Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Broadmoor
When you’re planning a kitchen remodel, room addition, or whole-home renovation in Broadmoor, the biggest question isn’t whether the work can be done. It’s whether your contractor understands how this unincorporated pocket of San Mateo County actually works. We do. San Bruno Construction has managed full-scope residential projects throughout Broadmoor’s 1940s and 1950s tract-home neighborhoods for years, and we know the San Mateo County permit path, the fog-belt moisture realities, and the hidden wiring and framing surprises those older homes hide. Call us at (866) 472-1908 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why San Bruno Construction Is Broadmoor’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Broadmoor homeowners tend to do their homework before signing a contract. They’ve heard the stories: a neighbor’s remodel stalled for six weeks because someone filed with the wrong jurisdiction, or a kitchen quote doubled once the walls came down. Our reputation here is built on writing contracts that account for exactly those risks before demolition starts. Noel Carvalho has structured San Bruno Construction around one principle: the inspection happens first, the allowance is written into the contract, and any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Local homeowners also know we don’t show up to quote a job without understanding the parcel. Broadmoor is tiny, roughly a mile across, but east of 87th Street and west of it can fall under different review paths depending on the specific lot. We confirm jurisdiction before a single plan is drawn, which saves weeks of re-submittal time that other contractors lose inside San Mateo County’s plan-check queue.
Our Broadmoor customers consistently point to the same things in reviews: we answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and the final invoice matches the contract unless they approved a change order in writing. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to in this neighborhood.
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Broadmoor
Hiring a construction company in Broadmoor means hiring a firm that knows San Mateo County’s building department is the only authority that matters for your address, even though Daly City surrounds every side. That single fact shapes every timeline and every permit fee on your project. A typical Broadmoor kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000, a bathroom remodel $9,000 – $28,000, and a home addition $45,000 – $130,000, but the real difference between a clean build and a stalled one is whether the contractor filed the right paperwork with the right county office on day one.
Full-Scope Project Coordination
We coordinate licensed trades across every phase: demo, rough-in, electrical, plumbing, drywall, finish work, and inspection sign-offs. You get one point of contact, one contract, and one person who takes responsibility when a schedule slips. No chasing three vendors who each blame the other.
Material Selection Done Right
Because we work with 50+ vetted brands, you choose cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and finishes from real options, not whatever’s cheapest that week. A Broadmoor kitchen with Wellborn cabinets and a Silestone island top is a different room than a builder-grade flip. We help you make that call without padding the budget.
Remodeling Contractor in Broadmoor
A remodeling contractor in Broadmoor has to think about what’s behind the walls of a 1950s tract home before quoting the pretty stuff. Many of these houses still have original knob-and-tube wiring, undersized 2×4 framing, and subfloor that’s been absorbing coastal moisture for seventy years. That’s why our quotes for kitchens, baths, and additions include a written allowance for code-triggered upgrades, and why we never commit to a final number until walls are open and we’ve documented what’s actually there. The range for a small Broadmoor bathroom remodel is $5,000 – $12,000, while a full bath runs $9,000 – $28,000.
Open-Wall Inspection First
We schedule a wall-open inspection as the first physical step on any remodel. You see what we see, on camera with measurements, before drywall goes back. Then we price the fix in writing. No verbal estimates, no “well, while we’re in there.”
Change Orders You Actually Understand
If the county requires an electrical panel upgrade once the walls are open, or the framing can’t carry the new floor load, you get a line-item change order with the permit requirement cited. You approve it, then we do the work. That’s the only way we’ve ever run a Broadmoor project.
Trusted Brands We Service in Broadmoor
Broadmoor homes weren’t built for the finishes available today. When we open up a 1940s kitchen and find 4-inch tile over failing lath, homeowners want to see options that will actually hold up to this climate. We stock and source cabinet lines from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertop options from Cambria and Silestone, among our full portfolio of 50+ brands. Having those relationships means a Broadmoor customer doesn’t wait a month for a sample, and we don’t get stuck with a distributor’s backorder. You pick what you want, and the material lands when the schedule says it should.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Broadmoor Homes
- Jurisdiction confusion from day one. Because Broadmoor addresses are unincorporated San Mateo County, a contractor who files with Daly City’s building department will get rejected, re-file, and burn weeks of schedule. We verify the parcel’s governing jurisdiction before plans are drawn.
- Knob-and-tube wiring hidden behind newer drywall. We regularly open Broadmoor walls and find original cloth-wrapped wiring spliced into modern romex, which on a permit-triggered remodel means a panel upgrade and rewire before anything else. That’s why the allowance exists in writing before demo.
- Fog-belt rot and moisture damage in exterior corners. The damp, cool air off the Pacific doesn’t dry out wood framing like inland climates do. Northwest-facing walls and any spot without proper flashing show rot years earlier. Building with the right materials matters more here than it does ten miles east.
- Undersized framing on original tract construction. Those post-war Broadmoor homes were framed fast and light. Remove a load-bearing wall for an open kitchen and the existing 2x4s often can’t carry the new span. We check the structure before we quote the floor plan.
Pricing for General Contractor in Broadmoor, CA

| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |

FAQs About General Contractor in Broadmoor
Broadmoor is unincorporated San Mateo County, so every building permit, plan check, and inspection for a Broadmoor address goes through San Mateo County’s building department, not Daly City’s, even though Daly City surrounds the community. We verify jurisdiction for your specific parcel before plans are drawn, because a project on one side of a street can fall under county authority while the neighbor is under Daly City. Call (866) 472-1908 if you want us to check your address before you pay anyone to draw plans.
Most Broadmoor homes still contain at least some original knob-and-tube wiring, often spliced into newer romex behind drywall, plus undersized 2×4 framing that wasn’t built to carry modern open-concept loads. On a recent kitchen remodel in the Broadmoor neighborhood, our crew opened a wall to find exactly that: old cloth-wrapped wiring tied into romex and a header that couldn’t support the new island. We wrote a change order, got county sign-off, and fixed both before drywall went up. The homeowners approved every dollar before we touched a stud.
When we open a Broadmoor wall or floor and find moisture damage, we stop work and document it with photos and measurements, then present you a written change order with the exact scope and price. Fog-belt rot is common in these older homes, especially on northwest-facing exterior walls and around original windows. We don’t hide it and we don’t keep framing. You approve the fix, we do it, and the county inspects it before we close anything up. Call (866) 472-1908 to get ahead of it with a pre-purchase or pre-remodel inspection.
For a Broadmoor home addition or major remodel, we typically structure payments as a modest deposit at contract signing, then draws tied to completed milestones: demo and rough-in, electrical and plumbing sign-off, drywall and finish, and final county inspection. No draw happens until that phase is done and you’ve walked it with us. We never front-load a schedule, and we never ask for a draw before the work it’s tied to is complete.
We provide a fixed contract price for the visible scope, with a written allowance for the hidden scope, because no honest contractor can quote a final number on a 70-year-old Broadmoor home without seeing what’s in the walls. The allowance line is in the contract, it’s capped, and any use of it comes as a written change order you approve first. That’s the only honest way to price a Broadmoor remodel, and it’s why our final invoices match what you signed. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through how the allowance works on your house.
