General Contractor in Madera, CA

North of the river, one contractor runs the job

Madera is the county seat of Madera County, just north of Fresno across the San Joaquin River. From our Fresno office it's a straight run up Highway 99. The city has a real mix of housing, from older homes near the center of town to newer subdivisions on the edges. A general contractor pulls those projects together. We plan the work, book each trade and keep the job moving from demo to final cleanup.

General Contractor work in Madera

Along the 99, Madera has plenty of commercial buildings, and those need work too. A business might need an office reconfigured, a retail space built out, or a new building put up from the slab. Ben-Rick handles commercial new construction and tenant improvements with the same crew leads who handle home remodels. Framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall and finish trades all run through us, so the owner has one person to call.

Every Madera project starts the same way: a conversation, then a walk of the site. After that you get a written scope and estimate that spells out the work. Some projects may need a permit from the City of Madera, and we'll go over that while we're looking at the property. Once the build wraps, we walk it with you and go over every finished room.

Typical projects

Typical general contractor projects in Madera

Splitting a retail building into suites

A property owner near the 99 in Madera has one large retail space that's hard to lease. Two smaller suites might fill faster. Splitting a building like that means a new demising wall, separate entrances, electrical divided so each tenant has its own service, and a restroom for each side. Ben-Rick walks the building with the owner, looks at where plumbing and power come in, and writes a scope that covers each trade in order. A project like this may need a permit from the City of Madera, and we talk through that on the walk. The owner gets two finished suites and one contact during the work.

Front office inside a metal warehouse

A Madera business with a metal warehouse needs a proper front office: a reception counter, a couple of private offices, a break room and a restroom. The shop floor stays open behind it. Metal stud framing works well in a building like this, and we plan the walls around the doors and equipment already in use. The scope covers framing, plumbing for the restroom and break room sink, electrical for lighting and desks, drywall, ceilings, flooring and millwork for the counter. We coordinate each trade so the business can keep running on the warehouse side while the office goes up in front of it.

Move-in refresh on a newly bought house

A family just bought an older house near the center of Madera and wants to fix it up before the moving truck arrives. The list is long but mostly surface: patched drywall, dated texture, worn carpet, tired countertops and hardware that doesn't match. A general contractor can take the whole list and turn it into one schedule. We walk every room with you, note what stays and what goes, and write a scope that follows the house room by room. Demo and cleanup come first, then drywall repairs and texture, then flooring, countertops and hardware. You walk through the finished rooms before the furniture comes in.
