In the heart of Long Beach, Coastal Contracting is striving to reflect dedication and quality when it comes to custom homes and major renovations. Founded in 2012, this family-run business has been guided by a passion for construction and a commitment to making clients’ dream homes a reality.
President Stephen Carlson’s foray into the home-building field began long before Coastal Contracting was established. As a police officer, Carlson spent his free time building cabinets and assisting family and friends with their home renovation projects. These experiences ignited his desire to help others realize their vision of home.
With unwavering support from his wife, Cherie, his son, Nicholas, and other loved ones, Carlson transformed this passion into a thriving construction business.
“At Coastal Contracting, every decision is guided by our client’s desires, ensuring their homes are as unique as their dreams,” Carlson says.
INNOVATIVE NEW OFFERINGS
He adds that Coastal Contracting’s mission is to deliver exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled professionalism in every project. The firm’s expertise lies in constructing personalized homes from scratch, offering home building and renovation services encompassing architectural plans, surveys and the support of a professional designer for interior finishes. This commitment to quality and attention to detail has made the business’s custom homes and upscale renovations highly sought after.
A recent collaboration with a new home specialist and home designer has led to an innovative service for homeowners: consultations for those who are deciding whether to build new or renovate existing homes. A soon-to-be-launched home plans and design center, featuring the latest trends and innovations in home design, are exciting additions to Coastal Contracting’s offerings.
NOT JUST ‘SELLING’ HOMES
What truly sets Coastal Contracting apart is its commitment to customer satisfaction, according to Carlson. Clients want more than just a house or a renovation. They seek a partner who educates and guides them through the home-building process, and Coastal Contracting’s role is ensuring that each client feels valued and heard.
“I prefer not to ‘sell’ homes; I educate home buyers to help them make the best decisions on their upcoming build,” Carlson says. “Early on, some of the best advice I received was to focus on building a brand committed to each client rather than worrying about sales, and I take that to heart.”
Looking to the future, Carlson aims to continue growing Coastal Contracting’s reputation for excellence and ensuring that the business — like its builds — stands the test of time. By fostering solid and lasting relationships with clients, designers, architects, subcontractors and trade partners, Coastal Contracting is more than just a business; it’s a vehicle for helping people build their dreams.
