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.
Why Watsonville Chooses Ed's Construction Services
The things that actually change how a job goes.
One licence covers the tear-out and the rebuild
Most restoration firms dry the house out and hand you off to a builder for the drywall, floors and paint. This is a licensed California contractor doing both, so nobody disappears between the two halves of the job.
You reach Everardo, not a call centre
The number on this site is the owner's cell. The person who quotes the job is the person running the job on it.
Built for how houses are built here
Crawl spaces instead of basements, redwood framing, stucco over sheathing, and a marine layer that keeps everything damp. Water and mold behave differently on the coast than they do inland, and the fix has to account for it.
Local to the Pajaro Valley
Based in Watsonville, working from Santa Cruz down to Monterey and over to Hollister. Close enough to look at the damage the same week you call.

How it works
What happens from the first call to the finished job.
Call Everardo
You reach the owner on the number on this site, tell him what happened, and he tells you straight whether it needs a visit.
He looks at the damage
Everardo comes to the property, reads the water, fire or mold in the context of a coastal house, and maps where it's gone.
Stop the loss getting worse
We pump standing water, board up openings or tarp the roof, and stop any active leak so weather and damp don't add to it.
Dry and remove
We dry framing, subfloor and crawl space while taking moisture readings, and remove drywall, insulation and material that's past saving.
Rebuild under the same license
The same contractor hangs new drywall, patches stucco, lays flooring and finishes the work — no handoff to a second builder.
Keep the water out
Where it helps, we seal the crawl space, foundation or deck so the next winter's rain and marine-layer damp stay out of the framing.

Call (831) 277-7713Who can I call for water damage repair in Watsonville, CA?
Ed's Construction Services handles water, fire and mold damage and the rebuild that follows, for homeowners around Watsonville, Santa Cruz, Aptos, Capitola, Salinas and Monterey. Everardo Mendoza runs the jobs himself. Call (831) 277-7713.
How much does water or fire damage work cost in Watsonville, CA?
It depends on how far the water or soot travelled, how much material has to come out, and how much of the house needs rebuilding afterward. We fall in the moderate range, but the only honest price comes from looking at the actual damage. Call (831) 277-7713 to set that up.
How do I choose a restoration company in Watsonville, CA?
Ask whether the same license covers both the cleanup and the rebuild, or whether you'll be handed to a second builder. Ask who actually answers when you call, and whether they know coastal crawl spaces and stucco. With us you deal with Everardo on all of it.
What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Shut the water off at the main if you can reach it, and move what you can out of the wet area. Then call (831) 277-7713 so we can get the water out before it soaks further into the framing and subfloor.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Watsonville and work across the Monterey Bay — Santa Cruz, Aptos, Capitola, Scotts Valley, Salinas, Monterey, Seaside, Marina and over to Hollister.
How does a job start?
You call the number on this site and talk to Everardo directly. He asks what happened, and if it needs looking at he comes out to see the damage and tells you what the work involves.
My crawl space stays damp — is that a mold problem?
On the coast it often is. Damp soil, poor venting and a wet subfloor feed mold from underneath, and it spreads before you ever see it. We check the crawl space, remove what's affected, and seal the ground so it stops coming back.
Can you clean up after flooding from the creek or river?
Yes. We pump and extract standing water from atmospheric-river rain, creek and river flooding, and groundwater pushing up under a crawl space, then dry the structure and rebuild what's ruined.
