General Contractor in Fillmore, California

Licensed and insured (Lic. #1027281), we treat Fillmore projects like the heirlooms they are.
Older Homes Need Builders Who Understand Them
A 1920s Fillmore bungalow is nothing like a 1990s tract house. Knob and tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, settling foundations, and plaster walls all need a careful hand. We modernize the systems that keep you safe and comfortable while protecting the trim, proportions, and character that make these houses worth keeping in the family.

Permits and Plan Check in Fillmore
Fillmore issues permits through city staff but contracts plan check and inspections to Bureau Veritas. That split is worth understanding: the city holds the permit, while the technical review sits with an outside agency, and questions often need to go to the right one of the two.
Permits are issued only to licensed contractors or owner-builders, and any plans approved through Planning — by the Planning Director, Planning Commission or City Council — must be reflected accurately in the building or grading plans that follow. On Fillmore's older housing stock, that link between planning approval and construction drawings is where most delays start.
