What we do
One licensed contractor for the whole job.
We hold the general contractor's licence, so we run all of it: drawings, plan check, permits, trades, inspections and schedule. The pool in the back yard is the same licence and the same crew as the addition on the house.
Home additions
Room additions, second storeys and rear extensions. We tie new footings into your foundation and finish it to match the house.
ExpansionADUs & garage conversions
Detached and attached units, junior ADUs and garage conversions, designed to California ADU rules and your lot.
ADURemodels
Kitchens, bathrooms and whole-home remodels. We move walls, bring systems up to code, and hand you a schedule.
InteriorDesign & planning
Drawings, structural engineering, Title 24 and the permit package. We carry it through plan check ourselves.
Pre-constructionFoundations & groundwork
Excavation, grading, footings, stem walls and slabs, plus retaining walls and drainage.
StructuralSwimming pools
Gunite and fiberglass pools, spas and water features. Same crew, same licence, same schedule as the house.
PoolsPool renovation & repair
Replaster, new tile and coping, replumbing, leak detection, equipment and the bonding the code requires.
PoolsDecks, patios & hardscape
Framed decks, paver and stamped-concrete patios, pool decking, coping, driveways and outdoor kitchens.
ExteriorHow a job runs
Five stages, and you know which one you are in.
Each stage closes before the next one opens. You get a written scope, a schedule, and one number to call.
- Stage 01
Walk the property
We come out and look at the grade, the soil, equipment access and the house you already have. It costs you nothing, and we will say so if the job is not worth doing.
- Stage 02
Design & fixed scope
Drawings, material selections and a line-item scope with real numbers. We state the allowances up front, which keeps surprises off your final invoice.
- Stage 03
Permits & engineering
We prepare the plan set, bring in a structural or soils engineer when the job needs one, and carry it through city plan check.
- Stage 04
Build
Dig, steel, pour, frame, plumb, finish. We clean the site down every day, update you every week, and book inspections so the crew is not left waiting on one.
- Stage 05
Final inspection & warranty
Sign-off, walkthrough and punch list. On pools we start the water chemistry and show you how to run the equipment. You get the warranty in writing.
Selected work
Jobs that needed both crews on the same lot.
We are proudest of the lots that needed a foundation crew and a pool crew at once, where a retaining wall holds back the hill the infinity edge looks over.
ADU
Detached ADU on a Valley lot
A detached accessory dwelling unit behind the main house, on its own foundation with its own utilities and address.
Pool
Free-form pool, spa & tanning ledge
Gunite shell with an attached raised spa and spillway, pebble finish, travertine coping and a full equipment pad.
Groundwork
Tiered retaining walls on a sloped lot
Two engineered block tiers with geogrid, drain rock and perforated subdrain. We cut and graded the slope into a usable yard.
Renovation
Full renovation of a 1980s plaster pool
We chipped it back to the shell and replumbed it, then added waterline tile, coping, a pebble interior and LED lighting.

Questions we get
Straight answers.
Are you licensed?
Yes. TrueBuild Construction Company Corp. holds California contractor's licence 1126490, and we are bonded and insured. Verify it yourself at cslb.ca.gov before you hire anyone, including us.
Can you build an ADU on my property?
Most likely. California ADU law is generous, though your lot size, setbacks and utilities decide what will pass, along with whether you want it detached, attached or converted from the garage. We walk the property, tell you what the city will approve, and handle the drawings and permits.
Do you handle permits and plan check?
We prepare the plan set, coordinate structural and Title 24 engineering, and take the job through city plan check and inspection. On pools we meet the bonding, grounding and barrier code as part of the build.
What does an estimate cost?
Nothing. We walk the property, talk through what you want, and send a written line-item scope. No pressure and no charge, whether you hire us or not.
How long does a job take?
A remodel runs weeks. An ADU or addition takes a few months once the permits are in hand, and a new pool runs 8 to 14 weeks from the first dig. Permitting is the part no contractor can promise, so we start it early and keep you posted.
