From an early age, Joseph discovered a deep passion for building. As a child, he could spend hours constructing intricate Lego creations, fascinated by how individual pieces could come together to form something meaningful. That curiosity evolved into a lifelong dedication to craftsmanship and design.
Today, Joseph brings that same imagination and precision to every project he leads. He finds the greatest fulfillment in watching spaces come to life—transforming houses into sacred places where families can gather, grow, and create lasting memories.
A reputable CSLB-licensed contractor, Joseph has overseen the construction and renovation of homes valued at nearly five million dollars. His work reflects a balance of structural excellence, thoughtful design, and respect for the people who will ultimately live within the space.
For Joseph, building is more than a profession—it is a calling rooted in purpose, legacy, and the belief that a well-crafted home has the power to shape everyday life.
Construction has always been a family affair. Jonathan learned the trade at an early age alongside his father, Jacob Quijas, a tile setter who taught him how to run a tile saw as a young boy. Those early experiences built a foundation of craftsmanship, discipline, and respect for honest work.
With nearly 15 years in real estate investing, Jonathan has been directly involved in full home remodels, ADUs, additions, and value-driven renovations. Long before renovation shows became popular, his family was improving homes through faith, hard work, and thoughtful design.
Jonathan understands cap rates, smart investments, and how construction decisions affect long-term value. He believes a home is sacred—both a family’s most important investment and the place where life is shared, memories are made, and people gather.
Every project is approached with an investor’s insight and a homeowner’s heart, treating each home as if it were his own.
Leah West brings over 30 years of experience, passion, and intuition to every space she touches. Her love for home decorating began in childhood, where rearranging and reimagining her own room sparked a lifelong creative journey. That passion continued into young adulthood when she worked for Ethan Allen, refining her eye for balance, comfort, and timeless design.
Inspired by her father, Jacob Quijas, whose hands-on approach to home renovation shaped her perspective, Leah developed a deep appreciation for how meaningful and personal a home truly is. She has since helped transform everything from small, functional spaces to expansive high-end homes—always tailoring her approach to each client’s vision and lifestyle.
