Ben-Rick Construction Inc.

General Contractor in Fresno, CA

One crew lead for every trade on your Fresno job

Fresno is home base for Ben-Rick Construction Inc. Our office sits at 352 W Bedford Ave Ste 118, so a site visit in the central neighborhoods or out in north Fresno is a short drive. As a general contractor, we run the whole job. That means lining up the concrete crew, the framers, the plumber and the electrician, then the drywall and finish trades, in the order the work needs them. You call one number. We handle the rest of the schedule.

General Contractor work in Fresno

The work here is as mixed as the city. An older central Fresno house might need a kitchen and bath rebuilt around plumbing that's been patched for decades. A newer north Fresno home might need an addition off the back. Along the commercial corridors, offices and retail centers need tenant improvements and franchise build-outs built to brand plans. One Class B license covers all of it, and the same team keeps each trade moving.

Before a single wall comes down, you get a written scope and estimate. It lists what we'll build and which trades are involved, so you know exactly what's included. Projects start around $5,000. Larger jobs, like a custom home or a restaurant build-out, may need a permit from the City of Fresno, and we'll talk through what that looks like during the site walk. At the end we walk the finished work with you.

Typical projects

Typical general contractor projects in Fresno

Garage converted into a bedroom suite

A homeowner in an older central Fresno house has a two-car garage full of boxes and a family that needs one more bedroom. Converting that garage is a real construction job. The slab gets checked and leveled, new walls are framed where the garage door used to be, and the electrician adds circuits, outlets and lighting. If a bath fits, the plumber ties new lines into the existing system. We walk the space with you, measure it, and write up a scope that lists each trade before anyone starts demo. Sheetrock, texture, trim and flooring come last, so the room reads like it was always part of the house.

Vacant office suite ready for a tenant

A property manager in north Fresno has an empty office suite and a new tenant who wants a different floor plan. Their list is usually specific: two private offices, a larger conference room, a break area with a sink, and fresh finishes throughout. Ben-Rick walks the suite with the manager and, when possible, the tenant too. The written scope covers demo of old partitions, metal stud framing, electrical changes for new desks and lighting, plumbing for the break area, then drywall, paint-ready finish and flooring. The manager gets one contact who reports progress, which makes it easier to give the tenant a straight answer about where things stand.

Small business rebuild after a loss

A shop owner along one of Fresno's commercial corridors comes in one morning to find part of the space damaged after a loss. They need to reopen, and they need an estimate the insurance adjuster can work with. We walk the space, document what was damaged, and prepare an itemized repair scope that lines up with how the adjuster reviews a claim. Once the work is approved, demo and cleanup clear the damaged areas. Framing, electrical, sheetrock and finishes follow in order. The owner gets one person to call with questions, and the job closes with a walkthrough of the repaired space before customers come back in.

FAQ

General Contractor in Fresno: questions

I've got an older house in central Fresno and every room needs something. Can one contractor handle all of it?

Yes. As a general contractor we can plan the kitchen, bath and other rooms as one project and schedule the trades in a sensible order. You get one written scope for the whole house, so you can see the full picture before work starts.

We're opening a small office in a Fresno retail center. Can you do the build-out and coordinate everything?

We can. Tenant improvements are a regular part of our commercial work, from framing new walls to electrical, plumbing and finishes. We'll walk the space, review your layout and give you a written scope before anything starts.

My insurance adjuster wants an itemized estimate for the damage to our Fresno house. Is that something you put together?

Yes. We prepare an itemized repair scope and estimate, then coordinate with your adjuster so everyone is looking at the same numbers. Once the claim is settled, we rebuild the damaged areas and do a final walkthrough with you.

I'm in north Fresno and we're thinking about adding a bedroom. Who handles the plumbing and electrical on that?

We do, as part of the addition. The foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall and finish work are all scheduled by us, so you're never chasing separate trades. It all goes into one scope.

How do I know what's actually included before a Fresno contractor starts tearing things apart?

Ask for a written scope. Ours lists the work, the trades involved and the finishes before anything begins. If something comes up that isn't in the scope, we talk about it with you first.

Our restaurant franchise has strict brand plans. Can a Fresno general contractor build to those?

Yes. Franchise build-outs follow the brand's plans and standards, and we build to them. We review the plans early, walk the space and coordinate each trade so the finished store matches what the brand expects.

I don't want five different crews calling me. Will I have one contact for my Fresno remodel?

You will. One point of contact handles your questions, the schedule and updates. The trades report to us, and we report to you.

Is a $5,000 bathroom refresh too small for a general contractor in Fresno?

Projects start around $5,000, so a bathroom can be a good fit. We'll walk the room with you and put the scope in writing so you know what that budget covers. Call (559) 257-2397 to set up a visit.

We're planning a custom home on a lot in Fresno. Where does a general contractor start?

With a conversation about what you want to build and a walk of the lot. From there we put together a written scope and estimate, then line up the foundation, framing and every trade after that. A new home inside city limits may need a permit from the City of Fresno.

Can I stop by the Bedford Ave office to go over my plans in person?

Sure. The office is at 352 W Bedford Ave Ste 118, open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Call ahead so the right person is there to sit down with you.
