Tad's Construction Inc. is a licensed, bonded and insured California contractor.
Three CSLB classifications under one roof means your framing, concrete, landscape
and aquatic scopes are delivered by one accountable team — not four subcontractors.
Most outdoor and site projects touch structure, ground and water. Tad's Construction
holds the California classification for all three — so scopes do not fall between
trades, and no one is waiting on someone else's crew.
For more than 24 years we have built, repaired and remediated
structures, grounds and aquatic facilities across Southern California — for
homeowners, property managers, public agencies and prime contractors.
Because we hold B-1, C-27 and C-53 classifications, a project that
involves a slab, a wall, a roof structure and a pool does not need four separate
contracts. One superintendent owns the schedule, the inspections and the punch list.
Our remediation work covers deteriorated exterior structures, grading and drainage
failures, water intrusion, and the modernization of aging pools and site elements.
Direct owner contact. You talk to the people running the job.
Transparent estimating. Scope, allowances and exclusions in writing.
Clean closeout. Inspections cleared, site returned, warranty documented.
Every job runs through the same four phases. These are our own crews and our own
job sites — shown in the order the work happens.
01 Phase
Demolition & Site Clearing
We start by removing what has failed. Deteriorated slabs, cracked hardscape and
unsound walls come out first so the new work is built on sound ground.
Trade: C-27
Street-Frontage Wall Removal
Skid-steer demolition of a failing masonry wall and pilaster, with debris controlled and hauled the same day to keep the sidewalk open.
DemolitionMasonryDebris Haul-Off
Trade: C-27
Failed Patio Surface Break-Out
Selective demolition of a delaminated tile patio down to sound substrate — the step most often skipped, and the reason resurfacing jobs fail twice.
Selective DemoSurface Prep
Trade: B-1 / C-27
Trenching & Rough Grade Cut
With the old work out, the pad is cut to grade and trenched for footings and utilities — spoils staged on site so backfill and compaction happen in the same mobilization instead of a second one.
ExcavationRough GradingUtility Trench
02 Phase
Groundwork, Concrete & Masonry
Grade, drainage and reinforcement go in before anything vertical. Slabs are formed
and tied to spec, and retaining structures are laid to carry real load.
Trade: C-27 / B-1
Reinforced Slab Pour & Screed
Full rebar mat tied on chairs, plumbing stub-ups set and protected, then a
continuous placement and screed. Pouring in one operation is what prevents the
cold joints that crack a slab in its first season.
CMU laid to a footing on a hillside cut, cells reinforced and grouted, with drainage behind the wall so hydrostatic pressure never builds.

03 Phase
Framing & Structure
Rough carpentry, shear walls and roof structure go up to engineered plans, then
get dried in and inspected before any finish material arrives.
Trade: B-1
Two-Story Frame, Sheathed & Dried In
Full structural frame with shear sheathing and weather-resistive barrier applied,
windows set and openings flashed — the building closed to weather before
interior trades are scheduled.

Trade: B-1
Gable Room Addition Tie-In
New gable-framed addition structurally tied into an existing roof and wall line, with the subfloor set and the opening squared for the new envelope.

Trade: B-1
Attached Patio Cover Framing
Ledger-attached rafters and solid decking over a poured patio, with posts set on footings rather than surface-mounted to slab edge.
Patio StructureRough Carpentry
Trade: B-1
Multi-Level Frame & Building Wrap
Stepped framing carried across a sloping lot, openings set to the window schedule and wrap lapped shingle-style so water sheds down the wall instead of finding the sheathing.

Hold Point
Rough Frame Inspection
Nothing gets covered until the frame is signed off. We walk the structural items ourselves before the inspector arrives, so a correction stays a framing fix instead of torn-out drywall.
Shear nailing pattern and edge distance verified
Hold-downs, straps and hangers installed per plan
Notching and boring kept within code limits

04 Phase
Finishes & Handover
Stain, stucco, tile, cabinetry and lighting go in last. Then inspections are
cleared, the site is returned clean, and the warranty is documented.
Trade: B-1 / C-27
Timber Pavilion & Outdoor Kitchen
Heavy-timber pavilion stained and trimmed while the masonry cook station is finished beneath it — structure and hardscape by the same crew.

Trade: C-27
Custom Outdoor Fireplace
Block-cored fireplace and raised hearth taken to finish coat on site, sized to the wall it sits against instead of dropped in as a kit.

Kitchen Remodel, Complete
The same job at handover: cabinetry set and levelled, counters templated, backsplash tiled and flooring run through — ready for final walk.

Trade: C-53
Pool, Water Features & Fire Bowls
Raised spillway wall and fire bowls finished, coping and deck tied to the surrounding hardscape, then the pool started up and water chemistry balanced before handover.

Trade: B-1
Open-Concept Kitchen & Beams
A bearing wall opened up and carried on a beam left exposed and painted, so the span reads as a design decision rather than a header buried in a soffit.

Trade: B-1 / C-27
Patio Cover at Handover
The framed cover from Phase 03, finished: wood-grain ceiling, fans and lighting wired and trimmed, patio poured and sealed, site swept and released to the owner.
Over 24 years of field work across framing, site construction, masonry and aquatic trades — not a sales office subcontracting it out.
02
Professional Team
Licensed operators, experienced craftsmen and a project manager who is on the job, holding the schedule and the inspection sequence.
03
High Finish
Precision concrete, true lines in masonry and carpentry, and hydraulic systems installed properly the first time. Details are the job.
04
Sustainable & Accountable
Straight communication, written scope, full bonding and insurance, and a documented warranty at closeout.
