CONSTRUCTION
I’ve been in the construction business for more than 35 years. In that time I’ve learned that there are four things to making a customer happy. Be honest. Listen. Be punctual. Work hard. Here’s what a few people had to say about hiring me as their contractor:
Bob and Peggy Christman of Pacific Beach wrote:
As recent returnees to San Diego, we were delighted with the super quality and personal service of Charlie Dimock. He’s is a knowledgable, patient and tactful professional who works well with the most detail oriented clients. Charlie was very responsive and helpful in resolving the issues that invariably evolve during any home repair and upgrade project. We knew we were not even close to a large project, but felt we got the royal treatment! We highly recommend Charlie to any prospective client.”
Colleen Bush wrote this letter following our renovation of her former house in Lemon Grove:
Dear Charlie, My family (including my Brother) and I went to the house yesterday. I am at a loss for words – The house is beautiful!
It is hard to believe that it is the same house – Charlie, you and your team did a wonderful job. I especially loved the stamped concrete on the driveway and the doors leading out to the yard from the 2 bedrooms. And, the kitchen! What else can I say?
Now we hope that a nice young family will buy the house and make it happy again!
Thank you again all for helping me, and my Brother, close this chapter in our lives.”

Thanks to Charlie our remodel project was a success. He made decision making easy by explaining all the options in lay terms; and he made sure we knew what to expect at each stage in the process. Having someone we could trust made all the difference because we knew we had the information we needed to make critical decisions.
It is a pleasure to work with professionals who know what they are doing, have your best interests in mind, and make good on their promises. Charlie turned our house into a home that we are comfortable in and proud to own.”
Tom Silvers, Architect, San Diego wrote:
I have known Charlie for over 30 years. We have worked on numerous residential projects over those years, in San Diego and Northern California… everything from small remodels to completely new homes from the ground up. The best recommendation that an Architect can make regarding a contractor is having him work on the Architect’s own home. My house was built in 1927.
In 80 plus years of termites, ground water and other gifts of nature, the back of the house was ready to fall off. Charlie and his team removed all of the damage and beautifully restored the back of the house to current standards. I continue to enjoy the new French doors to the pool patio. Needless to say, I highly recommend Charlie Dimock.”
Amy and Wade Williford of Mira Mesa wrote:
Our kitchen remodel took an unexpected turn and became a kitchen and two bath remodel. Charlie was able to keep us on our original timeline, even with the added work. He was honest, fair and dependable. When we had a question, he was quick to answer and offer a set of solutions to meet our needs. We love the new functionality of our remodeled kitchen, and we were happy we stayed within a reasonable budget. I’d highly recommend Charlie for any home project. He is simply the best!”
Deralyn Kaheny, Real Estate Agent, Kensington wrote:
I entered the Real Estate industry as an agent in 1990 and was introduced to Charlie Dimock shortly thereafter. Since day one I have trusted his expertise, judgement and relieability in the construction arena. Charlie has developed into a master of his craft and I would utilize and recommend his services for major and minor projects.”
Charles Miller of Pacific Beach wrote:
My wife and I choose the Dimock Team to do a complete remodel on my Pacific Beach house. We had several quotes on the job and Charlie’s was the most complete and comprehensive. He walked us through the job and helped us define what we were actually looking to get done. He helped us with our plans and the required engineering and kept us on track throughout the whole job with a great deal of patience and respect.
When the job started his team was punctual and professional. They all arrived daily ready to work with surprising cheer and we made friends with them all by the time the job was complete. They handled demolition, electrical, plumbing, dry wall, finish work, tile, flooring and paint. The centerpiece of our house is a full glass wall panoramic door and deck that get raves from all who visit. Charlie has a team that can handle it all!
Dimock Construction has my highest possible recommendation for all of my friends. We would have him and his team back at our house anytime.”
REAL ESTATE
One of the most fulfilling aspects of being a real estate agent is helping people. Whether it be residential, commercial or land, finding the best match between buyer and seller is a study in perserverence. So when clients are happy it is the greatest reward. Here’s what a few people had to say about their experience:
Sharon and Howard Lau of Silverlake, California wrote:
Charlie worked tirelessly for us – always willing to do the research and legwork for us to get the house of our dreams – while we resided more than 500 miles away. Of the many realtors we have worked with over the years, none can come close to his enthusiasm and dedication to his clients.
Charlie has a thorough understanding of all aspects of the real estate business and knows the North Coast area very well.
In addition Charlie is a building contractor and his background in construction was invaluable in assessing the condition of our property.
Most importantly, Charlie has an uncanny ability to perceive what people want and what people are willing to do to obtain their goals. This ability saved us a LARGE amount of money as Charlie guided us through an involved negotiating process.
Charlie Dimock is the best!”

I am an ‘out of town’ owner of a lot in Surfwood. I keep a close watch on lot and home listings in that area. During one of my many visits to Mendocino, I met Charlie and asked him to show my wife and I a few properties. I also mentioned my interest in a home that I knew was already in escrow. After I left town, that listing went back on the market. Charlie called me immediately and over the next few months devoted enormous time and effort to get it under contract and close the deal.
I have worked with a number of real estate professionals in Mendocino, but will be calling Charlie the next time I need help.”
Danny and Sue Gastelum of Fort Bragg wrote:
My wife and I were first time home buyers. We contacted an agent to look at a property that had our interest. Looking back, we now know how fortunate we were to get Charlie as our agent. Charlie helped us go through the process and explained everything. We did get our home and at the right price. He even helped us move in. What a great guy! Yes, we highly recommend Charlie Dimock.”
