General Contracting

At ESBC, Inc., we act as a true partner to our clients—protecting their interests while building homes that are beautiful, durable, and thoughtfully detailed. As a licensed general contractor with the Contractors State License Board, we specialize in high-end custom homes and complex remodels, including hillside builds and projects with challenging site conditions.

Our approach is simple: combine meticulous craftsmanship with clear systems for budgeting, scheduling, and communication, so you always know where your project stands and what comes next.

Our Commitment to Craftsmanship

We believe great construction is more than what you see in photos. It’s the work behind the walls, the way trades are coordinated, and the care taken on every detail—from the foundation to the final coat of paint.

• We work with vetted, proven trades who have experience in high-end homes.
• We insist on doing things the right way, even when it takes longer or costs more.
• We take the time to solve problems properly, not just cover them up.
• We treat every project as if we were building our own home.
