About

American Construction in College Area, San Diego, is a multi-trade general contractor at 6250 El Cajon Blvd, Suite 209, 92115, holding CSLB License #1028305 with classifications covering general building, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and sewer work. The company was licensed on June 26, 2017, and holds BBB accreditation since October 2017, with qualifying partner Jesse Colan Driessel managing the CSLB License #1028305 alongside co-owners Gabriel Mejia, Daniel Chavez, and Mark David Alexander. The multi-classification structure means the firm can self-perform plumbing renovation, HVAC installation, electrical rough-in, and sewer-line repair under a single contract, eliminating the multi-vendor coordination that a B-only general contractor would require on a whole-house remodel. HVAC scope covers split-system and central-air installation, duct replacement, and thermostat wiring — the mechanical-system upgrades that Comfort Air Conditioning & Heating in Allied Gardens also handles as a standalone specialty across the eastern San Diego corridor. Plumbing renovation is the lead specialty — re-piping galvanized-to-copper or copper-to-PEX conversions, water heater and tankless water heater installations, gas-line work, and drain-line replacement in the aging housing stock that lines El Cajon Blvd and the surrounding 92115 residential blocks. The El Cajon Blvd office is a mile east of the SDSU campus, in the commercial corridor where the apartment density and mid-century housing stock generate a steady volume of plumbing and mechanical renovation work. Sewer-line inspection and repair uses video-scope diagnostics to map root intrusion, bellied pipe, and offset joints in the clay and Orangeburg sewer laterals common in College Area's pre-1970 housing. Electrical work under CSLB License #1028305 includes panel upgrades from the 100-amp services typical of older San Diego homes to the 200-amp capacity required for modern HVAC loads, EV chargers, and kitchen-appliance circuits. Pre-construction termite clearances and wood-damage reports often precede the renovation scope, and Harbor Pest Control in Grantville provides the Section 1 and Section 2 termite inspections that lenders and buyers require before renovation financing closes. The four-owner partnership structure distributes project oversight across concurrent job sites, with Driessel holding the qualifying-individual designation that ties the license to the firm's active operations.
