General Contractor
Bay Area Construction & Remodeling Services
From kitchen remodels to ground-up ADUs and full commercial buildouts — one licensed team handles design, permits, and construction across Silicon Valley.
Construction in the Bay Area is unforgiving: strict city plan checks, Title 24 energy code, seismic requirements, and some of the highest quality expectations in the country. BARC was built for exactly this environment. Our crews and project managers work in South Bay cities every week, so we know what San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Palo Alto plan reviewers want to see before we ever submit.
Because we are also a real-estate brokerage and financing partner, we approach every build through the lens of property value. We will tell you honestly which scope adds resale value, which finishes the market rewards, and where you can save without anyone noticing the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a licensed general contractor in California?+
Yes. Bay Area Realty & Construction operates under a California CSLB general contractor license and carries liability insurance and workers' compensation. We're happy to provide license and insurance certificates with every proposal.
Do you handle plans and permits, or do I need my own architect?+
We're a design-build firm — our team produces architectural drawings, Title 24 energy calcs, and structural engineering, then files and expedites the permit with your city. You can also bring your own architect and we'll build from their plans.
What size projects do you take on?+
Anything from a single bathroom remodel (~$30K) to ground-up ADUs, major additions, and full commercial or restaurant buildouts north of $1M. If a project isn't a fit, we'll tell you on the first call and point you in the right direction.
How do payments work?+
California law caps the initial deposit at $1,000 or 10% (whichever is less). After that, payments follow a milestone schedule tied to completed work — you never pay significantly ahead of progress.
Can you help finance the project?+
Yes — that's a BARC advantage. Our in-house loan team arranges renovation loans, HELOC alternatives, and hard-money construction financing so the budget conversation and the build plan happen at the same table.
