Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Las Lomas
Finding a general contractor who actually understands Las Lomas means finding someone who knows the difference between a city permit and a Monterey County zoning sign-off. We do. Milpitas Construction handles additions, ADUs, kitchen and bath remodels, roofing, and hardscaping for homeowners throughout the 95076 corridor, and we’ve walked enough projects through Pajaro Valley permitting to know exactly where the paperwork gets sticky. If you’re planning a remodel or addition in Las Lomas, call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate. We’ll tell you what’s feasible, what it costs, and what the county will require before you spend a dime.
Why Milpitas Construction Is Las Lomas’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Las Lomas sits in a strange regulatory pocket. It’s unincorporated Monterey County, just north of Watsonville, so every structural submittal runs through county planning rather than a city building department. That changes how a job gets quoted, permitted, and inspected. Ken Stafford, our owner, has built Milpitas Construction around this reality: we spec wind-load-rated hardware as standard on additions, we pull the right permits before the first cut, and we don’t let a project stall over a missing floodplain elevation certificate.
Homeowners in Las Lomas call us because they want one accountable partner instead of a rotating cast of subs. We hold a single contract across framing, roofing, windows, concrete, and interior finishes. When a homeowner off Las Lomas Drive needs a kitchen remodel and a new roof in the same season, they get one schedule, one warranty conversation, and one point of contact. That matters more here than in a tract subdivision, where the same homebuilder repeats the same floor plan every other lot. Every parcel in Las Lomas is a little different.
Styles & brands we work with







Hire a General Contractor in Las Lomas
Hire a General Contractor in Las Lomas when the scope of work crosses more than one trade, or when the county won’t sign off without engineered drawings. A typical kitchen remodel in Las Lomas runs $14,000 – $45,000, a bathroom $9,000 – $28,000, and a home addition $45,000 – $130,000. Those ranges reflect the local reality: older ranch-era framing, county plan review, and the cost of moving materials down Highway 1 or through Watsonville traffic.
Single-Contract Accountability
One crew, one schedule, one warranty conversation. Whether the job starts at the roofline or at the kitchen counter, the same project manager owns it through final inspection. No finger-pointing between the framer and the finish crew, because they’re all under the same contract.
Brands by Name, Not Guesswork
We spec materials by name, so you know exactly what’s going into your home. On Las Lomas jobs we’ve used ECO Window Systems for coastal-rated window packages and ES Windows for higher-end custom openings. You choose from contractor-grade brand tiers, not whatever’s on a big-box end-cap.
General Contractor Services in Las Lomas
General Contractor Services in Las Lomas cover the full exterior-to-interior scope: kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, room additions, ADUs, roofing, windows, doors, siding, fencing, and hardscaping. A garage conversion in Las Lomas runs $30,000 – $80,000. An ADU runs $90,000 – $220,000, and the spread comes down to site conditions: parcels near the Pajaro River sloughs often need raised foundations and engineered drainage, which adds real cost before any drywall goes up.
ADU and Prefab Construction
We work with modern prefab manufacturers including Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab. Including ADU planning and prefab construction, this is a current specialty, not a future offering. We handle the site work, the county submittal, the foundation, and the assembly schedule.

Exterior Work That Matches the Climate
Pajaro Valley winters are wet. We time roof replacements and exterior siding work for the dry season wherever possible, and when rain hits mid-project, we protect the building envelope rather than push through and seal moisture into the framing. That discipline matters on older Las Lomas homes with original vapor barriers.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Las Lomas Homes
- Skipped floodplain elevation certificates. Parcels near the Pajaro River and its sloughs sit on flood-prone ground. When a submittal arrives without a current elevation certificate, inspection sign-off stalls and the homeowner’s flood insurance documentation gets a hole in it.
- Non-compliant wind-load specs. Monterey County enforces a design wind speed that a cheap quote often ignores. Additions and ADUs framed without Simpson strong-tie connectors rated for that spec fail at final inspection and cost more to retrofit than to spec correctly from the start.
- Ag-parcel permit confusion. Las Lomas is largely unincorporated agricultural land. Treating permits as optional on an ag parcel triggers zoning violations later, blocks the draw schedule, and forces a retroactive plan review that can kill a budget.
- Undocumented scope and allowances. Most remodel disputes come down to three words: scope, allowances, and change orders. When nothing is written, the punch list expands and the owner eats the cost. We document everything before work starts.

FAQs About General Contractor in Las Lomas
Monterey County enforces a design wind speed based on the coastal valley exposure class, and additions must be framed and fastened with hardware rated for that speed, typically Simpson strong-tie connectors specified on the structural drawings. A compliant quote includes those connectors by name. A cheap quote uses generic strapping that fails plan review. Call (877) 752-4194 to get your addition spec’d correctly the first time.
It adds a step: before inspection sign-off, the county requires a floodplain elevation certificate for parcels in the floodplain. We coordinate the survey, build to the required elevation, and keep the as-built documentation in your project file so your flood insurance documentation stays intact. That paper trail is part of what we mean by full-scope work. Call (877) 752-4194 to find out if your parcel falls in the zone.
Yes. Every ADU on an ag parcel in unincorporated Las Lomas needs county plan review, zoning sign-off, and the appropriate ag-land conversion or accessory-structure determination before construction. A compliant quote includes permit drawings, wind-load-rated framing specs, and the floodplain elevation certificate when the parcel requires one. Missing any of those stalls the draw schedule. Call (877) 752-4194 for a line-by-line ADU quote.
It should include the full scope, the allowance amounts by category, the payment schedule, the permit responsibility, and the change-order process. We write all of it down, line by line, before work starts. When the punch list expands, the change order is a piece of paper, not a phone argument. Call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll walk you through a sample scope before you sign anything.
It dictates the calendar. Roof replacements and exterior work get compressed into the dry season, roughly April through October, because a roof torn open and rained on is a warranty claim and a mold problem. We protect the building envelope during winter work and sequence interior projects around the weather. If you’re planning a roof or addition, call (877) 752-4194 in the fall to book a dry-season slot.
