NorCal Construction

For over 30 years NorCal Construction has been building fine homes and cabinetry in the Monterey Bay Area.
Our work includes new homes, remodels and additions. Projects range from those designed to maintain the historic character of the existing residence, to those that take the house in a new but contemporary direction. Successful projects begin with good design, while considering both function and beauty. Understanding the budget, feasibility and paying attention to details are critical to the success of any project.
At NorCal Construction, you will be assured of complete follow-through, from day one until, well…you no longer need us. We specialize in fine construction, regardless of architectural style, or the size of the project. We firmly believe that mutual respect among the architect, client and our team of subcontractors is essential…..after all, this is your home.

General Building Contractors Jay Dorn and Greg Johnson have known each other practically all of their lives. They have been building together since 1975 and shortly there after made the commitment to become business partners and formed NorCal Construction in 1977. The two friends each married their high school sweethearts and the couples have felt fortunate to be able to work and raise their families in the beautiful Santa Cruz County area which has always been home to them.

Adam Dorn is a second generation builder, trained and mentored by Jay and Greg. He worked closely with them working in all aspects of the business and cabinet shop and in 1998 left Santa Cruz to pursue a career in Los Angeles. It was here that he honed his skills as a professional Project Manager working for public and private companies such as Starbucks and TJ Maxx Corporations and is a key asset to the future of NorCal Construction. While in Los Angeles, Adam met his wife Iris and the two moved back to Santa Cruz to start a family.

To Date, NorCal has successfully completed over 300 projects in Santa Cruz County and have become one of the most respected and sought after construction companies in the area.

Their shared values of honesty and integrity, their stability and their commitment to each project, has earned NorCal an excellent reputation with the finest architects around. Taking time to thoroughly organize each project during the pre-construction phase increases the speed in which projects are completed. This in turn reduces the clients costs and brings more enjoyment to everyone involved.
