General Contractor Serving All of Ventura County

Serving All 15 Cities & Communities · Licensed & Insured · Lic. #1027281 · Since 1994

Master Construction has built across Ventura County since 1994, from the beach cities on the Oxnard Plain to the Conejo Valley, up the Santa Clara River Valley, and out to the ranch country around Somis. Every one of those places builds differently. Coastal salt and slab moisture on one side of the county, hillside grading and fire requirements on the other, and a separate building department in nearly every city. We already know how each of them runs a plan check.

What We Do

Twenty services, one contract.

Master Construction covers twenty services across Ventura County, all under California license #1027281. One contract, one schedule, one company responsible for the whole job:

Homeowners are most of this page, but not all of it. Property managers call us for tenant turnovers and multi-unit repairs priced per unit. HOA boards get certificates of insurance, board-ready scopes and SB 326 deck work through our HOA and property maintenance team. Project managers get one licensed point of contact for every trade on the list above. Same crews, different paperwork.

Where We Build

Cities and communities we serve.

Each city page covers the local housing stock, the permit process for that jurisdiction, and the work we do there most often.

Not on the list? We work throughout Ventura County and the western edge of Los Angeles County. Call (805) 667-8800 and we will tell you plainly whether your project is a good fit.

County Knowledge

One county, four building environments.

Ventura County is small enough to cross in an hour and varied enough that a detail which works on one side of it fails on the other. Thirty years of building here means knowing which is which before the drawings start, not after a plan check correction.

The coast and the Oxnard Plain.

Salt air, marine-layer humidity, sandy soil and a high water table. On the beach side of Oxnard, Port Hueneme and the Pierpont neighborhoods of Ventura, corrosion-resistant fixings, flashing detail and slab moisture control matter more than anything you choose for looks. Properties near the water can also pick up coastal review on top of the building permit, which runs on its own timetable.

The Conejo Valley.

Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills are mostly 1960s to 1990s housing now hitting its remodel years, wrapped in protected open space. That brings three constraints at once: HOA architectural review in many neighborhoods, oak tree protection that reaches into the root zone, and wildland-urban interface standards governing roofing, eaves and vents along the open-space edge.

The Santa Clara River Valley.

Santa Paula, Fillmore and the citrus country between them hold the oldest housing stock in the county. Knob and tube wiring, galvanized supply lines, century-old framing and settled foundations are normal here. The work is as much about modernizing systems as it is about finishes.

The inland valleys and ranch country.

Simi Valley sits in its own warm valley where summer heat makes HVAC sizing and attic insulation decisive rather than optional. Moorpark, Camarillo and Ojai each mix newer tracts against older cores. Out around Somis the properties run on wells and septic under agricultural zoning, on acreage where site work and drainage matter more than the house.

Permits & Plan Check

Permits change at every city line.

Ventura County has ten incorporated cities, and each one runs its own building department with its own submittal system, plan check queue and fee schedule. Drawings that clear plan check in Ventura can come back with corrections in Simi Valley or Camarillo. We submit in all of them regularly, so a package goes in built to the rules that city actually applies rather than the ones next door.

A few are worth knowing in advance. Newbury Park has no building department of its own. It is part of the City of Thousand Oaks, so permits run through the Thousand Oaks Building Division. Across most of the newer neighborhoods in Moorpark and Camarillo, HOA architectural review runs alongside the city permit on a separate monthly calendar. Westlake Village and Agoura Hills sit in Los Angeles County altogether: different code adoption, different systems, a different fee schedule, and a regular surprise for owners expecting a Ventura County process.

We hold the permit relationship on your behalf in all of them. That means the submittal is assembled to the rules that jurisdiction actually applies, and the correction cycle is ours to chase rather than yours.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Are you a licensed general contractor in Ventura County?

Yes. Master Construction holds California contractor license #1027281 and has built in Ventura County since 1994. We are fully insured, and our showroom and offices are at 1450 E. Thompson Blvd in Ventura.

Which cities do you serve?

All fifteen cities and communities listed above, from Ventura and Oxnard on the coast to Simi Valley inland, plus Westlake Village and Agoura Hills on the Los Angeles County side of the line. Unincorporated county areas like Somis are regular territory for us, not an exception.

Do you handle the building permits?

Yes, in every jurisdiction we work in. We prepare the submittal package, file it with the city or county building department, and chase the plan check corrections ourselves. You sign the application. We do the rest.

Do you work with HOAs and property managers?

Every week. We provide certificates of insurance, board-ready scopes and bids, SB 326 deck inspections and repairs, and per-unit pricing for multi-unit work. See our HOA and property maintenance page for the full program.

What does a general contractor cost in Ventura County?

It depends on scope, site conditions and the jurisdiction, which is why we do not quote from the phone. We walk the property, then put a written estimate in front of you with the scope spelled out line by line. The consultation costs nothing.

Do you take on smaller projects?

Yes. Twenty service lines means the same company that builds custom homes also handles a drywall repair, an electrical panel, or a single bathroom. Small jobs get the same licensed crews and the same written scope.

How fast can you respond to water damage?

Our water damage restoration team runs 24/7 across the county. Call our emergency line at (805) 414-0840 any hour and a crew dispatches the same day. For scheduling and estimates, the office line is (805) 667-8800.
