable experience and training. We build generationally. It’s not our intention to only work for our clients one time, but to be available as a resource to them for as long as they like. We have enjoyed the privilege of working for many of the same families for over 40 years and continue to add to that tradition today. The future belongs to those who plan, we hope you’ll allow us the honor of serving you as we all build toward a better tomorrow for all of our children and grandchildren!
