It started with paint
Jorge started out as a painter. One trade led to the next, and the work kept growing.
Years later, Adonay came up the same way: painting first, then drywall, then running the whole job.
Built on thirty years in the trades.
A family foundation, a hands-on contractor, and one close-knit team from the first drawings to the final walkthrough.
01The Legacy
It all started with Jorge.
Long before NewGen had a name or a license, Adonay was on job sites watching his father, Jorge, work.
Crews of his own
In time, Jorge was running crews of his own, with years of work across Coronado.
Anyone who worked beside him learned hands-on. If something was not right, it got redone until it was.
Passing the trade on
Jorge also taught trade workshops to students.
Knowing the work meant passing it on. First to the crews, then to students, and eventually to his own son.
Jorge set the standard. Adonay carries it forward.
02 Second Generation
From job sites to building his own.
Adonay grew up on job sites. Painting came first, then drywall, then running jobs. In 2019, the business side started taking shape. Today Adonay leads NewGen as a California General B contractor, able to carry a project from planning and permitting through construction.
And he stays involved.
When you call NewGen, you are not handed off to a salesperson. Adonay comes out to the property, talks through the project with you, and stays reachable throughout the work. Remodeling questions do not always happen between 9 and 5, and homeowners should be able to reach the person actually responsible for their project.
Every estimate starts with a free in-person walkthrough. We measure the space, look at existing conditions, talk through what you want to change, and put the scope into writing. If something changes once work begins, you know what it costs and approve it before that work moves forward.
Adonay grew up learning his father's trade. Today, that experience is carried into every project NewGen takes on.
03 How We Got Here
Thirty years. Two generations.
It starts with paint
Adonay's father, Jorge, begins in painting and learns the trades one by one, building a career around the work.
Crews of his own
He goes on to run his own crews, including work throughout Coronado, and later teaches trade workshops to students.
Adonay grows up in the trades
Adonay grows up around the job sites and learns the work from the ground up: painting first, then drywall, and eventually running jobs himself.
NewGen takes shape
Adonay begins putting the structure behind the business in place and building NewGen into a company of his own.
General B Contractor
NewGen becomes a California General Building contractor, able to oversee the multi-trade remodeling and construction projects the company is built around.
One team. Start to finish.
Today, NewGen takes on remodels, ADUs, additions, and whole-home projects throughout San Diego County, coordinating the work from the early plans and permits through construction and the final walkthrough.

04 Common Questions
Questions about who we are.
Who will I actually be dealing with?
Adonay.
He comes out for the initial walkthrough, talks through the scope with you, oversees the project, and stays involved through completion. There is no salesperson standing between you and the person responsible for the work.
How long has the family been doing this?
The story goes back more than thirty years through two generations in the trades.
NewGen itself is the newer chapter. We would rather be clear about that than stretch the company's history to make it sound older than it is. The experience came first. NewGen is what Adonay has built from it.
What contractor credentials do you hold?
NewGen holds California General Building Contractor license #1151759.
The California General B classification allows NewGen to contract for and oversee qualifying building projects involving multiple trades, including the type of remodeling, addition, and ADU work we specialize in.
Are you insured and bonded?
Yes. NewGen is bonded and carries general liability insurance. We are happy to provide documentation before your project begins.
Is there a warranty on the work?
Yes. NewGen provides a one-year warranty on our labor.
Materials, fixtures, appliances, and other products may also carry their own manufacturer warranties. We will let you know what applies to the products selected for your project.
Can you help with plans and permits?
Yes. For projects that require architectural drawings or permitting, NewGen can coordinate that process as part of the project.
That means you are not left trying to figure out how the plans, permit process, and construction schedule fit together on your own.
What certifications or partnerships do you have?
Adonay has completed project-management training through Turner Construction, and NewGen participates in a Behr paint partnership through Home Depot.
