STERLING president + founder

Ken Manchego

Ken Manchego has been a general contractor and home designer for 29 years.  He combines the knowledge of sound construction and value engineering with training in home design and renovation.  Ken spent more than 15 years as a partner in premier design and build firms in the greater San Diego area.  He then founded Sterling Design & Remodeling to provide more personalized services to families who want to upgrade or expand their homes. 

Earlier in his career, Ken worked as a master carpenter, electrician and plumber.  Subsequently, he underwent extensive practical and theoretical design training which allows him to provide the best of all worlds to his clients: high-quality and creative design skills along with the savvy of an experienced builder.

Ken’s most important calling card is his loyal customer base.  His business is largely through word-of-mouth as his clients pass his name to both friends and family.  He has built everything from new kitchens and music rooms to expansive outdoor living space and entirely new wings to existing homes.  Ken embraces the concept of value engineering to ensure sound and reliable construction at minimum cost.  This allows for more of the remodeling budget to help create the unique look that each client desires.   His design sense covers a wide range of styles from contemporary to southwestern adobe to country French.

When he’s not reinventing living space for his clients, Ken is riding his Harley Davidson up the coast, visiting family on their ranch in Colorado, or deep sea fishing near Baja.
