Noel Cardenas leads our team, and he’ll tell you the same thing every honest contractor in the 94110 knows: the quote that looks cheapest on paper is usually the one that explodes six weeks later. We price the work that’s actually in your walls, not the work you hope is there.

Why Garden Grove Contractors Is Mission District’s Preferred General Contractor Company

Mission District homeowners call us because we don’t flinch when a wall comes down and the surprises start. That’s the job. We’ve opened enough 1900s Edwardians and 1920s Victorians along Valencia, Mission, and 24th Street to know what’s waiting behind the original trim: outdated electrical, failed waterproofing, framing that was undersized even when it was new. We budget for it from day one.

Our reputation in this neighborhood comes from showing up when we say we will and writing change orders that make sense. If a rough-in rewire gets triggered by the inspector, you’ll see the exact cost in writing before we touch a wire. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s how we keep jobs moving through the November – March rain window without losing weeks to arguments.

We’re a full-envelope Mission District contractor, which matters when one job keeps revealing the next. The kitchen remodel exposes the soft-story garage. The bathroom job turns into a roof repair. We handle all of it under one contract, so you’re not juggling three crews and three schedules. One contractor. Every phase.

Hire a General Contractor in Mission District

Hire a General Contractor in Mission District when the scope of work spans more than one trade, or when the building is old enough that opening walls will trigger code upgrades. That’s most homes in the 94110. A kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000. Those numbers assume we find what we usually find: knob-and-tube, lath-and-plaster, and at least one structural surprise. The ranges exist because every building is different.

Inspection-First Estimates

We don’t quote a fixed number from a photo. Before we bid, we walk the property, check the garage, open the electrical panel if we can, and look for the telltale signs of unreinforced masonry and outdated wiring. Then we write allowances into the contract for what we know is probably there. If we find something worse, you approve the change order before we proceed.

Written Allowances and Change Orders

Every Mission District remodel gets line-item allowances for knob-and-tube removal, lath-and-plaster demolition, and seismic upgrades. When a surprise surfaces, we price it, you approve it in writing, and work continues. No one works blind. No one gets billed for something nobody discussed.

General Contractor Services in Mission District

General Contractor Services in Mission District means managing the trades, the permits, the materials, and the timeline so you don’t have to. We run kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, room additions, basement finishes, and deck construction. We also handle exterior scopes like roofing, windows, siding, fencing, and hardscape. ADU builds and garage conversions are a big part of our Mission District work, especially with San Francisco pushing accessory units as a housing solution.

An ADU in this neighborhood ranges from $90,000 – $220,000 depending on whether you’re converting an existing garage or building new. A garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. Home additions start around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 for a second-story pop-up on a typical Mission lot.

Permit-Heavy Project Management

Mission District is San Francisco’s oldest neighborhood, settled as Mission Dolores in 1776 and largely rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. That history matters when you file permits. We handle the planning review, the historic-preservation checks on Valencia Street, and the soft-story retrofit filings. You get a contractor who knows the process, not someone learning it on your dime.

Material Sourcing That Fits the Building

We spec materials from brands pros trust, and we match them to the job. For a Mission Victorian, that might be a Therma-Tru entry door that holds up to fog and marine moisture, or Barrette fencing when the back deck needs privacy. For windows on a landmarked facade, we source PGT or James Hardie siding when the exterior needs a full reclad. From the countertop to the roofline, the material gets chosen for performance and warranty, not convenience.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mission District

We maintain direct access to more than 50 manufacturer brands across six trade categories, which means Mission District customers aren’t stuck with whatever one supplier has in the yard. Need a Therma-Tru door that won’t warp in the fog? We can get it. ViewLux windows for a three-story Edwardian with strict facade requirements? Sourced. Barrette or Master Halco fencing for a rear yard off 24th Street? Ordered and delivered. Because we keep these relationships active, turnaround on materials stays tight, even during the busy spring dry-out when every contractor in the 94110 is pulling permits at once.

Common General Contractor Problems We See in Mission District Homes

• Knob-and-tube wiring behind original lath-and-plaster. Opening a wall for a kitchen or bath remodel almost always reveals wiring that violates current code. The inspector will flag it, and you’ll need a rough-in rewire before drywall goes back up.
• Soft-story garages under Edwardian flats. San Francisco’s mandatory retrofit ordinance covers many Mission District buildings with tuck-under garages. If your project touches the ground floor, expect the retrofit to enter the scope of work.
• Unreinforced masonry on older brick buildings. Some Mission structures predate modern seismic code, especially along the older commercial corridors. A remodel that opens these walls triggers engineering review and sometimes full reinforcement.
• Wood rot and paint failure from constant marine moisture. The fog off the bay keeps siding and trim damp for months at a time. We routinely replace rotted fascia and failed waterproofing before any cosmetic work begins.
