About MVWA Family-Owned Builder
A Family-Owned Builder
San Diego Has Trusted Since 1973
Founded in 1973 by Charlie Snowder, a LEED Accredited Professional and California Licensed Contractor, MVW General Contractors is a family-owned construction company built on craftsmanship, integrity, and straightforward communication. Five decades in, we still treat every project like it's our own.
We build new custom homes, lead full kitchen and bathroom remodels, deliver tenant improvements for commercial spaces, and step in when projects need expert help — resolving code violations, construction defects, and contractor disputes. From a single room renovation to a multi-phase commercial build, our clients get the same hands-on attention and transparent project management.
"Your project is our priority. We earn trust the same way we did 50 years ago — with honest answers, quality work, and showing up when we say we will."
