BUILT ON TRUST. DRIVEN BY CRAFT.

Every project is led with the perspective of someone who's worked every job on a jobsite — from digging the first ditch to running the final walkthrough. We serve every corner of San Diego County, from coastal La Jolla to inland Escondido.

We partner with top-tier subcontractors, architects, and structural engineers — a hand-picked network we've built relationships with over the years. Whether your project needs full architectural plans or just a skilled crew, we bring the right team to the table.

ANTHONY GONZALES

President & Founder · Lifetime San Diego Native

"There's knowledge in this trade that can't be taught — it has to be earned. Every job I've ever held in construction is now a job I can run."

A second-generation general contractor born and raised in San Diego, Anthony spent ten years inside his family's construction company working every single position on the way up — digging ditches, apprentice, journeyman, foreman, superintendent, project manager, and finally a C-level role. That ladder, climbed one rung at a time, is the foundation everything at Advance Construction Company is built on.

In 2016, Anthony founded ACC to bring something the industry was missing: a better product, better systems, better efficiency, and the kind of clear, honest communication that turns construction projects from stressful into seamless. Outside of work, he's a husband, a father of three, and a believer in health, family, and time well spent with the people who matter.

Anthony, from Advance Construction, is my general contractor referral partner. I have been impressed with how his team evaluates a project beginning with the site inspection. I refer all my legal and real estate clients to him who are looking for an honest contractor for their next ADU or other home improvement project. I can recommend Advance Construction without reservation.

Good communication throughout the project (gut renovation). Bathrooms are on point. Problem solvers when issues came up. Threw them a huge curveball moving in one week earlier than planned. Can't count the number of times they said "we'll take care of it." A+ would do business with again.

Anthony and his crew at Advance Construction Company helped me with a major renovation project for my rental property. From start to finish, Anthony made sure everything went smoothly and timely. He kept me posted throughout the project without me having to be there. His bid was very competitive and the results exceeded my expectations.

Common Questions

FAQ

Are you licensed?

Yes. Advance Construction Company holds California Contractors State License #1018840 in perfect standing with the CSLB.

Do you pull permits?

Absolutely. We handle all required permits for your project as part of our process. Proper permitting protects you legally and ensures your work passes inspection.

How long does an ADU take to build?

Most ADU projects take 4–8 months from permit approval to completion, depending on size and complexity. We give you a detailed timeline before we break ground.

What areas do you serve?

We serve all of San Diego County — from Oceanside in the north to Chula Vista and National City in the south, and everywhere in between.

How does pricing work?

Every project is unique. We provide free, detailed written estimates after an initial consultation. We believe in transparent pricing — no hidden fees, ever.

How does your payment schedule work?

Our payments are tied to milestones, never to calendar dates. You only pay as real, verifiable progress is completed on your project — foundation poured, framing up, drywall in, finishes installed, and so on. This protects your investment, ensures every dollar is backed by visible work, and keeps the project moving forward with full transparency from start to finish.

The first step is filling out our intake form below. It takes just a few minutes and helps us understand your project before we connect. We'll follow up within 24 hours to schedule your discovery call. You can also reach us at (858) 480-1248 or info@buildwithacc.com.
