About Anton
From the furniture shop to your front door
Hi, I'm Anton.
I grew up in Kharkiv, Ukraine. At 16 I started working in our family furniture business. My father was an interior designer, and together we made custom kitchens, wardrobes, and built-ins, from the first measurement to the last screw in the client's home. Precision and detail were the standard from day one.
I studied construction and earned a master's degree in construction engineering, evaluated in the U.S. as equal to a Master of Science. For almost eight years I also ran my own ceiling installation company in Kharkiv, working in apartments, offices, and shops. Building businesses runs in our family: together we also grew a gift box brand that shipped over 100,000 boxes across Ukraine.
In 2022 the war changed everything. My family and I came to the United States and started over in Wausau, Wisconsin. There we opened Just Right, a small Ukrainian bakery and coffee shop. I did the whole build-out myself, from repairs to equipment setup. It became a warm little place for our neighbors, and it taught us how much a small business depends on trust. At the same time I worked on homes across the area and earned a loyal base of repeat clients.
In 2025 we moved to San Diego, and I started Built by Anton. Today I help families in Del Sur and North County with small home projects, and I'm working toward my California General Contractor license. I've also worked on house flips and taught renovation and deal analysis at real estate investment bootcamps, so I look at every home a little like an investor: what will last, and what's worth your money.
My clients know me for one thing: I leave every job clean and done right.
Why the ant? It's in my name. And ants are small, careful, and never stop working. That's how I like to work too.

Reviews
What neighbors say
Anton is the BEST. We were introduced to Anton through a friend who highly recommended him for repairs and work around the house. I texted him and he came out within 2 days for a walk around. He came back a few days later to perform the work, which included drywall and baseboard repair, caulk and grout work, and touch up paint. He was clear on pricing and his work quality is excellent. He is detail oriented and takes pride in his work looking great. We also have young kids who constantly asked him questions and bugged him and he was so great with the kids. We will use Anton for all future needs.
I had Anton do some work at my home. One of the finest contractors I've ever worked with and he went above and beyond to get the job done right and ahead of schedule.
Anton helped us with several projects: drywall repairs, fixture installations, and outlet replacement. What impressed us most was how seriously he treated every detail, even the smallest ones. Everything looks clean, precise, and thoughtfully done. It feels good to trust someone who really cares about the quality of his work.
We hired Anton to install carpet on our staircase, and the result is great. The carpet is installed evenly, all edges are clean, and the stairs feel safe and solid. He was careful with details and left the area clean after the work.
Highly recommend 👍🏽 Anton replaced our door and did a fantastic job. The door fits perfectly and opens smoothly. Very professional.
