The story of how DeWall Construction went from one guy with a truck to a crew working across two markets.
Luis de la Cruz started DeWall Construction 7 years ago the way most honest contracting businesses start — doing quality work, showing up when he said he would, and letting word of mouth do the rest. No investors, no franchise playbook. Just a family name attached to every job.
What began as painting and small trim jobs around the Coachella Valley grew into a full-service general contracting operation — epoxy flooring, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and crews now working steadily in both Palm Springs and San Diego.
The company is still family-run today. Luis is on job sites, on the phone with clients, and personally reviewing every estimate that goes out. That's by design — growth doesn't mean losing the parts of the business that made people trust it in the first place.
These aren't wall art. This is how we actually run every project, from a single-room paint job to a full remodel.
Every client works directly with the people who own the business — not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
We take pride in the details other crews skip — tight caulk lines, clean edges, finishes that hold up.
You'll get a straight answer about cost, timeline, and scope — before the job starts, not after.
Full licensing and insurance coverage across both the Coachella Valley and San Diego County.
We show up when we say we will and finish on the schedule we quote — not a rough estimate that slips.
Most of our work comes from referrals. That only happens when the last job was done right.
You'll get a written timeline with your estimate, and we'll flag it immediately if anything shifts — no radio silence mid-project.
The number in your estimate is the number we build to. Change orders only happen with your sign-off, in writing, before we proceed.
If something doesn't meet the standard we promised, we fix it. That's not a policy line — it's how a referral-based business survives.
Painters, tile setters, and finish carpenters working across Palm Springs and San Diego.
DeWall Construction is fully licensed and insured to perform general contracting work in California, covering both the Coachella Valley and San Diego County. Proof of license and insurance is available on request with every estimate.
Founded in 2019, DeWall Construction has completed hundreds of painting, flooring, trim, and remodeling projects — built on referrals from repeat clients across both markets.
We run scheduled crews in the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, Coachella) and San Diego County (San Diego, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside).
