Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Broadmoor
Hiring a General Contractor in Broadmoor means finding someone who understands this neighborhood’s specific construction realities. Broadmoor is the only Daly City neighborhood where nearly every lot touches a 1920s Olmsted-planned greenbelt, so projects here routinely involve tree-protection zones and easements that contractors in neighboring cities never deal with. We’ve worked on these streets. We know what’s behind those 1940s stucco walls. Call (833) 756-5936 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a straight answer about what your project actually requires.
Key Takeaways
- Broadmoor’s 1940s-50s homes hide outdated wiring and dry rot behind original stucco walls.
- Greenbelt proximity means tree-protection zones and arborist reports are often mandatory before excavation.
- Kitchen remodels in Broadmoor run $14,000 – $45,000; bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000.
- We write inspection findings into contract allowances so surprises get priced in writing, not sprung on you mid-project.
Why Iron Beam Contractors Is Broadmoor’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Broadmoor homeowners call us because we show up knowing the house stock. Nearly every home here is original 1940s – 50s stucco-over-wood-frame construction on a small, tightly packed lot, often with a rear addition or an in-law unit that was permitted under old code. That history matters when you’re planning a kitchen remodel or a room addition. We’ve opened enough Broadmoor walls to know what’s usually behind them, and we write our bids accordingly.
Our reputation in Broadmoor is built on straight talk. Nolan Driscoll leads every project with a simple rule: inspect first, price second, build third. When a Broadmoor homeowner calls us about a bathroom remodel, we walk the property before we quote. We check the crawl space, the panel, the framing, and the greenbelt setback. That pre-bid inspection is why our change orders are rare and our clients know what they’re signing.
Response time to Broadmoor is one of the first questions we hear. We’re based in Orange, CA, and we schedule Broadmoor walkthroughs in full blocks so we’re not squeezing you between jobs elsewhere. When you call to schedule a free estimate, we’ll give you a specific date and time, not a four-hour window. You’ll get a written line-item quote, and if we find something during inspection, it goes into the quote as a named allowance with a real dollar range.
Styles & brands we work with







Hire a General Contractor in Broadmoor
You hire a General Contractor in Broadmoor when the project spans more than one trade and you want a single accountable team instead of a parade of subs. A kitchen remodel here isn’t just cabinets and counters. Once we open walls in a 1940s Broadmoor home, we’re usually looking at cloth-insulated wiring, dry rot behind the stucco, and framing that doesn’t meet current shear requirements. That’s the actual job. A full-scope kitchen remodel in Broadmoor runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on footprint, electrical scope, and material specs. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. A home addition runs $45,000 – $130,000 because it means footings, Title 24 compliance, and almost always greenbelt setback review.
Inspection Before Bid
We don’t quote Broadmoor work blind. Before a single number goes on paper, we walk the house with you. We open the panel, look at the framing in the attic, test the subfloor, and check the sewer lateral. If the greenbelt touches your lot line, we flag the tree-protection zone immediately. You’ll know what the project needs before you agree to the price.
Allowances Written Into Contract
Broadmoor homes have predictable surprises. We write allowances into the contract for things like subfloor repair, Title 24 electrical upgrades, and dry rot replacement behind exterior walls. When an allowance gets used, you get a written change order with a specific price before we proceed. No mystery line items. No verbal approvals.
General Contractor Services in Broadmoor
Broadmoor CWS service covers everything from a single bathroom down to a full whole-home remodel or an ADU in the rear yard. Because so many Broadmoor lots are small and tightly packed, additions and ADUs require careful planning around side-yard setbacks and the greenbelt easements that border many properties. An ADU in Broadmoor runs $90,000 – $220,000 depending on foundation work, utility connections, and whether the prefab route makes sense for your lot access. Window replacement on these older stucco homes runs $4,500 – $15,000, and it’s often the first thing we recommend because wind-driven moisture from the Pacific gets behind old window flashing and rots the surrounding framing.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
These projects are where Broadmoor’s housing age shows up fastest. We handle demolition, structural repair, electrical rough-in, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, and finish work under one contract. We source from KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler, Moen, or Grohe fixtures depending on your spec.

Additions, ADUs, and Prefab
Broadmoor lots are small, so we plan additions vertically as often as horizontally. We’re authorized to work with Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab for ADU installation. That depth of prefab options means we can often match an ADU to your lot’s access constraints and greenbelt setbacks without a custom build from scratch.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Broadmoor Homes
- Cloth-insulated wiring that crumbles when walls open. Broadmoor’s original 1940s wiring was never designed for the loads a modern kitchen or ADU pulls. Once we open a wall and find it, we can’t legally leave it. We write the electrical rough-in into the bid as an allowance so it’s not a mid-project shock.
- Dry rot behind original stucco. Fog and wind-driven moisture off the Pacific get behind old window flashing and into the framing. This is why window replacement in Broadmoor often turns into a small structural repair, not just a swap.
- Greenbelt tree roots in foundations and sewer laterals. The mature Monterey cypress and pine along the greenbelt send roots into footings and drain lines. Any excavation near the greenbelt can trigger an arborist report and a city-approved tree protection plan. We plan for that before we bid.
- Rear additions and in-law units built under old code. Many Broadmoor homes have a rear addition or in-law unit that was never brought to current Title 24 standards. When your project touches those spaces, the permit triggers upgrades. We scope them during the inspection, not after demolition.
Pricing for General Contractor in Broadmoor, CA
Broadmoor pricing tracks with Daly City market rates, but the greenbelt factor adds a line item most other neighborhoods don’t see. Here are the ranges we quote most often:
| Project | Broadmoor Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
What moves the number? The condition of the electrical panel, the state of the framing where stucco meets wood, and whether your lot line touches the greenbelt. A greenbelt-adjacent lot may need an arborist report and tree protection measures that add cost before we even start digging. Call (833) 756-5936 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote so you see exactly where every dollar goes.

FAQs About General Contractor in Broadmoor
Expect outdated wiring, dry rot behind exterior walls, and framing that doesn’t meet current shear standards. Broadmoor’s original cloth-insulated wiring crumbles when exposed, so a full electrical rough-in is common. We inspect before we bid and write these items into named allowances, so you see the real scope before demolition starts. Call (833) 756-5936 to schedule a pre-bid walkthrough.
If your lot touches the greenbelt, any excavation near the boundary can require an arborist report and a city-approved tree protection plan. Mature Monterey cypress and pine roots also invade foundations and sewer laterals, so root encroachment often becomes part of the scope. We flag this during the first walkthrough, not after the permit application stalls. Call (833) 756-5936 to find out if your project triggers greenbelt review.
Yes. Any remodel that moves plumbing, electrical, or structural framing in Broadmoor requires a permit through the San Mateo County building authorities, and greenbelt-adjacent lots may add a tree-protection review. We pull permits for every project and write inspection sign-off into the schedule. Call (833) 756-5936 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your project triggers.
We write a change order with a specific price and get your signature before we touch anything. On a recent Broadmoor kitchen remodel, our crew found cloth-insulated 1940s wiring and undersized framing around an old window opening. We wrote a $4,800 change order for the electrical rough-in and structural repair, and the homeowner approved it in writing before we proceeded. That’s the process, every time. Call (833) 756-5936 if you want a contractor who prices surprises on paper, not by handshake.
A draw schedule is a payment plan tied to completed milestones: demolition, rough-in, drywall, finish, and final inspection. You pay only for work that’s been completed and signed off. On Broadmoor projects where greenbelt review can add lead time, we structure draws so you’re not paying for delays outside our control. Your contract from Iron Beam includes a written draw schedule before work begins. Call (833) 756-5936 for a free estimate with a sample draw schedule.
