Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Lompico
General contractor work in Lompico usually falls into two buckets: a remodel of an older cabin that has been added onto for decades, or a new build on a steep canyon lot with well and septic complications. We handle both from the first site visit through Santa Cruz County final inspection. Call (833) 589-8103 to schedule a free estimate. We know the mountain roads here, and we know what these hillside properties throw at you once the walls come open.
Lompico is not a flat-lot suburb. Almost every project we start in this community touches a slope, a septic system, a well, or a fire-safety requirement that a Santa Clara Valley contractor might never see. That is the work we do every week. One contractor. Every trade.
Why Seaside Contractors Is Lompico’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners in Lompico call us because we show up prepared for what is behind the wood siding. Our bids account for the electrical, framing, drainage, and fire-hardening realities of the San Lorenzo Valley before we open a wall. We do not write flat-price bids that assume a 1990s tract house. That is a useful difference here, because a hidden knob-and-tube circuit or an undersized beam changes scope quickly, and you want a contractor who planned for it.
Glen Sorrento leads the team, and he has spent enough time on Lompico hillsides to know that drainage and access matter as much as finish material. Our customers in the canyon appreciate that we sequence inspections so the job does not stall out waiting on county sign-off. We also coordinate the geotechnical, percolation, and well-yield work that unincorporated lots demand. That coordination is where remodel timelines go sideways, and it is exactly where we keep the schedule honest.

General Contractor Services in Lompico
General Contractor Services in Lompico mean full ownership of the job: structural renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, additions, and ADUs. When a homeowner off Lompico Canyon Road or Riva Ridge Drive calls us, we typically find a house that was owner-built in the 1960s through the 1980s, added onto in phases, and never brought up to current code. Our job is to plan the remodel around what is actually there, not what the listing photos suggested.
Kitchen and bath remodels on canyon lots
A kitchen remodel on a Lompico hillside usually runs $14,000 to $45,000, with small kitchens starting around $9,000. Because many of these homes sit on steep grades, we often incorporate drainage corrections and structural reinforcement into the same permit. Bath remodels run $9,000 to $28,000, and walk-in showers built with Schluter waterproofing generally fall between $4,500 and $12,000. That behind-the-wall work is what separates a lasting remodel from one that rots in the redwood damp.
Additions and fire-safe upgrades
A home addition in Lompico ranges from $45,000 to $130,000, and it almost always involves slope engineering. The county will not issue a permit without defensible-space clearing and, on most lots, upgraded seismic tie-downs. We write those into the scope from day one.
If you need a full renovation or an addition, start with our General Contractor team. We will walk the lot, map the access, and tell you what the permit will actually require before you spend money on plans.

Construction Company in Lompico
Construction Company work in Lompico is different from the valley floor. Many homes were built without formal subdivision maps, which means percolation tests and well-yield verification come before the building permit. That pre-permit sequence adds months to a project compared to neighboring Scotts Valley, and it is the single biggest scheduling surprise for homeowners new to the canyon. We handle it as a standard part of the pre-construction phase, not as an afterthought.
ADU construction on septic lots
An ADU in Lompico generally runs $90,000 to $220,000, and on a private septic system the county may require a new leach field or a system expansion before the structure is approved. We work with prefab manufacturers like Abodu and Dvele, but the septic and well work is site-specific. We manage that in-house so you are not chasing a septic contractor and a foundation contractor separately.
Deck and ravine work
Many Lompico decks are built over ravines, which means structural posts, lateral bracing, and fire-resistant decking are not optional upgrades. We rebuild decks to current Santa Cruz County code, and we time the final inspection so the deck and defensible-space work pass together.
For the full scope from blueprint to final walkthrough, our General Contractor in Lompico team handles permits, site work, structure, and finishes under one contract.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lompico
Material choice matters more in Lompico than in a dry inland subdivision. Damp redwood shade, winter rain, and wildfire exposure mean the wrong cabinet or countertop spec fails early. We supply and install American Standard and Toto plumbing fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and Sterling bath products, alongside kitchen lines like KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops. You get the full material conversation with one contractor, not a list of products you have to chase down yourself. We will match the material to the project.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Lompico Homes
- Outdated wiring behind original walls. Knob-and-tube spliced into romex is common in 1970s owner-built cabins. A remodel permit will trigger an electrical upgrade, so we inspect first and write an allowance for it.
- Undersized or damaged framing. Owner-built homes often have beams that were adequate in 1975 but not for current deck and snow-load requirements. We sister and reinforce before closing walls.
- Failed waterproofing on wet hillsides. Redwood-shade damp and saturated slopes rot poorly flashed decks and bathrooms. Schluter systems go behind every tile surface we install.
- Septic and well limits on additions. Many Lompico lots cannot support a second dwelling without a percolation test and well-yield verification. We start that process before plans are finalized.

FAQs About General Contractor in Lompico
No, and we would not trust a contractor who does. A fixed bid on a 1970s owner-built Lompico cabin means the contractor either priced in damage they have not seen or plans to hit you with change orders later. We inspect first, then write allowances for electrical, framing, and waterproofing into the contract. Each change order gets priced and signed before work starts. Call (833) 589-8103 to schedule the inspection.
A room addition on a Lompico lot usually requires defensible-space clearing, upgraded seismic tie-downs, and a percolation test if the current septic system will serve the added square footage. On informally subdivided lots, well-yield verification may also be required before the building permit is issued. We sequence that pre-permit work so your plans are not rejected at the counter. Call (833) 589-8103 for a site review.
You should expect a written change order with a fixed price, signed by you before we touch the work. On a project off Highway 9, we opened a kitchen wall and found knob-and-tube spliced into newer romex plus a beam that was undersized for its span. We priced the electrical rough-in and a sistered beam the same day, got county inspection sign-off on the framing before closing the wall, and then completed the kitchen with KraftMaid cabinets and a Cambria countertop. No surprises. Just documented scope changes.
Yes. A ravine deck in Lompico requires engineered footings, lateral bracing, and fire-resistant decking to pass Santa Cruz County inspection. We handle the structural design, permitting, demolition, and rebuild, and we time the final deck inspection with defensible-space requirements so the project closes cleanly. Call (833) 589-8103 for a ravine deck evaluation.
An allowance is a budgeted line item for work we know is likely but cannot fully quantify until walls are open, such as rewiring a circuit or replacing rotted rim joists. If the allowance is not used, you keep the difference. If it is exceeded, you approve the overage in writing before we proceed. In Lompico, allowances are almost always used, because older owner-built homes hide problems. We prepare you for that before you sign.
