Licensed, bonded, and insured
Everything the build needs, under one license
The house plans, custom homes, modular designs, swimming pools, multi-family buildings, and remodels all sit under the same general contractor, so the trades get sequenced by the person who is accountable for the finish date. You keep one number in your phone, and you get an answer the first time you ask instead of being handed between companies.
What we build
Eight kinds of project, all under CSLB #1095957, all with the same two people answering your calls.
Custom Home BuildingGround up custom homes built to your own design and your own lot, with licensed oversight from planning through move in.

Modular & Production HomesA faster, more cost effective route to a new home, with the same licensed crews and on site coordination as a custom build.
Swimming Pool ConstructionNew pool construction under our C53 pool classification, whether it is part of a new build or an addition to a home you already own.
Multi-Family ConstructionDuplexes and small multi-unit properties, built under the same general building license and project management as our single family work.

How a project with us works
Four steps, and you know where your build stands at every one of them without having to ask.
Step 1: Free quote
Call or send the form and tell us about the property, the budget you are working with, and what you picture. The quote costs nothing.
Step 2: Planning
Courtney drafts the plan in house, from one we already own or from a blank page, and we coordinate the permitting side of it.
Step 3: Construction
Licensed, bonded, and insured crews build the home, pool, or property, and you get regular status updates as the work moves.
Step 4: Completion
We coordinate with the other trades and related projects to hit the deadlines and hand over a finished property on schedule.
Drafted in house
We draw your plans ourselves
Courtney Salinas drafts every Almond Grove Homes plan, so the person drawing your house is the same person talking to Nick about how it gets built. Start from one of our own plans, adapt it to your lot, or go fully custom from a blank page.
What working with a family owned builder gets you
Six things a homeowner feels every week of a build, and the reasons our clients keep sending us to their neighbors.
You talk to the owners, every time
Nick and Courtney Salinas are your direct point of contact from the first quote through completion, so nothing gets lost between a call center and a crew.
Licensed for the build and the deal
CSLB #1095957 covers general building, swimming pools, and electrical signs. DRE #02054090 covers the real estate side, so buying the lot and building on it stay one conversation.
One contractor instead of four
Custom homes, modular homes, pools, multi-family, remodels, and commercial tenant improvement all come from the same license, so there is nobody left to blame each other.
Decisions made on site, the same day
We are based in Madera, minutes from most of our jobsites, so a question that would stall another builder for a week gets settled while we are standing in the room.
You never have to chase an update
Status updates come to you as the work moves, so you always know what happened last week and what is happening next.
Built the way you want it built
We are a small family business, not a tract builder, so your plan does not have to survive a list of approved options before it gets framed.
