Together, we will shape the perfect vision for your bathroom remodel.
Kitchen Renovation
The kitchen? It’s more than just a room—it’s the lifeblood of your home. It’s where family and friends flock to whip up meals, pour drinks, swap stories, and savor good food. At Benga Construction, we get that. And it’s our deep-rooted knowledge and hands-on expertise in kitchen revamps put us a cut above the rest. For us, nailing your project starts with knowing what makes your family tick and your entertaining needs.
Maybe your kitchen cabinets were so last decade or storage space is as scarce as a hen’s teeth. It sounds like it’s high time for a kitchen makeover! We’re here to walk you through the process and ensure you get the biggest bang for your buck. Our Design/Build approach means the design process is a breeze, giving you peace of mind. We promise to go over everything with a fine-toothed comb. The more we understand your needs, the better we can tailor your kitchen to you.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
Think of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) as your home’s bonus buddy. It’s a petite second dwelling on the same grounds as your regular single-family home. Picture a mini house, a chill backyard retreat, or your very own home office. You might’ve heard these ADUs called other names like granny flats, in-law units, tiny houses, or secondary dwelling units. One of the cool things about ADUs is they’re more affordable than other housing options and can fit right into your existing space.
Let’s face it; housing costs have skyrocketed, making it hard for young families and older folks to find affordable living in this neck of the woods. For our elderly loved ones, ADUs offer a way to stick around in familiar surroundings and make multi-gen living easier on everyone’s time and wallet.
But get this, ADUs can also be a sweet little earner. You could rent out your ADU or even switch things up by moving into the ADU yourself and renting out your main house. Plus, focusing amid the kiddo chaos or pet pandemonium can be a struggle with more people working from home. Enter the backyard office, just 100 square feet (like 10 ft x 10 ft) of peaceful productivity. How awesome is that?
Seismic Retrofit
Think of a seismic retrofit as your home’s earthquake protection upgrade. It’s a set of improvements designed to fortify your house against the shaking forces of an earthquake. With California’s seismic history, retrofitting isn’t just smart—it’s essential for keeping your home and family safe.
Our seismic retrofits are part of California’s Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) Program, which means you may even qualify for a grant to help cover the costs. From reinforcing your home’s foundation to bracing the walls and securing major components, these upgrades can give you peace of mind without a complete overhaul. Plus, they’re more affordable than many think.
California homeowners increasingly recognize the need for seismic safety, especially in older homes built before modern building codes accounted for earthquakes. Seismic retrofitting is a practical, cost-effective solution whether you want to protect your long-term investment, lower your insurance premiums, or just sleep easier at night.
The California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) created incentive grant programs to help California homeowners seismically retrofit their houses to withstand earthquakes better.
The California Residential Mitigation Program offers grants to retrofit homes through the Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS) and Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) retrofit grant programs.

QUALIFICATIONS
Hi there, I’m a proud Marin County local, living here for over 20 years with my wonderful wife – a true-blue, fifth-generation San Franciscan. My journey in construction started 40+ years ago, and it’s been an exciting ride! From managing commercial and residential construction projects, to overseeing iconic landmarks like Tiffany & Co, Elizabeth Arden Salons, and Liz Claiborne, my career has spanned various corners of this industry.
Having had the opportunity to manage construction projects for industry big shots like Google, Disney Studios, and the California Institute of Technology, I’ve picked up quite a bit about building right. And just so you know, I’m not only a licensed general contractor and electrician in California, but also in Arizona.
Every house or building is like a massive jigsaw puzzle with over 100,000 individual pieces. This includes everything from screws and nails to shingles, light fixtures, and water pipes. And they all need to be put together in a precise order. If there’s even a minor hiccup in that sequence, you may end up with a defect. With my years of experience, I’ve mastered the art of solving this complex puzzle the right way. I’ve got a keen eye for spotting even minor flaws and correcting them before they become major headaches.
Finding the right builder can be a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack. There are so many factors to consider – qualifications, experience, equipment, reporting methods, pricing. And the truth is, you won’t really get to know us builders until our first appointment.
But here’s what I can tell you – a successful new home or renovation isn’t just about the bricks and mortar. It’s also about the energy, effort, and attention to detail the builder puts in. If you trust me with your project, whether it’s a brand-new build or a renovation, I promise you’ll get nothing less than my 100% effort. Because when I’m working on your home, it’s the only one that matters to me.
APPROACH
At Benga Construction, our business practices prioritize honesty and integrity. We stand firmly against the industry practice of enticing clients with deliberately low bids to secure a project. Our pricing policy is straightforward: we quote to construct the project excellently, not simply to win the job.
Our construction process always adheres to a fundamental hierarchy: quality comes first, followed by time, and finally, cost. These are the three pillars of our building philosophy and are addressed in this particular order. We believe all three elements are integral to delivering a project that meets and exceeds your expectations, and our commitment to this principle is unwavering.
“You can buy a person’s time, you can buy a person’s physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. But you cannot buy enthusiasm; you cannot buy initiative; you cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds, and souls. You have to earn these things.” – Management’s Philosophy
