Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Lompico
Finding a General Contractor who understands Lompico’s canyon constraints and Cal Fire requirements isn’t a quick search. It’s the difference between a permit that clears and a change order that eats your budget. Viceroy Construction, led by Neil Drummond, runs full-scope remodels, fire-hardening retrofits, and ADU builds throughout the 95005 zip code. We know the switchbacks off West Drive, the single-lane access off Lompico Road, and what Chapter 7A actually demands. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate.
Why Viceroy Construction Is Lompico’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners in Lompico call us because we show up knowing what the county will flag. A deck replacement on a steep canyon lot isn’t a generic job. Neither is a roof that has to satisfy an insurer’s wildfire-risk underwriter. We’ve worked on enough pier-and-post foundations and partial-basement homes off Lompico Road to know where the inspection friction lives.
We keep one point of contact on every job. You’re not chasing a framer, a roofer, and a window sub. Neil Drummond’s team manages the schedule, the material staging, and the permit file. That matters when your driveway has one turnaround and a delivery truck that can’t make the grade.
Every scope of work we write accounts for Lompico’s access reality. If a crane can’t reach your lot, we say so up front. If staging has to happen on the county road with a spotter, we build that into the bid instead of surprising you later. That’s why homeowners in 95005 keep our number.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Lompico
Hiring a Remodeling Contractor in Lompico means someone who treats canyon drainage, defensible space, and ignition-resistant materials as baseline scope, not upgrades. A kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. But the number that matters first is what the county will require before sheetrock goes up.
Fire-Hardening During Remodels
When we open walls in an older redwood-era cabin, we almost always find non-rated vents and framing that won’t meet current WUI standards. We fold the Chapter 7A fixes into the remodel scope so you’re not doing a second permit pull six months later. James Hardie siding, ember-resistant gable vents, and Class A roofing integrate cleanly into the same project.
Kitchen and Bath Scope on Canyon Lots
Remodeling a kitchen on a graded slope means floor leveling, plumbing reroutes, and often foundation shimming before cabinets arrive. We spec KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria or Silestone tops, then sequence the work so the material lands when the access window allows. Homeowners get a written scope with allowances, not a verbal promise.
Licensed General Contractor in Lompico
A Licensed General Contractor in Lompico carries the full-scope credential that specialty subs can’t offer. That matters when a fire rebuild or roof replacement triggers Chapter 7A documentation that your insurer will want on file. We pull the permits, call the inspections, and hand you a compliant permit file at close-out.
Permit and Inspection Ownership
Santa Cruz County reviews WUI hardening work against specific ignition-resistant standards. We handle the permit application, the inspection scheduling, and the photo documentation of underlayment, flashing, and vent listings. If the inspector wants a correction, we fix it and get the sign-off. You’re not the one calling the county at 4 p.m.
Full-Scope Accountability
From roof tear-off to foundation repair to a new ADU, one contract covers it. We coordinate the structural engineer, the roofer, and the hardscape crew. No blame-shifting between trades. A home addition in Lompico runs $45,000 to $130,000. An ADU starts at $90,000 and can reach $220,000 depending on slope and access. We price those honestly after walking the lot.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lompico
We stock and install products that are already spec’d for mountain and WUI conditions. That includes GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing systems, James Hardie siding, PGT and CGI impact windows, and Belgard or Unilock hardscape materials. For fencing, we work with Bufftech, ActiveYards, and Master Halco. When parts or warranty follow-up are needed, our Lompico customers aren’t waiting on a warehouse three counties away. We handle the order, the delivery routing around your switchback, and the install.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Lompico Homes
- Non-rated vents and roofing on older cabins. Many 1970s and 1980s mountain homes still have screened ridge and gable vents that won’t pass a WUI inspection. Insurance carriers increasingly flag these on renewal. We replace them with ember-resistant listed products and document the install.
- Pier-and-post foundation movement on graded lots. Heavy winter rain saturates canyon slopes. Posts shift, floors tilt, and doors stop latching. We level, shim, add bracing, and address the drainage that caused the movement in the first place.
- Deck failures from dry rot and rusted connectors. Decks on steep Lompico lots take weather from all sides. We see ledger rot, corroded hangers, and undersized footings. A replacement has to meet current load and bracing codes while also satisfying defensible-space rules.
- Access-driven change orders from outside contractors. A contractor from over the hill quotes a job without seeing the drive. Then a concrete truck can’t make the turn and the schedule blows up. We walk every Lompico lot before quoting so staging and delivery sequencing is priced correctly from day one.

FAQs About General Contractor in Lompico
Roofs in Lompico need to meet Santa Cruz County’s adopted building code for wind exposure, typically Exposure C on ridge tops and exposed canyon walls, and Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards in WUI zones. That means Class A roofing material, ember-resistant vents, and underlayment that meets the county’s fire-harding requirements. A compliant quote will name the specific roofing product, its fire rating, and the vent listing. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll spec the roof to your exact parcel.
We stage materials at the bottom or on the county road with a spotter when the driveway can’t take a full delivery truck, then shuttle materials up in smaller loads or with a tracked machine. The staging plan is written into the bid, including any county road encroachment permits. We don’t wait until delivery day to figure out the turnaround radius.
Most fire rebuilds and WUI retrofits require a Santa Cruz County building permit, and projects that touch roofing, siding, vents, or decking in the wildland-urban interface must show Chapter 7A compliance. Depending on scope, you may also need a grading or encroachment permit for access work. We pull every permit, manage the inspections, and hand you the closed permit file. For an exact scope on your property, call (877) 358-6557.
Documented Chapter 7A compliance can support a wildfire-risk premium credit or prevent non-renewal, but the insurer makes the final call. What we provide is the evidence: product listings, installation photos, inspection sign-offs, and a permit file that proves the work was done to code. Homeowners have used that file successfully in premium negotiations. We’ll build the documentation trail on every job.
A compliant Lompico quote names the specific Chapter 7A-rated roofing, vent, and siding products, accounts for driveway staging and switchback access, includes permit fees and inspection scheduling, and has a written scope defining what “fire-hardening” covers. A cheap quote often skips the vent ratings, omits staging labor, and leaves defensible-space clearing as a surprise. We’ve seen the disputes. We write it down instead. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free line-item estimate.
