KHB Construction Inc. is a licensed, bonded, and insured California general contractor (CSLB #1070537) based in Modesto and serving Stockton, Ripon, Manteca, Tracy, Turlock, and the surrounding Central Valley. We manage every part of residential construction — kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, room additions, ADUs, and new construction — with in-house designers and project managers, so you sign one contract and work with one team.
Unlike a traditional GC who only builds what someone else drew, KHB is a design-build general contractor: we design your project, engineer the plans, pull the permits with your city or county, and build it with the same crews who planned it. That single point of accountability is why homeowners across Stanislaus and San Joaquin County call us first.

A general contractor is the company legally responsible for your entire construction project: scheduling and supervising every trade (framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, finish carpentry), ordering materials, holding the building permit, scheduling city inspections, and keeping the job on budget and on schedule. In California, any remodeling work over $500 must be performed by a CSLB-licensed contractor — you can verify our license, #1070537, on the state CSLB website.
When you hire KHB as your GC, you get a dedicated project manager, a published schedule, and a fixed scope agreed before demolition starts. No chasing subcontractors. No surprise change orders for work that should have been planned from day one.

Most remodels go wrong in the handoffs — an architect draws something the budget can’t build, a contractor bids it blind, and the homeowner referees. Our design-build process removes those handoffs. KHB’s in-house design team develops your concept, our estimators price it in real time against real trade costs, and the same company stands behind the drawings and the finished work.
That means faster permits (our drawings are built to pass plan check the first time), tighter budgets (designed to a number you approve), and a build that matches the renderings — because the people who drew it walk the site every week.

If you already have architect drawings, we’ll price and build them — and our plans and permits team can carry them through plan check and city submittal for you.
KHB Construction is headquartered at 1001 Reno Ave in Modesto and builds throughout Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. We know the local jurisdictions — the City of Modesto Building Safety Division, Stockton’s Permit Center, the county offices that handle unincorporated parcels — and what each one expects on a residential submittal. Explore your city: Modesto, Stockton, Ripon, Manteca, Tracy, and Turlock.

Verify the contractor holds an active CSLB license and bond (KHB is CSLB #1070537 — searchable at cslb.ca.gov), carries liability insurance and workers’ comp, and can show recent local projects similar to yours. Then compare how they handle design and permits: a design-build GC like KHB gives you one contract and one accountable team instead of separate architect and builder agreements.
Most established Central Valley GCs price significant remodels as a fixed proposal rather than hourly. Budget ranges vary widely by scope — a full custom kitchen typically runs well into five figures, additions and ADUs into six. KHB prices projects during design so the number is fixed before construction starts, and we’re upfront that we’re not the cheapest bid — we’re the team that finishes on the number we agreed to.
A traditional general contractor builds plans someone else created. A design-build firm employs the designers and the builders in one company. You get one contract, one schedule, and pricing that develops alongside the design — which is why design-build projects typically have fewer change orders and faster permit approvals.
Yes — completely. KHB prepares the construction documents, submits to your city or county building department, answers plan check corrections, pulls the permit, and schedules every inspection through final. Permit handling is included on every KHB project, and our plans and permits service can also take over drawings you already have.
Design and permitting typically run 6–12 weeks depending on the city’s plan check workload. Construction ranges from about 6–10 weeks for a kitchen to several months for additions, ADUs, and whole-home remodels. You get a published schedule before demolition and a weekly progress walkthrough with your project manager.
Yes. KHB builds throughout Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties — including Stockton, Ripon, Manteca, Tracy, Turlock, Oakdale, Ceres, Riverbank, Patterson, and Lathrop — plus Tri-Valley communities like Pleasanton and Livermore for select projects.
