Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Aromas
Hiring a General Contractor in Aromas means finding someone who understands the Monterey – San Benito county line and what it does to permits, inspections, and material choices. Milpitas Construction runs full-scope General Contractor work throughout Aromas and the surrounding rural parcels, from kitchen remodels to ADUs and exterior hardscaping. We know the 95004 zip code, the well-and-septic lots, and the fog. Call (877) 752-4194 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Milpitas Construction Is Aromas’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Aromas homeowners keep our number because we solve the coordination problem that kills rural projects. A fence replacement off Carpenteria Road, a paver patio near the San Benito side, a roof on a custom house up a gravel drive: every job needs different trades, different county inspectors, and materials that hold up to coastal fog. We handle all of it under one contract.
Ken Stafford leads our team, and he has built our reputation in Aromas on one habit: naming the exact product and the exact failure we are preventing. No vague “premium materials” talk. We tell you whether a window frame is marine-grade aluminum or standard vinyl, and why that matters at your elevation.
We also spec from a portfolio of 50+ brand-name product lines. That means when a Aromas homeowner wants Cambria countertops, James Hardie siding, or a Belgard paver patio, we are not shopping blind at a big-box store. We order the correct SKU, we know the lead time, and we install it to manufacturer spec.

General Contractor Services in Aromas
General Contractor Services in Aromas cover the full project lifecycle: demolition, structural work, rough and finish carpentry, electrical and plumbing coordination, drywall, paint, and final inspection closeout. A kitchen remodel in Aromas typically runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on whether you are doing a cosmetic refresh or moving walls and drains.
From the roofline to the kitchen counter, one contractor, one conversation.
Kitchen Remodel
Most Aromas kitchens we remodel are in ranch homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, and they share the same weaknesses: shallow cabinet boxes, laminate counters, and a single overhead light. We work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone counters, and Kohler or Grohe fixtures. We spec materials by name, so you know exactly what is going into your home.
Bathroom Remodel
Bath remodels in Aromas often involve pulling up water-damaged subfloor near tubs and showers, especially on older farmhouse-style homes with original cast iron. We install walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and vanities with proper waterproofing underneath. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 here.

Construction Company in Aromas
As a Construction Company serving Aromas, we take on additions, ADUs, garage conversions, and outbuilding work on multi-acre parcels. A home addition in Aromas typically runs $45,000 – $130,000. ADU construction lands between $90,000 and $220,000, depending on whether you go site-built or prefab through Abodu, Dvele, Boxabl, or Plant Prefab.
A general contractor who handles the whole project, not just one piece of it.
ADU and Prefab Construction
Aromas has the lot size and the rural zoning for accessory dwelling units, but that does not make the build simple. Septic capacity, well yield, and county-specific setback rules all come into play. We coordinate site work, foundation, utility trenching, and the prefab delivery. ADU planning and prefab construction are a current specialty for us, not a future offering.
Exterior Scope
Roof replacement in Aromas runs $8,000 – $20,000. Window replacement runs $4,500 – $15,000. We also build vinyl and aluminum fencing, paver driveways, and concrete flatwork. Same company handling the roof, windows, and pavers means no gap in accountability when the rainy season arrives.
Trusted Brands We Service in Aromas
We install and stand behind models from Jerith, Bufftech, ActiveYards, and Belgard, among the 50+ name-brand lines we carry. Why does that matter to a Aromas homeowner? Because the aluminum fence panel from Jerith uses a different coating than a generic import, and the Belgard paver you pick has a published freeze-thaw and joint-sand spec. We stock local replacement parts where it makes sense and order direct from the manufacturer for Aromas customers, which cuts lead time compared to a contractor who buys whatever the lumberyard has on the shelf.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Aromas Homes
- Fog-driven rot at the ground line. Aromas sits in a coastal-influenced inland valley, and the summer fog pushes moisture into every unsealed post, deck board, and fence picket. Untreated cedar posts set directly in soil rot in three to five years, not twenty.
- Electro-galvanized fasteners failing early. Standard zinc hardware corrodes fast in this air. We see railings and deck hardware rusting through within a few wet seasons. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners on every exterior job in Aromas.
- Inland-grade windows fogging and leaking. Windows rated for inland California conditions do not hold up here. Salt-influenced moisture pushes through cheap seals, causing condensation between panes and water staining on interior stools.
- County-line permit confusion. A lot on one side of the line falls under Monterey County RMA; the neighbor falls under San Benito County. Two different plan check queues, two inspection schedules. Homeowners who do not know this lose weeks.

FAQs About General Contractor in Aromas
The county line determines which building department reviews your plans, collects your fees, and schedules your inspections. A property on the Monterey side goes through Monterey County RMA; a property on the San Benito side goes through San Benito County. We determine this before we draw anything, and we pull permits in the correct jurisdiction from day one. Call (877) 752-4194 if you are not sure which county your Aromas parcel sits in.
Coastal-spec materials cost more because they use corrosion-resistant coatings, marine-grade finishes, and better seals. A hot-dip galvanized post base costs more than an electro-galvanized one. A marine-grade aluminum window frame costs more than standard vinyl. But the cheap spec fails within five to ten years in Aromas’s fog, and you pay for it twice. We show every client both numbers before we order.
We specify stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized roofing fasteners on every Aromas roof. Standard zinc or electro-galvanized fasteners corrode in the salt-influenced fog and cause premature shingle blow-off and leak points. We also spec GAF or CertainTeed systems with the correct underlayment for coastal moisture. Call (877) 752-4194 for a roof inspection and fastener check.
We split the permit submittals and coordinate both inspection schedules, which is rare for a contractor to do well. If a single project on a large Aromas parcel spans the line, we file with both Monterey County and San Benito County, and we sequence the work so inspections happen in the right order. This is a real local proficiency; most contractors inside Watsonville or Gilroy never see it.
A coastal-spec vinyl or aluminum fence installation in Aromas typically runs 15 – 25% more than an inland-spec version, so roughly $4,000 – $11,000 versus $3,500 – $9,000. The difference is in the post bases, fasteners, and concrete mix. We quote both so you can decide, but we will tell you straight: the cheap spec rots at the ground line within five years in this climate. Call (877) 752-4194 for an exact fence quote.
