Bay Area remodeling you can see coming.
Kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs and whole-home renovations, designed and built by one team. A fixed price in writing, real dates, one person who answers.
Design-build, since 1989
One office, our own crews, one contract from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Clarity Construction is a second-generation, family-owned design-build general contractor in Santa Clara. The drawings, the permits, the trades and the finish work come from one team, so the price you sign is the price you pay, and one project manager with a direct number sees your job through from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.
Services
What we build.
Typical price ranges for completed Bay Area projects. Your fixed price comes after we walk the space.
Since 1989
Remodeling Bay Area homes since 1989.
Post-war ranches, Eichlers, nineties tracts, Craftsman bungalows and Victorians. We have opened the walls on all of them, which is why our estimates hold.
A second-generation family-owned company, run from one office and showroom in Santa Clara. Meet the people behind it and see how we are set up.
Why the name
Most remodels do not go wrong. They go quiet.
The complaint we hear about other contractors is almost never about the tile. It is not knowing the price, not knowing the date, and not being able to reach anyone. So we built the company around fixing that.
Four things you get on every Clarity job.
- 01
A fixed price, in writing
The number on your contract is the number you pay. If something has to change, you see it and sign it before we build it.
- 02
A schedule with real dates
You get a week by week plan on day one. When something moves, you hear it from us that day, not at the end.
- 03
One person who answers
You get your project manager's direct number. The same person from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.
- 04
A clean house every evening
Dust walls, floor protection, and a swept site before we leave. You live here. We build like it.
How it works
Five steps, and you always know which one you are on.
The walkthrough
Free, about an hour, at your home.
We come to you, look at the space, and talk about what you actually want. You get an honest range on the spot, and there is no sales pitch at the end of it.
The contract and your price
Itemized, fixed, in writing.
An itemized breakdown of what every part of your project costs, a schedule for how long the work will take, and a clear payment structure, all in writing before anything begins. Read it closely and ask us anything. A contract you fully understand on day one is why the project ends with no surprises on the final bill.
Design and drawings
Decided on paper, while changes are still easy.
Measured plans and elevations of your space, drawn with you, so you can review the finished design before a single wall is touched. You approve it, and only then does the build begin.
Permits and build
We pull them, we meet the inspector.
We handle the permits with your city, schedule the inspections and build with our own crews. You get a weekly update, a project manager with a direct number, and a site we sweep every evening.
Walkthrough and warranty
The punch list, cleared.
We walk the finished job with you, clear the punch list, and hand over the warranty. And if you ever need us afterward, we will be right here, as we have been since 1989.

Questions
Common questions.
What areas do you serve?
The whole San Francisco Bay Area: the Peninsula, the South Bay and the East Bay. Sixteen of the cities we are asked about most have their own pages under Where we work at the bottom of every page, and if your town is not among them, call and ask.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes, and there is no obligation attached to it. We come to your home, look at the space, talk through what you want, and give you an honest range before anyone signs anything. Detailed design work and drawings are a paid stage that begins only after you decide to move forward.
How do you price a project?
Fixed price, once the scope is settled. We measure, we specify, and we write an itemized contract where every line has a number. Where something genuinely cannot be known before demolition, like the routing of plumbing we cannot yet see, we flag it as a potential change order with an estimated range before you ever sign, so nothing about your project arrives as a surprise.
What happens if you find a problem behind the wall?
On homes of a certain age it happens, and we would rather find it than cover it. We show you what we found, explain what it costs to fix properly, and you approve a written change order before we do the work. Nothing appears on your invoice that you have not signed for.
