The Women Contractors of Sweeten, Part 3

Support women-owned and women-operated general contracting firms by hiring Sweeten women contractors

In honor of Women’s History month, we are spotlighting women contractors in the general contracting field. These Sweeten contractors are leading the charge and closing the gender gap.

With years of experience under their belts, their firms include experts who handle a myriad of projects—from residential room remodels and full-home renovations to commercial work.

In the third of a five-part series, we highlight firms led by women contractors who have the skills and industry knowledge to make your home-sweet-home a reality.

Sweeten General Contractor Marisela | Los Angeles

“Our goal is to banish the bad rap contractors get by simply doing what you hire us to do—plus a little more,” says Sweeten general contractor Marisela. Working under this philosophy, Marisela built a successful contracting business for the Los Angeles area. Her husband and business partner, Mario, helps to manage the full suite of renovations that her company handles. They have experience in major buildouts and remodels, including additions.

The Sweeten contractor’s track record is best summed up by one of her client’s reviews: “[I have worked with Anna] nine different times and I’m also a real estate agent, so I recommend them to my clients. We live in a rowhouse in DC and hired them personally to repair some drainage and flooding work.” See general contractor Anna’s reviews and work.
