Who We Are

BUILT ON TRUST. DRIVEN BY CRAFT.

Founded in 2016 by lifetime San Diego native Anthony Gonzales, Advance Construction Company carries forward a second-generation legacy of California building. 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. The result is a true turnkey experience, with one point of contact and zero guesswork.

Meet the Founder

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

Anthony and his team at Advance Construction Company were excellent. From managing a large 10-week renovation project to meeting every deadline, they did a fantastic job. Anthony had a solution for any challenges that came up during this extensive renovation. He treated this project like his personal home. Every detail was accounted for. Nothing went unnoticed. If you're looking for high quality finishes, a professional and knowledgeable contractor that goes above the call of duty, Anthony and his team are the ones to hire.

Advance Construction did an amazing & remarkable job on our bathroom. It took 3 weeks to completely remove everything & start building a walk-in shower with a double sink vanity to match. It's the most beautiful bathroom I've ever seen & still haven't learned how to truly enjoy such a lavish shower. It's like a dream come true!! Thank you for blessing us with a masterpiece.

I am a San Diego realtor and I met Anthony and his team through one of my investors. I have referred them to all my clients (buyers and sellers) and the construction and remodel experience is truly exceptional, every time. Communication was clear and prompt throughout. The quality of work exceeded expectations, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Using this team allows me to fully step back without having to oversee the project for my clients. They are my top choice for any construction or remodel needs!

I am so impressed with Advance Construction Company. Anthony and his crew are amazing at what they do. My kitchen and living areas are immaculate. My home looks like a picture in a magazine. Anthony was very communicative (top notch) with my husband and I, trustworthy — you don't need to be home, he will take care of your home like it was his. Excellent service, quality and value. Made our lives better, love to cook in my new beautiful kitchen.

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.

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.
