Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Daly City
Looking for a General Contractor who understands what Daly City’s fog, hillside lots, and mid-century housing stock actually do to a structure? That’s us. Brookside Contractors, led by Nate Burrell, has worked across ZIP codes 94014, 94015, 94016, and 94017 long enough to know that the remodel quote you get for a Westlake bungalow isn’t the same as one for a Crocker hillside home. Call (833) 725-3508 and we’ll walk your property with a moisture meter before we ever hand you a number.
Why Brookside Contractors Is Daly City’s Preferred General Contractor Company
The homes here were built fast in the decades after WWII, and decades of fog drip have been working on them ever since. We’ve opened enough walls in the Crocker, Westlake, and Broadmoor neighborhoods to know that what looks like a simple cosmetic refresh often hides something structural. Homeowners in Daly City keep calling us back because we price for what’s behind the stucco, not just what’s in front of it.
Our process starts with a pre-bid moisture inspection of exterior walls, especially north-facing ones. Then we write allowances into the contract for the dry rot, galvanized pipe, and undersized framing that Daly City homes so often contain. When we find something, you see photos and a written change order before we spend a dollar. That’s how a project stays on budget and on schedule with a single accountable contractor.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Daly City
General Contractor Services in Daly City means handling the full scope of a renovation under one roof, from structural framing and rough-in work to the finished surfaces you live with every day. A full kitchen remodel across our service area typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, while a bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on layout changes, materials, and what we uncover when the walls come open.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Most of our Daly City kitchen work happens in 1950s-to-1970s builds whose original layouts feel cramped by today’s standards. We regularly rework floor plans, move plumbing, upgrade electrical, and install cabinetry lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn. For bathrooms, we handle everything from tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500 to full gut renovations.
Whole Home and Structural Work
When a home addition is on the table, you’re looking at $45,000 – $130,000 in Daly City, and hillside foundations can push that higher. Our team handles structural engineering coordination, shear retrofits, and foundation work as part of the same contract. No handing you off to three different subs.

Construction Company in Daly City
As a full-scope Construction Company serving Daly City, we take on projects that most remodeling-focused crews won’t touch: re-roofing, siding replacement, window replacement, and accessory dwelling unit construction. A roof replacement in Daly City runs $8,000 – $20,000. An ADU build spans $90,000 – $220,000, and that’s one of the fastest-moving project types we’re seeing in this market.
Exterior Renovation and Weatherproofing
Daly City’s persistent onshore wind and salt-laden air shorten the life of exterior materials. We work with James Hardie siding, GAF and Owens Corning roofing, and impact-rated windows from PGT and CGI. On foggy hillside homes, we often recommend enhanced drainage planes and rot-resistant trim that standard bids don’t include.
ADU and Prefab Construction
We’re authorized to build with several modern prefab manufacturers, including Abodu and Dvele, which compresses construction timelines considerably. For homeowners in 94015 and 94016 looking to add rental income or a family unit, we manage permitting, site work, utility connections, and finish work under one contract.
Trusted Brands We Service in Daly City
Our team carries experience across a deep brand roster, so the material decision stays in your hands. For countertops, we offer Silestone through Cambria. Roofing spans IKO through GAF. Plumbing fixtures run from Delta and Moen up to Kohler, Grohe, and Toto. Hardscaping on Daly City’s sloped lots often means Belgard or Unilock pavers, and you’ll find them in many of our patio and driveway projects. We match the material to the project, not to whatever’s in a supplier’s warehouse.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Daly City Homes
- Hidden dry rot behind intact stucco. Daly City’s fog drip keeps north-facing walls damp for months at a time. We’ve opened kitchen walls in Westlake and found sheathing and studs completely rotted out behind stucco that looked fine from the outside.
- Galvanized plumbing on its last legs. Most of the post-WWII homes here still have original galvanized water lines. Once walls are open, replacement is nearly always the right call, and it triggers a plumbing permit.
- Undersized framing for modern loads. Mid-century Daly City houses were framed with smaller lumber than current code requires. If you’re adding a second story or even heavy stone counters, we often need to reinforce floor joists and load-bearing walls.
- Permit-triggered code upgrades that stall the job. Opening walls means the inspector will want electrical, egress, and shear upgrades brought to current code. We price these into the draw schedule up front so work doesn’t stop waiting on a change order approval.

FAQs About General Contractor in Daly City
Dry rot from decades of fog drip is the number one surprise, especially on north-facing walls in Crocker and Westlake. We also routinely find galvanized plumbing nearing failure, undersized framing, knob-and-tube or outdated wiring, and zero modern weather barrier behind the stucco. We test for all of these before bidding, so the number we give you is built for what’s actually inside your walls, not just what we can see. Call (833) 725-3508 and ask us to bring a moisture meter to your estimate.
We write a change order with photos and a line-item price, and we get your signature before touching anything outside the original scope. You approve the work, the cost, and the schedule impact before we proceed. That’s the rule, every time, on every Daly City job. If you want to see what a typical change order looks like, call us and we’ll walk you through one from a recent Westlake kitchen remodel.
Because once a wall is open, the City of Daly City requires the work behind it to meet current code. That means shear retrofits, egress windows, GFCI circuits, and updated plumbing vents, none of which existed when your house was built. We price known code triggers into the original bid whenever we can, so the permit doesn’t become a surprise. Call (833) 725-3508 for a bid that accounts for permits from day one.
Yes. We spec rot-resistant materials and enhanced drainage planes on exterior walls, especially north-facing ones that stay damp half the year. On hillside lots in the Crocker and Westlake neighborhoods, we also pay attention to runoff paths and grade water away from foundations with proper drainage details. Standard building practice from drier cities doesn’t hold up here, and we build accordingly.
We start with a pre-bid walkthrough that includes a moisture reading on exterior walls and attic inspection where accessible. Every phase gets signed off by the inspector, and we don’t cover work until it passes. You get a final walkthrough with Nate Burrell before we call the project complete. Call (833) 725-3508 to schedule your free estimate and see the process firsthand.
