Merribuild 804 Pier View Way, Oceanside, CA 92054

"We had a wonderful experience working with the MerriBuild team from start to finish. Despite unfortunate rain/weather and city inspection delays, the project moved along, and we are thrilled with the quality and final results. We worked closely with Paul (owner) and Sean on all specs and design. Sean followed thru sourcing the lighting, appliances, custom doors and cabinetry to fit our taste and budget. One of the advantages of working with MerriBuild is the online platform (BuilderTrend) that they rely on for budget, change orders, invoicing, and calendar/progress. This made communication clear, open and transparent. We recommend MerriBuild highly and hope to work on another project in the near future!"

"Thanks for the great job building my ADU and remodeling my kitchen ."

"Sean was able to come the next day and not only fixed the broken item but improved on it. Highly recommend Sean. We will absolutely call Sean again."

"My wife and I have had about 12 different contracts over 5-6 years with Merribuild for work in our house and yard, and we have always been very satisfied with their work and their costs. They are honest, they have strong work ethics, they are meticulous and take great pride in their work, and they are very conscientious. They have come here to work on actual holidays without us asking them to do that, and without asking for extra pay for working on a holiday, which we found amazing. Most recently, Sean took on a challenging task which few have ever tried, much less, successfully accomplished: To take down a damaged 35 foot high backyard windmill! We most highly recommend Paul and Sean Merrick, and their company, Merribuild."

"My husband and I contracted with Merribuild (previously Paul Merrick Construction and later Reliable Renovations) for a series of small jobs inside the house and around the patio. Paul’s team did excellent work on all of these jobs. At various times over about six years, we have had two bathrooms completely renovated, a gazebo and pergola installed, new sliding glass patio doors, a heat/ac splitter unit installed, and other projects. We really liked the way that they worked with us on prioritizing the many jobs we wanted, and that they respected our choices and never tried to sell us anything. I appreciated that they were agreeable to a contract that left the painting and detail work to me, which saved some money and thus allowed us to get more projects completed. We also appreciated that Paul was very upfront about additional expenses when we wanted changes and additions to the original contracts. Merribuild is very honest and we completely trust them. When our large tortoises escaped their nighttime enclosure in the garage and wreaked havoc, Paul and his team came quickly to our aid. We needed a heated outdoor shed because our tortoises do not hibernate in winter. I was impressed that Paul did extensive research about how to create an appropriate environment that would keep the tortoises warm and dry, and would withstand the wear and tear that large tortoises would inevitably inflict on it. He even called the San Diego Zoo to ask what they use for their tortoises! I had never even thought of doing that. After they were finished with the build, we insulated the interior, and put in heat lamps to augment the tortoise-proof floor heaters that Merribuild had installed. Our tortoises have been very comfortable in their warm, cozy shed during cold winter nights and rainy seasons. If anyone needs a tortoise shed, these are your guys! We appreciated that while working in the yard, the guys were always mindful of where the tortoises were, and were very conscientious about keeping the gates closed so the escape artists never had a chance to make a break for it. It’s important things like that, that build trust and confidence. We will definitely be calling on Paul and his team again in the future! I would most highly recommend Paul Merrick, his son Sean, and their team, without any reservations whatsoever."
