About Ed's Construction Services
Ed's Construction Services is run by Everardo Mendoza, who you'll usually reach when you call. There's no phone tree and no dispatcher reading off a script — Everardo answers, listens to what happened, and tells you straight what the job is going to involve. That's how he's always done it.
We work on homes and properties damaged by fire, water, and mold: pulling out what's ruined, drying things down, treating the mold, and then rebuilding the part of the house that got torn up. We also handle waterproofing to keep the water out in the first place — which, on the Central Coast, is half the battle.
One license, start to finish
Here's the thing most people don't find out until they're in the middle of it: a lot of outfits will do the emergency cleanup, run the fans and dehumidifiers, and then hand you off to a separate builder to actually put your house back together. Now you're managing two companies, two schedules, and two people pointing fingers when something doesn't line up.
Ed's Construction Services holds a single California contractor's license that covers both the mitigation and the reconstruction. That means the same person who tears out your wet drywall is the one who hangs the new board, patches the stucco, and makes the room look like a room again. Nobody gets handed off. You deal with Everardo from the first day to the last.
Built for this coast
We're in Watsonville, and we build for Watsonville — not some generic version of a house pulled off the internet.
Around here that means crawl spaces, not basements. It means redwood framing and stucco walls that behave differently than the stick-and-vinyl construction you'd find elsewhere. It means the marine layer rolling in off the Bay and keeping everything damp, salt air working on anything metal, and the winter atmospheric rivers dumping rain for days at a stretch. It means understanding how water moves through this valley — folks here remember what the Pajaro River did to the town next door in March of 2023, and nobody needs a lecture on how fast agricultural-valley flooding turns serious.
When we assess a water or mold problem, we're reading it in that context. A crawl space that stays wet under marine-layer conditions is a different job than a one-time leak, and we treat it that way.
Why people trust us
Trust in this line of work comes down to a few plain things. You want somebody who shows up. You want somebody who tells you what's actually wrong instead of what's easiest to sell. And you want the work done once, done right, by someone who's going to stand behind it because his name is on the license.
That's what Everardo offers. He runs the jobs himself, he walks the job with you, and he explains the work the way a contractor should — in terms you can follow, without the sales pitch.
If you've got fire, water, or mold damage on your property anywhere around the Monterey Bay, call (831) 247-3672 and talk to Everardo directly.
