Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Lompico
Most Lompico remodels start with a simple question: what’s actually behind these walls? We answer that before we ever swing a hammer. Daly City Construction handles the full scope of a General Contractor project under one license, from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. Call (866) 505-5254 when you’re ready to talk through your project, or keep reading to understand how we work in this canyon.
Why Daly City Construction Is Lompico’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Noel Cabrera has built Daly City Construction around a simple idea: one contractor, every phase. That matters more in Lompico than in a flat suburban tract. Your project might need framing corrections, electrical updates, drainage, a roof, and a retaining wall. That’s our normal scope, not an exception.
Lompico homeowners call us because we understand what happens when you open up a cabin built in 1962 and expanded three times since. The framing isn’t always square. The additions don’t always tie in correctly. The foundation may be pier-and-grade with a crawl space that hasn’t seen daylight in decades. When you call (866) 505-5254, you get a contractor who plans for that reality instead of acting surprised halfway through the job.
Our reputation in the San Lorenzo Valley comes from writing honest allowances, documenting what we find, and pricing changes before the work happens. That’s the only way to remodel responsibly in a place where owner-built additions are the norm, not the exception.
Styles & brands we work with







Residential General Contractor in Lompico
A residential General Contractor in Lompico takes on what most people assume requires three or four separate companies: structural work, finishes, roofing, drainage, and everything between. The job starts with an inspection of what you have, not just what you want. On Lompico’s older cabins, that first look usually turns up non-standard framing, outdated wiring, or failed waterproofing. We document it, price it, and get your approval in writing before we proceed.
Kitchen remodels in Lompico typically run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on what we find when the walls come down. A bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. Those ranges assume code corrections and the structural surprises common to this housing stock, which is why our quotes always include written allowances instead of optimistic low numbers.
Structural Discovery First
Before any demolition, we map what exists. That means checking load paths, verifying header sizes over doors and windows, and looking at how additions tie into the original cabin. On a recent job off Highway 9, we found a sistered-but-undersized load-bearing header concealed above a bathroom. We priced the correction, got approval, and only then pulled permits. That sequence protects your budget.
Permit-Ready Documentation
Santa Cruz County permitting for Lompico properties can require structural, electrical, and drainage upgrades you didn’t plan for. We document existing conditions, flag what a permit will trigger, and write those corrections into your allowance schedule. You’ll know before the inspector shows up what the real scope is.
Hire a General Contractor in Lompico
When you hire a General Contractor in Lompico, you’re hiring someone to manage the entire build, not just swing a hammer. On a steep lot with a private drive, that coordination is half the job. Concrete trucks often can’t reach the build site, so we schedule pumper trucks or mini-mixers. Winter storms turn unpaved drives into washouts, so drainage and retaining scope are part of the plan from day one.
A home addition in Lompico runs $45,000 – $130,000. A roof replacement is $8,000 – $20,000. Those numbers mean something here because access, site prep, and structural surprises on sloped lots are real variables, not line items you can copy from a flatlands quote.
Access Engineering Done Right
If your driveway can’t handle a full-size concrete truck, we don’t pretend it can. We line up the right equipment, sequence deliveries around weather, and keep the job moving. That’s the difference between a project that stalls in November and one that closes up before the rains really hit.
Drainage and Retaining Accountability
Your remodel doesn’t stop at the foundation line. On Lompico’s sloped lots, water moves downhill through your property and into your neighbor’s. We scope drainage, retaining walls, and driveway stability as part of the build, not an afterthought. One contractor, every phase, including the ones you can’t see from the road.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lompico
We install and service a deep bench of manufacturer products, and that matters when you’re making finish decisions on a cabin remodel. Need a roof that handles redwood canopy moisture and winter rain? We spec GAF or CertainTeed systems with the right underlayment for high-humidity conditions. Redoing a bathroom? Grohe and Sterling fixtures give you options from value-tier to premium without leaving the quote. We coordinate parts and delivery for Lompico jobs, so you’re not driving down to Santa Cruz for a trim piece.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Lompico Homes
- Owner-built framing that doesn’t match the plans. Mid-century Lompico cabins were frequently expanded by owners without permits, which means load paths, header sizes, and floor framing often don’t meet current code. We document what exists before we touch it, then price corrections as written allowances.
- Outdated wiring behind finished walls. Knob-and-tube or undersized circuits are common in redwood-era homes. Once we open a wall, code may require a panel upgrade or circuit replacement. That’s a permit trigger we flag before work starts, not after your bathroom is half demoed.
- Failed waterproofing in bathrooms and decks. High humidity under the redwood canopy rots improperly flashed framing. We rebuild wet areas with Schluter waterproofing systems and properly sloped pans so the fix lasts.
- Steep drive access stopping material delivery. Concrete trucks, drywall deliveries, and framing packages don’t always make it up a Lompico private drive. We plan for pumper trucks, mini-mixers, and smaller delivery vehicles early in the schedule.

FAQs About General Contractor in Lompico
Because most Lompico cabins were owner-built and expanded without permits, which means the framing, wiring, and waterproofing behind your walls frequently don’t meet current code.

We manage that with written allowances in the contract, plus a rule: any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (866) 505-5254 to schedule an inspection that gives you a real number.
We plan access before we schedule the work. If a full-size concrete truck can’t make your drive, we book a pumper truck or line up mini-mixers for smaller pours. Framing packages and drywall get sequenced into smaller, maneuverable deliveries. That planning is part of our quote, not an extra charge you discover mid-project. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate that accounts for your actual driveway.
Yes. Any remodel that affects structural framing, electrical, plumbing, or the building envelope in Lompico requires permits through Santa Cruz County. The trigger is often what you find once walls are open, like non-permitted framing or outdated wiring that must be brought to code. We handle the permitting, schedule inspections, and make sure the work passes. Call (866) 505-5254 to talk through what your specific scope will trigger.
A contract that includes a written scope of work, a payment schedule, an allowance schedule for discovered conditions, and a process for change orders. The allowance schedule is what protects you when we find non-permitted framing or failed waterproofing. Every change gets priced and approved in writing before we proceed. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll walk you through exactly what our contract covers.
We scope it into the project from day one. Because Lompico sits in a redwood canyon with heavy winter rain and steep slopes, drainage and retaining walls aren’t optional add-ons. We design for surface water flow, stabilize slopes where needed, and make sure your driveway and foundation stay dry year-round. Call (866) 505-5254 to get drainage scope included in your free estimate, not bolted on later.
