General Contractor in Clovis, CA

Keeping a Clovis project on one schedule

Clovis sits right on the northeast edge of Fresno, a short drive from our office. Much of the city is newer subdivisions, and those homes tend to come to us with specific asks: a bigger kitchen, a bath that finally works for two people, a room added over the side yard. As the general contractor, Ben-Rick plans the job and then books each trade in turn, from framing through countertops and flooring.

General Contractor work in Clovis

Old Town Clovis and the city's growing commercial base bring a different kind of work. A shop owner moving into an older storefront may need new walls, updated electrical and restrooms. A franchise coming into a new center needs its build-out done to the brand's plans. We handle tenant improvements and commercial new construction under the same Class B license, and the City of Clovis building department is where permits for those projects typically go.

Here's how it runs. You tell us what you want, we walk the property, and you get a written scope and estimate before anyone picks up a tool. During the build you have one contact who knows where every trade stands. When the last piece of trim is on, we walk through it together and go over the finished work.

Typical projects

Typical general contractor projects in Clovis

Formal living room becomes a home office

Plenty of newer Clovis homes have a formal living room by the front door that nobody sits in. A couple who both work from home might want it turned into a real office with a door, built-in shelving and enough outlets for two desks. We look at the opening, the lighting and where the nearest circuits run. The written scope covers framing a wall and door, electrical rough-in and finish, sheetrock and texture to match, then millwork for the built-ins and the hardware to finish them. It's a smaller project, but it still involves several trades, and scheduling them in order keeps the house livable while it happens.

Finishing a bare commercial shell

A business owner signs a lease in one of Clovis's newer commercial buildings and gets the keys to a bare shell: a slab, exterior walls and very little else. It might become a fitness studio, a professional office or a small clinic. Ben-Rick starts with the owner's layout and walks the empty space to see where utilities come in. From there the scope spells out metal stud framing, plumbing for restrooms and any sinks, a new electrical layout, ceilings, drywall and floor finishes. When a permit applies, the City of Clovis building department is where that review happens. The owner has one contact from layout to walkthrough.

Downstairs bedroom for a family member

A two-story Clovis house works fine until someone in the family can't manage the stairs every day. The fix is often a bedroom and full bath on the ground floor, carved out of a den, a bonus area or part of the garage. We walk the first floor with you and look at where plumbing can reach and which walls can move. The scope then lists framing, plumbing rough-in and top-out, electrical, sheetrock, a shower with an easy step-in, and floor finishes that match the rest of the level. One person coordinates every trade, so you can focus on the family member who needs the room.

FAQ

General Contractor in Clovis: questions

Our Clovis subdivision home feels cramped now that the kids are bigger. Can you add a room onto the back?

Often, yes. We'll look at the lot, the roofline and where the addition would tie in. Then you get a written scope that covers the foundation, framing, electrical and finishes.

I just leased a storefront in Old Town Clovis. Who coordinates the electrical, plumbing and walls for the build-out?

We do. As the general contractor on a tenant improvement, we schedule each trade and keep the work moving in the right order. You deal with one contact the whole way.

We're bringing a franchise into a new Clovis shopping center. Can you work from the corporate plans?

Yes. We build franchise locations to the brand's plans and standards. We'll review the drawings, walk the space and give you a written scope before work starts.

My kitchen in Clovis isn't old, but the layout's awful. Is a remodel worth it for a newer house?

It can be. A newer kitchen often has good bones and just needs the sink, range or island moved. We'll walk the room with you and show in writing what a new layout would involve.

Can a general contractor in Clovis handle a whole-house update while we still live there?

Many families stay home during a remodel. We plan the work in phases where it makes sense and keep the work area separated and cleaned up. We'll talk through how that would work for your house during the site visit.

I'm worried about subs not showing up. How does scheduling work on a Clovis remodel?

Scheduling the trades is our job. We line up framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall and finishes in order and stay in touch with each crew. If something changes, you hear it from your one contact.

Does the City of Clovis need to see plans for my addition?

An addition may need a permit from the City of Clovis building department. We'll talk about what your project likely involves during the site walk, and the written scope will show the work that's planned.

We had a loss at our Clovis house and the adjuster's coming soon. Should I call you first?

Calling early helps. We can walk the damage, prepare an itemized repair scope and coordinate with the adjuster. Reach us at (559) 257-2397, Monday through Friday.

Our office in Clovis needs new walls and lighting to fit more staff. Is that a job you'd take on?

Yes, that's a tenant improvement, and it's regular work for us. We'll look at the space, plan the framing and electrical, and cover the drywall and finishes in one written scope.

I'd like a new bathroom and a laundry room upgrade at the same time. Can those be one project?

They can. Combining them in one scope usually makes scheduling easier, since the same plumber and electrician can move through both rooms in sequence. We'll put it all in writing before work starts.
