WE PARTNER WITH TOP ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS FOR AWESOME RESULTS
TerraRevo Builders is at the forefront of residential construction in Silicon Valley. When we are done with your project, the street value of your most important asset, your home, is typically worth far more than the cost of construction. We pride ourselves on our ability to tackle the most demanding construction projects with poise, precision, and at a price structure our customers can afford. We have built on steep grades, during atmospheric rivers, through pandemics, and when it is extremely difficult to find local resources and talent. We have seen it all and offer homeowners invaluable experience, strong trade relationships, and true craftsmen for where it counts the most. Just ask our clients!
We like to get involved early and before the design process if possible. We think the right approach for any residential construction project is to first identify what the essential requirements are for a renovation or the creation of a new custom home. With this information and an assumed scope of work, we can develop a range for what the costs are likely to be based on those assumptions and the real-world costs we are seeing for the projects we are building now. Then, the homeowner can quickly determine if they have the financial resources to move forward or if further adjustments to the scope and future design efforts must be made.
Most of our present work involves rehabilitating very old structures and building up and out to create more living space. This sort of work is harder than most ground-up construction projects and is a technical art form that we have honed over the years.
We rely on referrals from past and present clients to forge new relationships. General contractors are not all created equal. Some have no business doing the more difficult multifaceted projects. We invite you to sit down with us early on in your project to learn the differences. We welcome you to talk to our clients and to visit our ongoing and completed projects. Working with your designer/architect or one that we refer you to, we are ready to be your Class B general contractor of record taking on each and every facet of residential construction.
PEOPLE AT OUR CORE

JON CONDREY
Jon, our company founder, got his industry start working with a design-build firm that built most of the custom homes in Blackhawk, the first major master planned luxury home development in the San Francisco East Bay. Jon has helped countless homeowners with resource planning and putting together amazing new homes. He is directly responsible for pulling the resources and people together to make each construction project a success story for all to appreciate. Prior to TerraRevo Builders, Jon helped guide Silicon Valley startups and tech titans for two decades managing their real estate strategies to rapidly expand operations and headcounts locally and around the world. This experience translates to satisfying results for all stakeholders, and to getting construction projects done on time and on budget.
“My favorite part of concluding a construction project is standing in the finished home and recognizing all the people and skills involved, the hundreds of decisions made on the windows, doors, hardware, flooring, mill work, tile, paint colors, countertops, and the design itself. So much of what we do starts with a design that meets the homeowner’s unique vision. We work to draw out that vision early on and at various intervals to make sure the homeowner achieves the intended outcome right down to the smallest detail.”

HECTOR VARGAS
Hector has been building custom homes in Silicon Valley for over 38 years. He is the main guy reading the fine details of the construction drawings, interpretating the instructions of the engineers, designers, and architects, and maintaining the quality of our rough and finish work. From reinforced concrete foundations and structural elements, to exacting finish carpentry work, metal roofs, and every other component in between, Hector coordinates with our workers and subcontractors to build-out and complete our work under what can be highly compressed completion schedules comprised of dozens of subcontractors all working in parallel to “get it done”.
Hector prides himself on having put together a great team of people and artisans for every facet of construction and consistently works with the same people over and over again to achieve the best possible results. He pours his energy into quality "fit and finish" work and is directly responsible for meeting the high expectations of designers, architects, and those of our clients.
SUE GOODWIN
Sue oversees and manages our back-office operations and our “books” so the rest of us can avoid administrative stuff and spend our time in the field. From managing our construction contracts to helping to expedite permits, Sue wears lots of hats integral to the success of each project we take on.
DANA CONDREY
Dana is a creative force and can be very helpful to homeowners trying to figure out how to “pull it all together” without paying an arm and a leg doing so. When invited to do so by our homeowner clients, Dana can come up with an array of options for interior finishes based on architectural themes and construction budgets. From contemporary to exotic, Dana has a passion for both Tuscan influenced design and modern American farmhouses. Plus, Dana loves to shop which really helps to maintain enthusiasm during long construction projects.
CAL ROOK, ADVISOR
Cal has been building in Northern California for a very long time and has been involved in the creation of many stunning Mid Penninsula remodels, additions, and ground-up residential construction projects. In his advisory role with TerraRevo Builders, Cal is helping the company expand its footprint to take on more and more work in Los Gatos, Saratoga, Los Altos, Woodside, and other surrounding communities. His many industry subcontractor relationships along the SF Peninsula and his familiarity with the terrain in the area are a welcomed plus to the business as we continue to put together the best possible group of subs to tackle any project.
