About Neglia Construction & Painting

Delce Torres is a seasoned painting and finishing professional with over 20 years of experience in residential and commercial construction. He began his career in South Dakota, where he developed a strong technical foundation in the painting trade while working on a wide range of residential and commercial projects. This early experience shaped his disciplined work ethic and attention to detail.

After relocating to Vista, California, in North County San Diego, Delce joined PERFECT PAINTING, where he advanced rapidly due to his technical proficiency, efficiency, and reliability. Within one year, he was entrusted with crew leadership and project oversight responsibilities, including scope execution, manpower coordination, material management, quality control, and schedule adherence.

In addition to painting, Delce developed advanced skills in drywall installation and finishing, as well as finish carpentry, with a focus on baseboards, and casing installation. His experience spans new construction, renovations, tenant improvements, and high turnover projects requiring consistent quality and production level efficiency.

Delce later transitioned to independent journeyman work, specializing in painting, drywall installation/finishing, trim and molding installation. His trade knowledge, combined with hands on leadership experience, allows him to deliver consistent workmanship that meets contractor specifications, project timelines, and long-term durability requirements.

Delce was introduced to Bart Neglia through his cousin, Baudel Lopez of Baudel Lopez Landscaping and Tree Service. Their shared emphasis on craftsmanship, accountability, and jobsite professionalism formed the foundation of a long-standing professional collaboration known as NEGLIA Construction.

Bart Neglia is a second generation construction professional and the son of Sicilian immigrant Bart Neglia Sr., who built a respected construction business in North County San Diego. Begging at the age of 14, Bart Jr. began working in the industry, spending his teenage years on job sites performing labor intensive tasks such as digging ditches, site cleanup, hauling construction trash and material handling. This early exposure gave him a foundational understanding of construction operations and worksite discipline.

By age 23, Bart had earned the trust of his father and business partner, Bruce D. Wiegand, to project manage custom residential homes valued at over $2.5 million. Under their mentorship, along with guidance from respected North County contractors Greg Wright, Chris Bell, and Marty Brumfield, Bart developed standard construction industry experience in project management, subcontractor coordination, quality control, and client communication.

Over the years, Bart became a well rounded tradesman with a strong focus on painting, drywall, and carpentry. In 2010, he obtained his contractor’s license and founded NEGLIA Construction with the support of longtime colleague Delce Torres of Torres Painting. Sharing the same work ethic, craftsmanship standards, and commitment to client satisfaction, Bart and Delce built the company around quality painting, drywall, and baseboard installation services for homeowners and general contractors.

Today, NEGLIA Construction delivers reliable, workmanship with a strong emphasis on professionalism, schedule adherence, and exceptional value for clients.
