Meet the Owner

THE HOME COMPANY Inc.  is operated by Christopher Egan, a licensed general contractor who has over 30 years of  experience building, renovating and repairing all types of homes. A self described “Remodeling Geek” and perfectionist, Chris is passionate about all things building and takes tremendous pleasure in turning a space you CAN’T WAIT to leave into a place you NEVER want to leave. Starting at a young age and then working summers for a local builder during and after high school, Chris adopted the trades early. He attended Northeastern University in Boston before being accepted to the prestigious North Bennet Street School of craftsmanship and Design in 1984. He found his calling at Hanoian Builders, a custom home building firm in suburban Massachusetts where he continued learning in detail, every aspect of building and renovating new and historical custom homes much like those featured on the popular “This Old House” programs.  His hard work and creativity allowed quick advancement to Lead Carpenter/crew chief and soon after; he earned his Builder’s License and launched his own company. By 1989, he was juggling two large crews and a backlog of complex projects.

Years of successful growth afforded Chris the opportunity to seek out a place to indulge his passion for craftsmanship in a more climate friendly, year round environment and several trips to San Diego with his fiancée sealed the deal. So, after a few sleepless nights and some months of planning they relocated and in 1991, THE HOME COMPANY became a San Diego, California licensed remodeling firm. 30 plus years later and they’ve raised a family (Go Notre Dame!), renovated many homes and developed lots of wonderful relationships.

“Southern California. What a place to call home, so much more than just beautiful weather and surroundings, the people and lifestyle are by far the biggest draw. Living in San Diego has afforded us such a generous pace of life that I always feel compelled to return that generosity in good will every day.”
