Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across La Habra
Hiring a general contractor in La Habra means finding someone who understands that most of the work here happens inside houses built before 1965. We’re Daly City Construction, and we’ve spent years working on mid-century ranch homes, hillside lots, and everything in between across the 90631, 90632, and 90633 zip codes. Whether you need a kitchen remodel, a room addition, or a full roof replacement, call us at (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate. We know which walls hide galvanized plumbing and which hillside lots need extra drainage work before the first permit gets pulled.
Why Daly City Construction Is La Habra’s Preferred General Contractor Company
La Habra homeowners keep calling us back because we handle every trade under one license. You don’t juggle three separate bids for cabinetry, electrical, and roofing. One contract, one point of contact, one schedule. Noel Cabrera runs our La Habra projects personally, and the homeowners we work with in the neighborhoods off Whittier Boulevard and up toward the Puente Hills tell us the same thing: they wanted a contractor who would actually show up, communicate clearly, and fix problems without drama.
We’ve built our La Habra reputation on work in older homes where surprises live behind drywall. When we open a wall in a 1950s ranch and find undersized wiring or corroded pipes, we don’t treat it like a change-order opportunity. We treat it like what it is: a scope adjustment that has to be handled honestly, in writing, before cabinets get ordered. That’s why homeowners here refer us to their neighbors on North Cypress Street, East Lambert Road, and in the hillside tracts near Murphy Ranch Park.

General Contractor Services in La Habra
General Contractor Services in La Habra cover the full scope of residential renovation work: kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, roofing, windows, hardscaping, fencing, siding, and ADU construction. A homeowner needs us when a project spans multiple trades and needs a single accountable party to sequence everything correctly. That’s the difference between a smooth remodel and a six-month headache with mismatched schedules.
Full-Scope Remodeling
We run kitchen and bathroom remodels from demolition through final inspection, coordinating rough-in work, cabinetry installation, countertop templating, and finish plumbing under one roof. For a typical La Habra kitchen remodel, plan on $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you move walls.
Additions and Structural Work
Room additions in La Habra run $45,000 to $130,000, and on the sloped lots north of Whittier Boulevard, that number often includes retaining wall and drainage scope that flat-lot additions don’t need. We handle foundation work, framing, roofing, and all interior finishes so you get one warranty instead of four.

Construction Company in La Habra
As a Construction Company serving La Habra, we take on the project types that separate real general contractors from specialty subs: whole-home remodels, garage conversions, and ADU builds. The homeowners who call us are typically planning something too large for a handyman and too complex for a single-trade contractor. They want material choices that match their budget, not whatever’s in stock at the nearest supplier.
Whole-Home and Phased Renovations
Whole-home remodels here often means re-roofing, re-stucco, window replacement, and interior work scheduled in phases so you can stay in the house where possible. We carry a six-brand roofing portfolio including GAF and CertainTeed, and we install James Hardie fiber-cement siding when stucco is beyond saving.
ADU and Garage Conversion Work
ADU construction in La Habra runs $90,000 to $220,000, and garage conversions fall between $30,000 and $80,000. We work with prefab ADU partners including Abodu and Plant Prefab, which gives you a faster path to permitted square footage than stick-built in many cases, though site conditions on hillside lots still drive the schedule.
Trusted Brands We Service in La Habra
We install and stand behind a curated portfolio of 50+ manufacturer brands, which means your La Habra project gets real material choices, not whatever the contractor bought in bulk. For plumbing fixtures, we handle Sterling and Grohe. For roofing, we carry GAF and CertainTeed. For cabinetry, we order KraftMaid and Wellborn with written allowance documentation so you know the exact number before fabrication starts. Each brand has a documented warranty path, and we manage that process for you.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in La Habra Homes
- Undersized electrical panels from the 1950s and 60s. Many La Habra homes still run on original 100-amp panels. When a kitchen remodel adds a second oven or a room addition adds a mini-split, that panel has to be upgraded before the permit can close.
- Galvanized plumbing that’s living on borrowed time. The original steel pipes in mid-century La Habra tract homes corrode from the inside out. We’ve opened walls and found pipes so restricted that a garden hose would carry more water. Replacement gets scoped before cabinets go in, not after.
- Sloped-lot drainage and retaining wall surprises. On the north side of town toward the Puente Hills, additions frequently need retaining walls and drainage that flat-lot contractors never plan for. Skipping that scope means water against the foundation and a failed inspection later.
- Cabinetry ordered before rough-in is confirmed. When a homeowner or an eager contractor orders KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets before the electrical and plumbing rough-in is done, any discovered panel or pipe problem becomes an emergency. We fix the scope in writing first, then order.
