Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Lompico
General contractor work in Lompico means dealing with steep private roads, aging redwood cabins, and the kind of surprises that only surface once walls come down. A kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000, a bathroom $9,000 – $28,000, and a full home addition $45,000 – $130,000. We know those numbers shift when a permit triggers code upgrades or a delivery truck can’t make the climb. San Bruno Construction has been coordinating remodels in the San Lorenzo Valley long enough to plan for that from day one. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll walk your Lompico property before we quote it.
Why San Bruno Construction Is Lompico’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Noel Carvalho runs San Bruno Construction with a simple approach: inspect before you bid, write real allowances into the contract, and never let a homeowner get blindsided by what an older mountain house hides. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we’ve kept Lompico clients from walking into five-figure change orders they never saw coming.
Lompico homeowners call us because the standard flatland playbook doesn’t work here. A loaded material truck that handles a Santa Cruz cul-de-sac fine will sink or scrape out on a narrow, soft Lompico driveway. We stage at the bottom and shuttle up. That’s one small example of why our reputation in this ZIP code and along Lompico Road matters more than any marketing copy.
We’re insured and bonded, we pull permits and pass inspections, and we don’t ask for final payment until the walkthrough is done. If you’re within 95005, you’re within our service area. Estimates are free.
Key Takeaways:
- One contract covers every phase: framing, finishes, materials, and subs
- We inspect before quoting so code upgrades appear as allowances, not ambushes
- Delivery logistics on steep Lompico roads are planned before mobilization, not discovered on asphalt day
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Lompico
San Bruno Construction operates as a full-scope General Contractor, which means when Lompico homeowners need structural work, an addition, or a ground-up outbuilding, we handle everything from demo to final inspection under one contract. A home addition in this mountain community typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on how much foundation, grading, and retaining work the slope demands.
Access and Site Logistics
Most Lompico driveways won’t take a fully loaded concrete truck. We plan for a pump or a shuttle from the base of the grade. That cost gets written into the bid up front, not tacked on later as a surprise.
Foundation and Structural Upgrades
Older owner-built homes around Lompico sometimes rest on piers, post-and-beam, or older concrete that doesn’t meet current shear requirements. When a permit is pulled, the building department frequently requires upgrades. We pre-price those allowances so you know the worst-case number before we open a single wall.
Remodeling Contractor in Lompico
As a Lompico Remodeling Contractor, we take a different approach to mountain remodels than you’d get from a company that only builds down the hill. Every Lompico remodel starts with a pre-bid inspection, because the moment we open walls in a redwood-era cabin, we find knob-and-tube wiring, undersized ceiling joists, or a deck that was never permitted in the first place. We identify it before you sign.
A mid-range kitchen remodel in Lompico sits around $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom runs $9,000 – $28,000. Those numbers include realistic allowances for the code fixes this housing stock frequently triggers.
Code-Triggered Allowances
Opening a wall means the inspector sees what’s behind it. If there’s old wiring or failed shear, the fix is mandatory before we close up. We write those fixes into the contract as line-item allowances, not vague “structural repair” language. You see the number. You approve the number. Then we do the work.
Brand Selection for Mountain Homes
Our clients in Lompico choose from 50+ vetted brands, including Jerith service in Lompico. Cabinets from KraftMaid. Countertops from Cambria and Silestone. Windows from PGT and ECO Window Systems. Plumbing from Kohler, Moen, and Toto. The lineup lets you pick what fits your budget without sacrificing the reliability a wet, coastal-mountain climate demands.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lompico
We install and service a range of product lines that hold up in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Window systems from ECO Window Systems and ES Windows are common choices for Lompico homes because they handle driving winter rain without warping or leaking. For exterior envelope work, James Hardie siding and Therma-Tru doors show up on a lot of our job sites. We keep relationships with local suppliers tight, so when a Lompico project needs a replacement part mid-remodel, we’re not waiting a week for it to come from a distribution center two states over.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Lompico Homes
- Stuck delivery trucks: Loaded concrete and material trucks get stuck on narrow, soft private roads. The resulting shuttle delays and extra labor weren’t in the original flatland bid, and the client eats it. We pre-plan staging for every load.
- Non-permitted additions: Decades of owner-built decks, bump-outs, and converted outbuildings mean the county has no record of half the structure. When we pull a permit for your remodel, those come up. We handle the correction now, not after framing is done.
- Failed waterproofing and rot: Heavy atmospheric-river winters mean water gets into places it shouldn’t. We regularly find rotted sill plates, soft subfloors, and failed flashing in Lompico cabins. The fix is straightforward once we expose it.
- Knob-and-tube and undersized framing: Redwood-era wiring can’t carry a modern kitchen load. Undersized ceiling joists sag over a garage or a living space. A code inspection will flag both. Our allowances cover the upgrade cost so it doesn’t sink your finish budget.

FAQs About General Contractor in Lompico
We pre-price them as written allowances before we start. A standard contract from us includes line items for code-triggered electrical upgrades, shear wall installation, and structural framing fixes based on what we saw during the pre-bid inspection. Anything we didn’t see gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. You’ll never get a phone call demanding $8,000 to keep the job moving. Call (866) 472-1908 if you want to see what a real allowance structure looks like.
Often not. We’ll assess your driveway during the estimate. If a loaded truck can’t safely climb or turn around, we stage materials at the bottom and shuttle them up in a smaller vehicle. Sometimes that adds a pump truck for concrete pours. It’s all planned and priced before mobilization, not discovered on delivery day.
Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and any addition work requires a county permit. Once the walls are open, the inspector will require code corrections for anything non-compliant. That may include new shear walls, upgraded electrical, or strapping on older framing. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and build those corrections into your contract up front.
Two ways: a thorough pre-bid inspection and written allowances for the known unknowns. We don’t write vague “structural repair” line items. We walk the house, open access panels where we can, check the crawlspace, and give you a real worst-case range. When we’re off, it’s by hundreds, not tens of thousands.
Yes. KraftMaid and Wellborn are our primary cabinet lines. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone cover countertops. We also spec plumbing from Kohler, Moen, and Toto, and windows from ECO Window Systems when mountain weather resistance matters. Every brand is chosen for durability in Lompico’s wet winters and dry fire seasons, not just looks. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll walk you through options that fit your budget.
