CSCI Construction
Custom homes, remodels and hardscape in Santa Clara, with a capped project list and the owner on each job.
Acerca de
California Specialty Contractors Inc goes by a shorter trade name, CSCI Construction, and builds and remodels homes in Santa Clara and the surrounding South Bay. This directory listed the company at 2574 Lafayette Street. Its own website, and its federal carrier registration filed in 2024, now give an office at 3148 El Camino Real, Suite 110, so confirm the current address and phone before you visit.
Building and remodeling work
The company names three lines of work: custom home building, remodeling, and hardscape, meaning the patios, walkways, retaining walls and driveways around a house. It also says it limits how many projects it accepts each year so that clients deal with the owner directly rather than through a layer of project managers. The chamber's import files the business under painting and paper hanging as well; the website does not advertise painting as a separate service, so ask if that is the part of a job you need.
Before you sign a contract
The website displays a contractors board number, 884951. Look it up at cslb.ca.gov, where the record shows the classifications the number covers, the bond, and workers' compensation status. For any home improvement job, California requires a written contract, and the down payment may not exceed 10 percent of the contract price or one thousand dollars, whichever is less. Ask for a schedule of progress payments tied to finished stages of work, and settle in writing who applies for permits with the City of Santa Clara building division and who meets the inspector. For a custom home or a large remodel, ask who will be on site each day, how change orders are priced and approved, and how long the drawings and plan check are expected to take before any digging starts.
Santa Clara and nearby cities
From El Camino Real the company is close to every part of the northern valley floor: San Jose, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Milpitas, Mountain View and Los Gatos are all within a short drive. Hardscape and remodel projects in the older neighborhoods of Santa Clara County often run into tight side yards and mature trees, so walk the site with the builder before the estimate is written.
The phone on this listing is 408-845-9010, the number on the company's federal registration. The CSCI website gives 408-900-6610; try that number if the first does not connect.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow do I check a contractor's licence in California?
Enter the licence number at cslb.ca.gov. The record shows the business name, the classifications held, the bond, workers' compensation coverage and any disciplinary history. The CSCI website displays number 884951; check it before signing.
How much can a contractor ask for up front?
On a home improvement contract in California, the down payment is capped at 10 percent of the contract price or one thousand dollars, whichever is less. Later payments should match work actually completed.
Who pulls the building permit?
Either the contractor or the owner can apply, but the contract should say which. When the contractor pulls it, the contractor usually schedules and attends the city inspections too. Ask for the permit number before work starts.
How long does a custom home or large remodel take?
Design and plan check in South Bay cities often take several months before construction begins, and building can run a year or more. Ask for a written schedule with milestones and how delays are communicated.
