Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across San Martin
General contracting in San Martin means managing a project from the first permit application through final inspection and closeout. Most of the homes here sit on well and septic systems, and nearly every permit goes through Santa Clara County rather than a local building department. That changes timelines, scope decisions, and how we sequence work. Seaside Contractors plans around those realities from day one. If you’re weighing a kitchen remodel, a ranch house addition, or an ADU on your property, call (833) 589-8103 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your project will actually take.
Why Seaside Contractors Is San Martin’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We work throughout the 95046 zip code, from the equestrian properties off Llagas Road to the older ranch homes near San Martin Avenue. The work here is different from what you’d see in Morgan Hill or Gilroy. Lots are larger, houses are older, and utilities are rural. Our General Contractor team has managed additions on properties with propane lines, aging septics, and well pumps that couldn’t move. That experience means we know which questions to ask before excavation starts, not after.
Glen Sorrento leads the team, and he keeps one rule consistent on every San Martin job: scope is locked in writing before we order anything with a long lead time. Homeowners tell us they appreciate that we don’t promise a start date that county plan review can’t support. We’d rather tell you the truth about a county timeline than make you wait on a schedule that was never realistic.
We’re licensed and insured, and we pull every permit the job requires. No shortcuts on county inspection. No change orders that should have been anticipated in the scope. No surprises at the final walkthrough.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in San Martin
Remodeling contractor work in San Martin runs a wide cost range because the housing stock is so varied. A mid-century ranch kitchen on a flat acre off Fitzgerald Avenue is a different job than a custom farmhouse near Eureka Drive. A kitchen remodel in San Martin typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. Those numbers assume standard framing and finish replacement. The moment we’re relocating plumbing, upgrading a panel, or working around a septic line, the scope changes and the price adjusts.
Kitchen and Bath Scope
Cabinet installation in San Martin runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation adds $2,000 to $6,500. We keep material choices flexible: a KraftMaid cabinet line with Cambria quartz reads differently than a value-engineered setup, but both get installed to the same standard. The hidden work matters more in these older homes. We shore up floors, straighten walls, and reroute plumbing before the first cabinet box gets set.
Structural and Finish Work
Many San Martin remodels involve removing a wall or adjusting a roof line. That’s where our full-scope capability matters. We handle the structural engineering, the framing, the drywall, the tile, and the trim. You’re not managing four phone numbers. One team does the whole job.
Licensed General Contractor in San Martin
A licensed general contractor in San Martin has to understand county permitting. Every structural change, addition, or ADU requires Santa Clara County plan review, and that review often adds two to four weeks before work starts. Contractors used to Morgan Hill or Gilroy city permitting sometimes miss that. We don’t. It’s baked into every schedule we quote. A home addition in San Martin typically runs $45,000 to $130,000. An ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000. Those ranges reflect the rural utility work, septic considerations, and county inspections that come with the territory.
Additions and ADUs
Adding square footage on a ranch lot means thinking about where the leach field sits, whether the well pump can handle another bathroom, and how the new roofline ties into the existing ridge. We work with prefab ADU manufacturers including Abodu, Dvele, and Boxabl, but the site work, foundation, and utility rough-in stay with our crew from permit to final.
Project Leadership
From blueprint to final walkthrough, one project manager owns your schedule, budget, and inspections. Glen Sorrento reviews every change order personally. That’s the difference between a job that drifts and a job that closes.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Martin
We specify materials by brand because we know which ones hold up in San Martin’s warm inland summers and wet winters. For cabinetry, we install KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertops, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Plumbing fixtures from Toto and American Standard come up often in San Martin remodels, and we use Schluter waterproofing systems behind tile in every shower and wet area we build. If you want Sterling fixtures because the budget matters more than the label, we’ll match the material to the project and tell you honestly where the extra money buys real longevity. Parts and warranty support are handled through our vetted supplier network, so San Martin homeowners aren’t calling three different vendors when something needs attention.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in San Martin Homes
San Martin’s housing stock tells a story, and we’ve learned to read it before we open walls. These are the recurring issues we find on properties in the 95046 zip code:
- County permit timelines get underestimated. Because San Martin is unincorporated, every construction permit goes through Santa Clara County. Rural plan reviews take two to four weeks longer than city reviews, and contractors who quote with Morgan Hill timelines end up slipping the start date.
- Well and septic systems get discovered late. Older ranch homes often have wells and septic tanks that are undersized for the project. If we don’t flag them during planning, you’re redesigning the rough-in after excavation. That’s a five-figure conversation nobody wants to have.
- Long-lead items get ordered without a signed scope. Custom cabinetry and architectural glass can take eight to twelve weeks to arrive. If the scope and allowances aren’t locked before ordering, price changes hit mid-project and the budget drifts. We fix the price in writing first.
- Wildfire smoke and seasonal groundwater affect material choices. Dry summers and occasional smoke push us toward materials that don’t off-gas or warp in heat. Seasonal groundwater changes affect drainage design around foundations and driveways. These aren’t generic concerns; they’re built into how we specify.

FAQs About General Contractor in San Martin
Yes. San Martin is unincorporated, so every construction permit goes through Santa Clara County, not a city building department. For structural changes, additions, ADUs, and most remodels, you’ll need county plan review and inspections. That review often adds two to four weeks before work starts. We handle the full permit package and manage the county process from submittal to sign-off. Call (833) 589-8103 if you want a straight answer on what your specific project will need.
They affect everything from bathroom count to fixture placement. Many San Martin homes run on wells and septics, and adding a bathroom or moving a kitchen can overload an existing system. We evaluate the well flow and leach field capacity early, before design is locked, so you’re not redesigning rough-ins after excavation. This is routine for us on ranch properties. If you’re unsure whether your system can support your addition, call
Custom cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn typically runs eight to twelve weeks from order to delivery. That lead time often sets the entire schedule on a high-end San Martin remodel. We lock the scope and allowances in writing before ordering, then build the construction sequence around the cabinetry arrival. On a job off Llagas Road, the 12-week cabinet lead time dictated the whole calendar, and we kept the client informed at every milestone with a draw schedule. Call
We fix the scope and allowance amounts in writing before any long-lead items are ordered. If you add something later, you get a written change order with price before work proceeds. No surprises at the end. On that Llagas Road kitchen, the scope was locked before the cabinetry order went in, and the county sign-off cleared with no change orders. Call
Yes. We work directly with your designer and architect from the first set of drawings through final inspection. On a custom San Martin ranch project, our crew coordinated with the homeowner’s designer and architect to fit KraftMaid cabinetry around a load-bearing wall that couldn’t move. That coordination kept the schedule intact and the punch list closed in two days. Call

What San Martin Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners across San Martin and surrounding areas.
"Framing crew was meticulous and the walls are straight everywhere. Drywall goes on a lot better when the framing is right."
"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
