About Distinct Designs
About Distinct Designs Construction
18 years building in the desert. 100+ years of combined experience on our crew.
Dedication to my grandfather, Mario Trujillo
Mario Trujillo, a decorated war veteran and Master Gunnery Sergeant of the United States Marine Corps, laid the foundation upon which Distinct Designs Construction was built. He upheld principles of hard work, diligence, adaptability, and treating every employee like family. These standards continue to guide our company today.
Every one of us at Distinct Designs Construction has been shaped and influenced by Mr. Trujillo's leadership, whether through direct mentorship or through the guidance passed down from those he mentored. His values and craftsmanship became the blueprint that continues to branch throughout the company, instilling integrity, diligence, and a commitment to building quality from the ground up.
Mr. Trujillo taught us the importance of working hard, taking pride in our craft, going the extra mile, and never settling for anything less than excellence. But more than that, he built a culture rooted in loyalty, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to high standards, where every project was approached with the same diligence to excellence.
He didn't just take us on as employees, he mentored us as young adults and molded us into men. His dedication went beyond teaching skills; it was about building character and passing down values that would endure. His legacy of excellence continues to shape Distinct Designs Construction.
Mr. Trujillo laid the concrete foundation and paved the road for Distinct Designs Construction to thrive. His mentorship, diligence, and relentless pursuit of excellence continue to be the backbone of our success. We are forever grateful for his guidance, vision, and commitment to nurturing both our skills and our character.
Thank you, Mario Trujillo, for everything you have done. Your unwavering dedication and wisdom have built more than just a company, you have built a family. Distinct Designs Construction stands strong today because of the foundation you laid. We will honor you by carrying your legacy forward through the principles and values you instilled in all of us.

Our standards
One crew, start to finish.
Our in-house crew and the same vetted trade partners on every job. The team that breaks ground is the team that hands you the keys.
One price, not a maze of line items.
Your proposal is one overall price to build, with separate allowances for the materials you select, never a confusing trade-by-trade breakdown.
Direct access to leadership.
When you call, you hear back the same day, from Nick or your dedicated project manager, never a receptionist or voicemail box.
Third-generation craftsmanship.
18 years in the desert, 100+ years of combined experience on our crew, and standards passed down over three generations.
