The gateway to the Central Valley, Stockton has a rich culture as the home to many museums and galleries, festivals, and restaurants of international cuisines—it all reflects Stockton’s status as America’s most diverse city.

This list of the best commercial contractors in Stockton features some of the companies that have contributed to the storied city’s landscape. They bring decades of experience building for different markets across the state.

Wayne Bogart is a founding principal of the firm and brings over 30 years of experience in project management. He now leads the team with the same principles it was originally built on: integrity, professionalism, efficiency, and value.

Jane and Dan Spediacci founded Spediacci Construction in 1999 and continue to lead the firm as it builds retail, commercial, and residential projects on the West Coast. Spediacci has completed high-profile projects for clients such as Macy’s, Kenneth Cole, and Tesla. The firm delivers the same quality workmanship and attention to detail on every project, whether it’s a 50,000-square-foot retail project or a custom home remodel.

The historic Winchester Mystery House in San Jose continues to capture the attention of many thanks to its status as the subject of movies and TV shows. It has even inspired a theme park attraction: The Haunted Mansion at Disney Parks. Spediacci remodeled the landmark’s gift shop, which includes an area that plays on its reputation as a haunted house. The space has a rustic wood motif from the flooring to the different displays arranged with plenty of room to move around. It’s all brightened by skylights and spotlights in its charcoal ceiling.

President Craig Miller started his business in Oregon in 1978 but moved to California in 1986 after marrying his wife, Norma. Miller Pacific has since focused on this market but has also completed projects in ten western states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Its reputation for quality workmanship at a reasonable price has earned it the trust of many quick-service restaurant clients across the state, including Burger King, Carl’s, Jr., Domino’s, Jack in the Box, Popeye’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and WingStop.

The firm has built multiple locations for chicken wings and sports bar Buffalo Wild Wings.
