Our Journey
Paul Started his construction Career working on Framing Homes in the bay area. Paul learned his skills building new houses working through the trades including rough framing, finish carpentry, and doors and windows.
ESTABLISHED 1990
Paul learned how to expertly build in the trades and had the opportunity to start his own venture. Paul earned his B General Contractors License in 1990 and started our construction company as Paul Merrick Construction.
Paul remodeled kitchens and bathrooms all throughout the bay area and through his daily shopping, became good friends with the Pro’s at The Home Depot. We were able to partner with Home Depot to install their doors and windows in the Vacaville, Ca area of Solano County. Paul was declared “The Windowman”, and we worked with the Home Depot for many years while working in whole-home, kitchen and bathroom remodeling department in Solano County.
We also worked with many investors on whole home renovation projects in Sacramento and the Bay Area. Paul and Sean shared the vision of restoring dilapidated and uninhabitable houses. We bought and sold many homes. Turning broken homes and waist high weeds into lovely additions to the neighborhood. We are at our best when we are building the vision for a dream house.
The housing recession brought the construction industry to an abrupt halt and we saw an opportunity to make a change.
Paul grew up in San Diego and always envisioned a return to the beautiful SoCal way of life. So in 2010 the whole company (and family!) packed up and moved back to the sunshine of southern California. And we are happy to be back!
We Rebranded to Reliable Renovations when Paul’s daughter joined the company; Reflecting our values of being your contractor for life.
We began working with San Diego homeowners and investors, merrily building dreams. We have built hundreds of dream kitchens, bathrooms, whole home remodels, investor flips as well as dream home additions.
Our company has grown and it is time to rebrand.
Merribuild was chosen because it reflects our mission to create a building process that can be enjoyed. Building your dreams can be a once in a lifetime experience, and we set out to make construction merry.
We have been working in the residential remodeling industry, now, for over 29 years and our favorite projects are those that require city permits and building plans including: Home Additions and Casitas/ ADU’s/ Granny Flats, Wall removals, and Kitchen or Bathroom redesigns.
With the constant changes to the California building laws, ADU new construction became our new focus. Then with SB9 being passed by Gov. Newsome, we had another dream to build more single family residences in San Diego for homeowners where no one thought it would be possible before.
Using ADU’s and SB9, Merribuild created housing opportunities for renters and buyers, as well as cash flow and retirement opportunities for homeowners.
We specialize in residential construction requiring building permits and plans. As well as, whole home remodels, kitchen remodels and bath remodels.
We are always working on creating opportunities, and making dreams a reality for San Diego’s housing market.
ADU’s and SB9 solutions remain some of our main focuses alongside our residential remodeling and Residential New Construction.
We continue partnering with investors to create more housing opportunities in San Diego County.
We continue to focus on sustainable development where we build with an eye on the future of San Diego’s residents and environment.

What Clients Say
About Us
Paul and his crew are fantastic! They are easy to work with, understood exactly what we were looking for, and made updates without any fuss when our selected appliances didn't exactly fit. All of the workers he had in our house were kind, respectful, and felt like a welcome part of the family by the end of the project.
Colleen c
Good natured, professional and easy to work with. Kept the place clean and respectable to our need to continue living in the house during construction.
MIKE K
Working with them was hassle free. From designing the new space, to final inspection, they met all of our deadlines, created our dream space, all at a reasonable price. We'll definitely be hiring again for our future projects!
JEFF R
Merribuild was top notch! They remodeled our guest bathroom and it is absolutely amazing. The quote was spot on, the team was professional and courteous. Most importantly, my wife and I are thrilled with our new bathroom. Thanks Merribuild!
Delon G
They were friendly. If we did not agree on something they listened to our comments and concerns and changed what we wanted. They were easy to reach and very reasonable. We wanted wood flooring taken out and replaced with tile which was not in the original contract and they accommodated without charging an arm and a leg. They originally did our master bathroom and we were so pleased that we had them redo our kitchen as well.
Howard k
I did competitive bidding and his prices where in line. Merribuild came and finished a quality bathroom and shower within his timeline. I will use him again.
