General Contractor in Somis, California

Serving Somis Since 1994 · Licensed & Insured · Lic. #1027281

Somis is ranch and grove country, citrus, berries, horses, and custom homes on acreage in the Las Posas Valley. Master Construction has built and remodeled here for over 30 years, from our home base minutes away in Ventura. Licensed and insured (Lic. #1027281), we understand rural properties: the long driveways, the outbuildings, the well and septic systems, and the county rules that come with unincorporated land.

Local Knowledge

Built for ranch and acreage living.

Building on acreage is different. Water comes from a well or an ag meter, waste goes to septic, and the barn matters as much as the house. We build and repair with that reality in mind, durable materials that stand up to sun and wind, site work that respects drainage across large lots, and scheduling that works around harvests, horses, and the way a working property actually runs.

Acreage projects also run on a different clock. A barn slab or a driveway crossing a quarter mile of grade needs site work sequenced around weather and around whatever the property is actually doing that season. We stage materials where they will not block equipment access, keep dust down near stock and groves, and plan water and power runs across distances a city lot never has to think about.

Building Here

Building in Somis.

Somis is an unincorporated community, so there is no city hall issuing permits, building here runs through the County of Ventura, and much of the surrounding land carries agricultural zoning that shapes what can be built and where. We have worked under county rules for decades and plan projects around them from the first drawing. For county services and permit information, visit the County of Ventura official website.

Two county realities shape most Somis projects. Wells and septic systems have capacity limits that decide how much you can add before the system itself needs upgrading, and that check belongs at the front of a project rather than at plan check. Agricultural zoning is the other: it governs not just what can be built but where on the parcel, and it does not bend for a good design. We confirm both before drawings get expensive.

Permits & Plan Check

Permits and plan check in Somis.

Because Somis is unincorporated, plan check, permits and inspections are handled by the County of Ventura's Building and Safety division rather than a city office. Rural parcels add their own review layers, grading on large lots, wells and septic, and agricultural structures are each looked at differently than a standard city lot.

Zoning matters here more than in most of the county: land protected for agriculture carries restrictions that can surprise owners planning additions or new structures. Knowing what a parcel's zoning allows before design starts is the single best way to avoid a dead-end plan.

FAQ

Somis FAQ.

Who is the best general contractor in Somis?

On acreage, hire the contractor who asks about your well before your countertops. The vetting basics still apply: an active CSLB license, insurance, and rural projects the company can name. Master Construction is family owned, licensed (Lic. #1027281) and insured, building from Ventura since 1994 with an office and showroom at 1450 E. Thompson Blvd, minutes from the Las Posas Valley. Thirty years of Somis ranch work means we schedule around harvests and horses, in English and Spanish.

How much does a home remodel cost in Somis?

Site work drives Somis budgets in a way city remodels never see. Water and power runs across a long parcel, grading and drainage on large lots, and well and septic capacity all move the number before finishes enter the conversation. A kitchen in a Las Posas Valley custom home prices differently than the same kitchen on a city lot for exactly those reasons. We walk the property first, then price a fixed scope with the likely unknowns in writing.

How long does a remodel take in Somis?

Six to ten weeks on site is typical for a kitchen or bath once permits are issued. The county side takes longer: plan check through the County of Ventura generally runs past what a city office would need, and rural parcels can pick up review layers for grading, septic or agricultural structures. On the ground we sequence site work around weather and whatever the property is doing that season, and you get the full calendar before demolition starts.

Do I need a permit to remodel a house in Somis?

Yes for nearly all remodel and construction work, and there is no city hall to visit. Somis is unincorporated, so permits, plan check and inspections run through the County of Ventura's Building and Safety Division. Agricultural zoning restricts what can be built and where on the parcel, and wells, septic and grading each add review layers of their own. We confirm the zoning before design starts, then handle the submittal and the correction cycle.

Can you work on properties with wells and septic systems?

Yes, that is normal for Somis. Additions and remodels on well and septic properties need capacity and setback checks early, and we build those into the planning rather than discovering them at plan check.

Do you build barns, shops and outbuildings?

Yes, and they are a normal part of what we do in Somis. Agricultural and accessory structures are reviewed differently from a house, sometimes more simply and sometimes less, depending on use and zoning. We work out which category a building falls into before design rather than after.

Do you handle emergency repairs in Somis?

Yes, 24 hours a day on (805) 414-0840. Crews dispatch from our Ventura base, minutes from the Las Posas Valley, and a rural address gets the same response as a city one. Mitigation starts the day you call, which matters when a burst line is soaking a house at the end of a long driveway, and the rebuild runs under the same license. Details at Somis water damage restoration.

Do you work with property managers and HOAs in Somis?

Yes. For property managers with rentals or managed ranch properties around Somis we handle tenant turnovers, repairs between occupants and standing maintenance; for boards we take on common area repairs and board-approved capital work. Both get certificates of insurance, written scopes a reserve study can use, and one point of contact for every trade on the job. Start at HOA and property maintenance.
