Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Las Lomas
If you live in Las Lomas and you’re planning a remodel, a room addition, or a full exterior replacement, you need a contractor who knows what this valley does to buildings. Salt air, coastal fog, and wet winters wreck the wrong materials fast. We’ve seen it too many times to count. San Mateo Construction serves the 95076 corridor with honest pricing, brand-name materials, and one accountable team from roofline to foundation. Call Noel Carrington’s crew at (855) 901-7266 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk your property with you before you commit to anything.
Why San Mateo Construction Is Las Lomas’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Las Lomas isn’t a subdivision town. Most of the homes here are older ranch-style houses, former farmworker housing, and scattered parcels off dirt roads. That changes how we bid jobs, what we spec, and how we schedule. We know that a re-roof on an ag-adjacent lot means pulling permits through Monterey County, not a city desk. We know that dirt-road access can limit what a delivery truck can bring in. And we know that the coastal fog off the Pajaro Valley sits on exterior wood for weeks at a time.
Noel Carrington has built San Mateo Construction around single-source accountability. When we re-roof your house, replace your windows, and rebuild your kitchen, you’re not juggling three crews and three contracts. You call one number, and we manage scheduling, materials, subcontractors, and inspections. Homeowners in Las Lomas keep telling us the same thing: they want one person who answers the phone when something goes sideways. That’s how we work.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Las Lomas
A Remodeling Contractor in Las Lomas does more than swap finishes. Here, we’re frequently opening up walls in houses built sixty or seventy years ago for farmworkers, which means outdated wiring, settling foundations, and framing that’s been damp for decades. A kitchen remodel in Las Lomas typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and a bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. If you’re converting a tub to a walk-in shower, budget $3,500 to $10,000. We walk each job before quoting, because two ranch houses on the same road can have wildly different conditions behind the drywall.
Kitchen and Bathroom Scope
We help you choose cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone, and plumbing fixtures from Kohler, Grohe, Toto, Moen, Delta, or American Standard. That means you get a curated selection rather than whatever a supplier happened to have on hand. A small kitchen remodel starts around $9,000, with cabinet installation at $4,000 to $13,000 and countertops at $2,000 to $6,500. Backsplash work runs $800 to $2,500, and a kitchen island is $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size and finish.
Whole-Home and Additions
When a Las Lomas homeowner needs a room addition or a full home remodel, the scope usually includes structural work, not just finishes. Home additions here typically run $45,000 to $130,000. ADU construction lands between $90,000 and $220,000, and a garage conversion is $30,000 to $80,000. We’re one of the few contractors in this area that can build an ADU through modern manufacturer partnerships like Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Plant Prefab, and Boxabl, alongside traditional stick-built work.
Licensed General Contractor in Las Lomas
A Licensed General Contractor in Las Lomas carries the permit burden, the scheduling, and the quality control across every trade on the job. That matters more here than in a tract-home city, because most work happens on unincorporated Monterey County parcels where well and septic permitting, grading on sloped agricultural lots, and farm-equipment access all shape the project. A roof replacement in Las Lomas runs $8,000 to $20,000. Window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000. We pull permits, pass inspections, and keep one team accountable from demo day to final walkthrough.
Exterior Systems and Structural Work
We spec roofing from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. Windows and doors come from PGT and Therma-Tru. Siding is James Hardie. Fencing uses Master Halco or Ameristar. Hardscaping pulls from Belgard, Unilock, and Techo-Bloc. If you’re putting a new paver driveway on a sloped Las Lomas lot, that’s $7,000 to $18,000, and the base prep matters more than the pavers themselves. A vinyl fence is $3,500 to $9,000. An aluminum fence runs $4,000 to $10,000.
Driveways, Patios, and Hardscape
Wet Pajaro Valley winters mean base drainage is everything. Paver driveways need sealed joints and proper slope, or water works under the pavers and the whole surface shifts by year three. A paver patio runs $3,500 to $11,000. Concrete driveways are $4,500 to $12,000, asphalt paving is $3,500 to $9,000, replacement is $5,000 to $14,000, and sealing is $250 to $700. Ask us about joint sealants before you sign anything. The cheap spec skips it, and you’ll pay for it within a decade.
Trusted Brands We Service in Las Lomas
We keep relationships with over 50 name-brand suppliers so your project doesn’t depend on whatever the local yard happens to stock that week. For windows and doors, we work with PGT, Therma-Tru, ECO Window Systems, and Mr-Glass. For roofing, GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. For cabinetry, KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertops, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. For plumbing, Kohler, Grohe, Toto, Moen, Delta, and American Standard. Noel Carrington built San Mateo Construction this way because homeowners deserve vetted material options, not upcharges on mystery brands. We help you choose, and we stand behind what we install.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Las Lomas Homes
- Rusted exterior fasteners. Electro-galvanized nails and brackets corrode in salt air within a few years. We spec stainless-steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware on every exterior project, because the inland-spec stuff simply doesn’t survive here.
- Failing windows from salt and UV exposure. Standard vinyl windows crack, fade, and warp in this microclimate. We recommend impact-rated or aluminum-clad units with marine-grade finishes, like those from PGT, Therma-Tru, or ViewLux.
- Paver driveways with skipped joint sealants. Water gets into the unsealed joints, undermines the base, and the driveway shifts during wet winters. Sealed joints and proper drainage are not optional on Las Lomas ag parcels.
- Older farmworker homes with latent structural issues. Many of these houses were built fast and cheap decades ago. When we open walls for a remodel, we often find undersized framing, deteriorated sill plates, and wiring that needs full replacement before finishes go in.

The Salt Air Problem: Materials That Fail Early in Las Lomas
On a ranch-style home off Las Lomas Drive, we replaced a rotting fence where standard galvanized nails had rusted through in under five years. The salt air had corroded them from the inside out. We switched to hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails and stainless-steel brackets, and the new fence has held up three winters without a single loose post. That’s not an upgrade for the sake of selling you something. That’s the minimum spec for this microclimate.
The coastal fog and wet winters keep exterior wood damp for weeks at a time. Inland crews can get away with electro-galvanized fasteners because their wood actually dries between rains. Las Lomas doesn’t give you that. So we specify stainless-steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners and marine-grade finishes on every exterior job. It costs more up front. It costs far less than tearing out a deck or fence in year six.
The same logic applies to windows. Standard vinyl units crack and discolor under months of salt and UV exposure. That’s why we recommend impact-rated or aluminum-clad windows with marine-grade finishes, like PGT, Therma-Tru, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, or ViewLux. The price gap between a coastal-spec window package and an inland-spec one is usually 15 to 25 percent. The inland version fails faster here. You pay for the coastal spec now, or you pay for replacement windows and repair work in a decade. The second option always costs more.
Paver driveways and patios have their own Las Lomas failure mode. Unsealed joints let water into the base during wet winters. The base shifts, the surface heaves, and you’ve got a $7,000 to $18,000 driveway that looks ten years old in three. We seal every joint and slope every surface for drainage. The sealant is a few hundred dollars. The repair is thousands.

FAQs About General Contractor in Las Lomas
We use stainless-steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every exterior project in Las Lomas, because salt air and wet winters corrode standard electro-galvanized hardware within a few years. This costs more up front, but it eliminates the fence, deck, and roof sheathing failures we see constantly on homes that used cheap fasteners. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll show you the difference on your own property.
Coastal fog and salt air crack and discolor standard vinyl windows, so we recommend impact-rated or aluminum-clad units with marine-grade finishes, from brands like PGT, Therma-Tru, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, or ViewLux. Expect to pay 15 to 25 percent more than inland-spec vinyl. The cheap option fails in this climate. Call (855) 901-7266 for a window quote with the right spec.
Yes, most fence and driveway projects in Las Lomas require permits through Monterey County because the area is unincorporated, and many lots are on septic and well systems that restrict where you can excavate. We handle the permitting, including grading review on sloped ag parcels. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project needs.
A coastal-spec roof in Las Lomas typically runs 10 to 20 percent more than an inland-spec roof due to stainless-steel fasteners, marine-grade flashing, and additional underlayment for the wet Pajaro Valley winters. A standard roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000. The coastal-spec version prevents the early rust-through and leak failures we see on cheap-spec roofs within five years. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact number.
Yes, we remodel kitchens in older farmworker homes throughout Las Lomas, and most of the time we are also replacing outdated wiring, reinforcing settling framing, and correcting water damage before we install the new cabinetry and finishes. A kitchen remodel in these houses runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on what’s behind the walls. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll walk the job with you.
