Hi, I'm Sheen Fischer...Welcome! Read more

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family owned and operated home improvement, remodel and renovation company. As an established San Diego North County business since 1993, we have served and improved the homes of thousands. Our reputation as a community involved, professional and responsive organization continues to drive us toward our goal of being the standard by which all others in our local industry are measured.

Dependability. Integrity. Reliability:

Yes, we deliver those values and more. But, those traits are the foundation of the service we provide – not the definition. Please read on to find out how we have defined the award winning, top caliber service that we have been providing to San Diego County homeowners for almost two decades.

Our Mission:

Here, in a nutshell, is what I believe: A properly executed remodel project is an experience that you and your family will remember, savor and cherish for a lifetime.

It is Our Privilege:

When you grant us the privilege of working with you to create the remodel you desire, we will treat your home with all the care that we would our own and do everything within our capability to ensure as comfortable and enjoyable an experience as possible for you and your family.

I Care - from beginning to end!

From design to installation, I am involved in every aspect of your remodeling project. My team of personal consultants, professional artisans and I will work personally with you to ensure that your kitchen, bath or entire house remodel is a unique, enjoyable and comfortable experience. That's what makes me stand out from the competition: I care! I want every house I work on to be as beautiful as possible. More importantly, I want your home to look the way you want it. I will start working for you from the moment of our initial contact and will work tirelessly to complete your vision.

No Long Waits...

When you hire me and my remodeling company, you actually get me and my company. My crew and I do almost all the home improvement and remodel services ourselves. Since I don't use alot of sub-contractors, there are no down periods caused by waiting on the next sub to show up. No more waiting for months for your bathroom or kitchen to be finished. No more worrying about the endless stream of strange workers tromping through your home. From tear-out and prep to custom installation and fine finish work, you'll see the same faces everyday working to make your home beautiful!

You Are Our Most Important Client!

I have a very simple ranking process when it comes to your home. You are my most important client and your home is my most important project. Because I only schedule one remodel project at a time, you won't be left wondering when I'll be back to finish your job. Since we're always on the job, decisions and changes can be made immediately. Once I start your remodeling project, I work straight through on it until the last detail is finished. Most importantly, when I say we're going to be there – we’re there!

We Eliminate Worries and Hassles.

I can't say I'm going to be the cheapest guy in town, but I'm not the most expensive either. Factor in the stress, worry and hassles that I will eliminate so that you can have a speedy and enjoyable remodel experience and you can be assured that you will be receiving the absolute most value for your investment.

Said With Certainty -

When you give me the opportunity to transform your house, I can say this with certainty: You will love the stunning results that I can produce in your home! Your Home is Unique...Your Remodel Experience Will Be, Too!

This all sounds too good to be true. This is not the way that most contractors work. I hear it all the time! But, that's the point. At the end of the day, I want to go home to my family and feel good about what I've accomplished and I want you to live in your home with your family and feel great about what you've accomplished - which will be your dream remodel! Let the other guys do things the same old way with the same old problems.

If you want a custom remodel experience with the personal service and quality that can only be achieved by strong values and thoughtful craftsmanship, let me know. I love what I do and I know you will, too!

Specialty Home Improvement exceeded our expectations in all areas. The bathroom remodel project was completed ahead of schedule and with superior workmanship. And throughout the project, Sheen and his employees were prompt, courteous, clean, and maintained excellent communication as the work progressed. The added value of working with Sheen was being able to relax and let him handle all aspects of the project--it was actually a pleasant experience! We will definitely use this company for all of our future projects and will recommend them enthusiasically to our friends and neighbors.

We came across Specialty Home Improvement a few years ago; everything about this company is first class. I have used them for four home improvement projects to date and will continue to call on them for any future project that arise. Specialty Home Improvement has also completed projects with several of our family members and friends. We will continue to use and refer this company; they stay within their quoted budget, start and finish on time, clean up after themselves and do top quality work, every time!

What we like the most about Specialty Home Improvement was that they showed up every morning when they said the would. They took a half an hour to an hour for lunch and worked until they said they would. They worked a full day which was unusual, compared to other contractors. We were pleased with the quality of their work.

The crew was on time as scheduled. Each day Sheen would come out and go over the work for the day. They put up protection for the adjoining rooms and any floors that they would be using. They had an excellent work ethic and were very pleasant. I would recommend them to anyone who asked.

I just wanted to say that I was incredibly impressed with everything about Specialty Home Improvement! My initial project was remodeling the guest bathroom but I had a difficult problem in the master bath. Sheen reviewed the options and came up with a wonderful solution for the problem. He created a very reasonable initial quote and was able to start work shortly thereafter. I can't praise the workmanship and professionalism of his crew enough. There was constant communication either by email or by a message board in the house. When they came up with an improvement to the design they communicated it immediately before proceeding. They put in wonderful and subtle touches that made the difference between having a bathroom that was functional vs. having one that is exceptional. Their craftsmanship was superb! Although I wouldn't have believed it possible they finished the project with some time to spare! His crew was an absolute delight to work with and their thoughtfulness, courtesy and dedication will long be remembered! At one point Sheen mentioned that his goal was to exceed my expectations-I can truly attest to the fact that he actually managed to accomplish his goal! I know that I'll call them for all of my future projects and will recommend them to everyone planning a project in their house!Elizabeth L. Escondido, Two bathroom remodel/repair

The crew was wonderful and very innovative in coming up with a solution that allowed us to perform the repair with the original tile from the project. The clean up and thoughtfulness of the crew was fantastic. They performed numerous other little repair items that they identified at no charge. It was an entirely positive experience.

Sheen and his entire team worked to make the vision of our project come to life. I was extremely pleased with Sheen as a contractor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to do a remodel.

I was most satisfied with the communication and their working relationship. It was like we were working together on a project.

This was my second project using them. I was very satisfied with the results of the first project so I was comfortable using them again. In both cases I was on a tight budget and they were able to work with me to get the quality and look that I wanted while maintaining my budget. They were able to make suggestions that really helped with the overall look of the project. I work in the construction industry and I am all too familiar with contractors that don't do what they say they are going to do. Specialty gets the job done with great quality and a very fair price. If I do any other re-modeling of my house they will be the company I call.

I've worked with Sheen Fischer and his company, Specialty Home Improvement, Inc. on 6 - 8 projects over the past 3 years. He has performed in a highly professional manner for me and also for clients to whom I've referred him. I wouldn't even consider calling anyone else for my home improvement needs.

During the past 8-9 years, Sheen has replaced fascia boards, painted inside and outside the house, remodeled my bathroom and added a garage. All were completed professionally and satisfactorily as scheduled.

Comment Lead Source San Marcos, CA Apr 02, 2011

Many years ago when I had termite/dry rot damage on my fascia/eaves, I looked in the yellow pages and called him. I was very satisfied and since then whenever I have a home project I have called him and have never been disappointed.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction San Marcos, CA Apr 02, 2011

All the listed areas above. Every aspect of the project, from the beginning of the project until the completion of the project was a pleasant experience. Any delays were due to the rain, but as soon as it was safe to continue, the project was first priority. The subcontrtactors were very professional. I think they were carefully chosen - as if he would have chosen them to work on his own home. Sheen was excellent at staying in touch with me letting me know what was happening and what the next step(s) would be.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction San Diego, CA Mar 02, 2011

most people warned me to add about 10-20% more than the proposed budget and to also add a few weeks to the scheduled timeline. Specialty home improvement completed the job on time and worked incredibly fast. I also stayed pretty close to budget. There weren't too many surprises, thankfully. Also, they had good insight and advice when it came to remodeling my fireplace.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Escondido, CA Dec 21, 2010

Communication was excellent...always knew what to expect each day, and was given opportunity to address concerns.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.
