General Contractor & Custom Home Builder in Grass Valley, CA
A home project in Grass Valley is a lot to carry. Older houses, permits, a dozen trades and a budget that has to hold. When nobody's steering, costs climb and problems get buried until they're expensive.
You shouldn't have to carry it alone. Grass Valley is our home town. We've built in Nevada County since 2009, and we treat your home, your budget and your timeline as ours to care for, not ours to take.
Building in Grass Valley
Where your property sits decides who you work with. Inside city limits, the City of Grass Valley's Building Department issues permits and does the inspections. Outside city limits, it's the Nevada County Building Department. We sort that out at the site walk and handle the permit work from there.
The old neighborhoods have their own rules. The city's Historic Preservation Ordinance covers rated homes in the 1872 Townsite, and exterior changes to an older building there often need design approval. The city even has a paint color review for the historic district. Keeping that historic look usually matters to the homeowner too, so we match the original profile.
Utilities change with the address. Water comes from the city or Nevada Irrigation District, depending on location, and the city sewers some properties inside its limits. When a property has a well or septic, we plan around them.

"If you need a contractor in Grass Valley, I highly recommend Green Bee Construction. They did an incredible job adding a bathroom to our home and installing a mini-split to finish off our guest room."
