General Contractor in Orange County
CRS Construction is a licensed California general contractor (CSLB #1021647) based in Fountain Valley. We run the whole remodel for you: permits, subcontractors, inspections, and the schedule, from the first site visit to final completion.
Who runs your remodel
One licensed general contractor for Orange County remodels, start to finish
A remodel has a lot of moving parts. Framers, plumbers, electricians, drywall, tile, and finish carpenters all have to show up in the right order, and the city has to sign off between several of those steps. When you hire CRS Construction as your general contractor in Orange County, you get one company that owns that sequence and one phone number to call when you have a question.
We start with a visit to your home. We walk the space with you, look at what's behind the work you want done (framing, plumbing runs, the electrical panel), and talk through what you want to change. After that visit we put together a written estimate with a defined scope, so you can see what's included before anything gets signed.
Once the job is approved, project management is our responsibility. We pull the permits, book inspections, line up subcontractors, and keep the schedule moving toward completion. If something unexpected turns up after demolition, we stop and explain it, then write a change order. Extra work only starts after you approve it in writing.
Our office is in Fountain Valley, and we take home remodeling and renovation jobs across the county, including Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, and Dana Point. We also work in Anaheim, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and Mission Viejo. Each city runs its own building department, and we work with them on the client's behalf.
Plenty of Orange County general contractors can quote a job. What matters to most homeowners is who is accountable once the walls are open. We put the scope in writing, keep you updated as the work moves, and finish the punch list before we call a job done.

Common questions
General contractor FAQ
What does a general contractor do, and when do I need one for a remodel?
A general contractor takes responsibility for the whole project. That means planning the work, hiring and scheduling the trades, ordering materials, getting permits, meeting inspectors, and making sure the finished job matches the agreed scope. You generally need one when a remodel involves more than one trade or needs a permit, which covers most kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, and ADUs. Swapping a faucet is a handyman job. Moving a wall, rerouting plumbing, or adding a circuit is where a licensed general contractor in Orange County keeps the trades coordinated and the job up to code.
How do I verify a California contractor license?
Go to the CSLB license lookup at cslb.ca.gov and search by license number or business name. Check that the license status is active, that a contractor's bond is on file, and that workers' compensation coverage is listed or the contractor has a valid exemption. You can look up CRS Construction under CSLB #1021647. In California, a contractor generally must hold a CSLB license for any job where labor and materials together total $1,000 or more. This is general information, not legal advice, so check with the CSLB directly if you have questions about a specific situation.
How are permits and inspections handled?
We handle them. During the estimate we identify which parts of the work need a permit from your city. Once you approve the job, we prepare and submit the permit application and respond to any plan check comments. During construction we schedule each required inspection at the right stage, such as before walls are closed up, and we meet the inspector on site. If an inspector asks for a correction, we make it and book the re-inspection. You get a finished project with the permit signed off, which matters when you sell or refinance.
How do the written estimate and change orders work?
After the site visit, we send a written estimate that lays out the scope: what we will build, which materials are included, and what is excluded. That document becomes the baseline for the job. If you decide to add something, or we find a problem once walls or floors are open, we write a change order that describes the added work and its cost. We do not start the extra work until you approve that change order. It keeps the budget conversation clear and avoids surprises at the end of the project.
What kinds of projects does CRS Construction take on?
We focus on residential remodeling and construction services. That includes kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, ADUs, room additions, garage conversions, and whole-home renovations. Some clients come to us with a single room. Others want several rooms done at once and need one general contractor to run all of it on a single schedule. If you are not sure whether your project is a fit, call (714) 486-2472. We will set up a site visit, look at the space, and give you a free written quote.
