What Our Clients say..
Posted on Liz O'HaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Palacios Construction was professional, skilled, and responsive. They listened to me and made great suggestions, followed through, and checked to be sure I was happy with the result. I’d recommend them!Posted on Daniel MaltsevTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a realtor in the South Bay / Monterey Peninsula and I reached out to Christian and his team to take care of a few small things that were missing in my clients’ home before we sold it. I had a quick phone call with Christian and sent over the work we needed done, within two days he sent me the estimate for the job. The entire job was done within a week from when I first reached out to Christian. Granted, it was a smaller job, but I’ve worked with several contractors in the past and I can count on one hand the number of them that were as quick and thorough as Christian and his crew. I would definitely recommend working with Christian and his team!Posted on Beth McCrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Palacios Construction redid our fireplace face and hearth and we love the result. Christian had lots of great ideas to help us decide what we wanted to replace the existing outdated stone with. We had it done in a Shiplap style that turned out great. It lightens up the whole room. They did a great job (shout-out to Dave for all his hard work and craftsmanship) We knew the result would be good, because Christian and his crew also redid our floors in LVP in the kitchen and family room. They put a new kitchen sink in and an island hood as well. Very nice results. Thank you so much Christian, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from us again when we do our next upgrade 😊Posted on Marco SoldanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian handled the complete renovation of my home in Monterey, complete teardown of ceiling, floors, then new floorpan and rebuild. The result is spectacular, his attention to details and the "can-do" attitude are great. Every single sub-con he brought in, from flooring, electrical, plumbing etc was top notch and his workers have the most positive attitude. I went thru 3 general contractors before finding Palacios and none of them was even close. The bid process was very transparent, with everything documented online. I am very grateful for the hard work and passion he has put into my project and I would not recommend anyone else in the Monterey area.Posted on Charlie NotthoffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian and his crew did a great job on our mid-century modern house, that has many features not found on today's houses.Posted on Joss LosadaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the pleasure to witness Palacios Construction in action on a recent project. Christian runs a great crew, making sure all of the details are kept in mind for his projects. I would definitely call on him when I am ready for a revamp on my home.Posted on David DiazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional. Addressed all Concerns with the worked on our sliding doorPosted on Ryan GranchalekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sorry for the long review but there is a lot to cover :) From the onset of our extensive home remodeling project in Pacific Grove, CA, Christian and his team at Palacios Construction have been nothing short of remarkable! Their dedication to quality, attention to detail, and the seamless execution of my vision transformed our living space. Christian, the owner, was personally involved in every step of the process, ensuring that our two bathroom upgrades were not only functional but also exuded modern elegance. His suggestions were invaluable, blending practicality with aesthetic appeal, which resulted in bathrooms that balanced our budget and desires. The kitchen redesign was a massive undertaking, and Christian's expertise shone through. He helped us navigate through countless options to find the perfect balance between style and usability. The end result is a kitchen that is not only beautiful but also a joy to cook and entertain in. The addition of a new deck has enhanced our outdoor space equally. Christian's choice of materials and design has created an inviting extension of our home that we enjoy daily. The painting, siding, flooring, and drywall work were all completed with the same level of care and precision. Christian's team was punctual and courteous and always left the workspace clean at the end of each day. Throughout the project, Christian was communicative, transparent with costs, and always available to address any concerns or changes we wanted to make. (and I made a lot) Here is the real test... when something goes wrong (and if you have done construction something always does), will they back it up? I had two issues arise, and without hesitation (and out of warranty, might I say), Christian immediately responded and resolved both issues to my satisfaction... I hope you enjoy the pictures and consider his team for your project :)Posted on Paige ChristineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Palacios Construction is fantastic! Christian incredibly nice and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and exceptional service.Posted on D DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Palacios construction..2 words..CALL THEM! I had my garage walls re-plastered by them and they did a great job! Christian was in touch promptly, his crew prepped the area to not make a mess, and they finished the job in a timely manner. Christian would also come by often to check in on the work and if I was satisfied with everything. Professional company. I also am looking to take an interior wall out. Christian has answered my questions over the years (while I lagged on the project) and was never pushy. I look forward to hiring Palacios Construction again 🤙🏼

Frequently Asked Questions For Our General Contractors In Aptos
Yes. Palacios Construction is a fully licensed general contractor in California, holding license number 1071780. Maintaining this license means we meet the professional standards required by the State of California and operate in full compliance with state regulations.
For homeowners in Aptos, hiring a licensed general contractor means your project is managed by a qualified professional who ensures the work meets applicable building codes and is supervised with the level of oversight your investment deserves.
Palacios Construction backs every residential remodeling and construction project with a full 1-year workmanship warranty.
Beyond that, we return for scheduled check-ins at roughly the 3-month and 11-month points to evaluate the completed work and address anything that needs attention. For us, a finished project is not the end of the relationship. We stand behind what we build and stay accessible to our Aptos clients long after the final walkthrough is complete.
When building home additions and ADUs in Aptos, we walk homeowners through design and planning as an integrated part of the project scope. This covers on-site evaluations, detailed field measurements, preparation of construction documents, guidance on finish and material selections, and full permit coordination.
This process ensures your addition or ADU works well with your existing home, meets local code requirements, and is planned with both function and buildability in mind. Design support is built into these larger construction projects and is not available as a separate, standalone service.
A whole-home remodel in Aptos generally takes between 12 and 24+ weeks, though the actual duration depends on factors like the size of the home, the extent of the work, material lead times, and whether structural changes are part of the scope.
Each project starts with a thorough consultation where we assess your home’s current condition and discuss what you’re looking to accomplish. Once the scope is clearly defined, we outline a realistic construction schedule. Our focus is always on doing the work right and managing the project well, which means building in the flexibility needed to maintain quality through every phase.
