Daly City is a coastal community located at the northernmost edge of San Mateo County. Sitting directly south of San Francisco, the community is notable for its inclusivity and diversity as many Asian and Latin communities call it home. A small city by California standards, the “Gateway to the Peninsula’s” strategic location and safe and family-friendly neighborhoods make it an ideal place to take up residence.

This list presents the top five general contractors that accommodate that type of work in Daly City. These contractors were chosen based on the number of projects, certifications, and the value and quality of their projects.

Prosper Construction Development

180 Steuart St., San Francisco, CA 94119

Prosper Construction Development started with a couple of developers who renovated old houses in San Francisco. As word spread of their work, more and more residents hired them for a variety of residential projects, from foundation repairs and kitchen remodels to custom home construction. Over the years, the group grew to include an engineer, architect, and interior designer capable of providing complete design-build services. By 2012, the company evolved into a full-service Bay-Area construction and project-management company. 

As true artisans, Prosper Construction Development focuses on providing expert craftsmanship for every project, big or small.

Its professionals practice transparency and open communication throughout the process. Clients like the company for being clear about the cost, the scope, and the length of a project, as well as being open about any issues that arise during the course of any job. 

One of the firm’s elegant works is this renovated home on Marietta Drive in Oakland. The company replaced three load-bearing walls with a single support beam to open up the family home to a more spacious light-filled interior. The new layout is perfect for the family, who love to entertain. The firm also renovated two bathrooms, completed an addition, and landscaped the backyard.
