Your Questions, Answered

  • Honestly, we are not in the same category. Our background is in high-end residential construction and our pricing reflects that. What we bring to every repair is the thought process of a building firm. We are not just fixing what is in front of us, we are considering the longevity of the work, how it affects other systems in your home, your quality of life, and what your property will need in the future. A lot of the work we take on is beyond what a handyman can competently handle. We are the right fit for homeowners who want contractor-grade results, a single point of contact who understands the full picture of their property, and work that is done right the first time without having to revisit it.

  • Yes. A significant part of our work is caring for seasonal and secondary residences on the Monterey Peninsula. We offer regular property check-ins, pre-arrival preparation, storm monitoring, and ongoing maintenance so your Carmel or Pebble Beach home is secure and well-maintained whether you are there or not.

  • We serve the Monterey Peninsula and surrounding communities including Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, Monterey, and Big Sur. We work with homeowners throughout the region including those based in the San Francisco Bay Area managing properties remotely.

  • What services does Ceja Construction Consulting offer? Ceja Construction Consulting provides home repair, ongoing property maintenance, vacation home management, refurbishment, renovation oversight, and independent construction consulting for homeowners throughout Carmel, Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley, and the Monterey Peninsula. We bring custom builder expertise to every project regardless of size.

  • We offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.

  • Yes. For projects that require permits and licensed contractor involvement, we coordinate with trusted licensed partners on the Monterey Peninsula. We manage that relationship on your behalf so you have a single point of contact regardless of the scope of work.

  • Yes. We use no-poison exclusion methods for rodent prevention and remediation, safe for homes with pets, children, and the surrounding coastal and hillside wildlife. This is particularly important for seasonal properties that sit unoccupied for extended periods. We inspect entry points, seal vulnerabilities, and set up ongoing monitoring so the problem is solved at the source rather than managed with bait that creates its own risks.

  • It depends on the scope, but if you're dealing with anything beyond a simple fix — structural elements, multiple trades, permitted work, or a property you care deeply about — you want contractor-grade thinking behind it. A handyman works on what's in front of them. We consider how the work affects every other system in your home, its long-term durability, and what your property will need down the road. For high-end homes on the Monterey Peninsula, that distinction matters.

  • Every project is different, and on the Monterey Peninsula that's especially true. Coastal conditions, older construction, and the standards of high-end homes all affect scope and cost. We don't believe in ballpark figures that set the wrong expectations. After an initial conversation we provide a transparent, itemized quote with no hidden costs. Call us at 831.206.3762 to talk through your project.

  • Coastal storms hit hard on the Monterey Peninsula. Wind, rain, debris, and power issues can all cause real damage to a property sitting empty. We monitor conditions, conduct post-storm walkthroughs, document any damage, and coordinate repairs immediately so issues don't compound. For second-home owners who aren't local, this kind of proactive care is the difference between a minor fix and a major problem discovered months later.
