ABOUT US

who we are

Started in 2020. Built on Referrals.


SGM Builders Inc. was founded by Salvador Garcia in 2020. The company is based in Hollister, California, and operates throughout the Bay Area — from San Benito County up through Santa Clara County.

The idea behind SGM was simple: there were too many homeowners going through construction projects feeling confused, ignored, or surprised at the end by things that should have been communicated from the beginning. Salvador started the company to do things differently — smaller crew, direct communication, full involvement from design to the final walkthrough.

It’s stayed that way. SGM is a focused team. You’re not getting handed off to a project manager you’ve never met. You deal with the same people throughout your project.

Salvador Garcia. President & Founder

Salvador has been working in construction for years. He's fluent in English and Spanish, which matters because a significant portion of the families we work with in Hollister, Gilroy, and Morgan Hill feel more comfortable working through the details in Spanish budgets, timelines, material choices, all of it.

He started SGM because he saw how often homeowners got lost in the process. Permits are confusing. Design decisions pile up. Change orders come out of nowhere. The goal from day one was to build a company where clients felt informed at every stage, not just at the beginning and the end.

Design and Plans

Every successful project starts with a solid plan. We provide design services and detailed plans to guide your construction process from start to finish. We work closely with you to bring your vision to life while ensuring everything is aligned with Saratoga’s local requirements and standards.

What Clients Can Expect

We set this expectation with every new client: you will know what’s happening with your project at every stage. If something changes timing, materials, anything  you hear about it from us before it affects the project, not after.

Every project we complete comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. That’s the California standard, and we stand behind it.

Free estimates. No commitment required. We come out, look at the project, answer your questions, and give you a written number. After that, the decision is yours.
