About

Tom Armstrong started Armstrong Builders in 1983 out of his Pacific Beach home, and the company has operated from 755 Turquoise St, 92109, ever since, delivering custom homes, condos, townhomes, and remodels throughout coastal San Diego. The firm holds two active CSLB licenses—#929996 and #827228—both classified under General Building, and keeps a licensed architect on staff for in-house design-build projects from concept through permitting and construction. Tom combines builder expertise with architectural design ability, including a 1932 Mission Beach cottage restoration that required navigating coastal view-corridor permits, non-conforming setback variances, and historical-character preservation while converting the structure for modern use. PB homeowners planning a complete addition sometimes pair Armstrong’s structural work with custom iron fabrication from Gentry Custom Ironworks Inc nearby. The company’s City of San Diego permit history includes multi-story townhome developments, second-story additions, garage-to-living-space conversions, and full-property remodels across Pacific Beach, La Jolla, and Tierrasanta. Armstrong’s design-build model means the architect and the construction crew work under one contract, eliminating the miscommunication and cost overruns that plague projects split between separate design and build firms. Many crew members have been with the company since its founding, keeping craftsmanship standards consistent across kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, ADU construction, and multi-unit developments. Homeowners coordinating both structure and landscape can pair Armstrong’s construction with design from Neri Landscape Architecture for a unified result. The firm serves La Jolla, Coronado, Del Mar, Mission Hills, Poway, and communities throughout San Diego County. ADU projects, new-home construction, and commercial renovations are all within scope.
