Built on Service. Delivered with Precision.
Adam served in the US Army, then came home to build ADC Construction on one rule: treat every property like it’s your own home.
From the Army to the Job Site.
Adam grew up in the construction industry, learning the trade from his father-in-law before he could legally drive. After high school, he served in the United States Army, a decision that shaped everything that came after.
When Adam returned from service, he went back to the work he knew best. He earned his General B contractor’s license and spent years building his skill set under his father-in-law’s guidance. In 2022, he launched ADC Construction in Lodi, California, with a simple promise: treat every project like it’s your own home.
Four years later, that promise holds. ADC Construction handles everything from kitchen remodels and new construction to commercial roofing systems and ADUs. Residential or commercial, small repair or ground-up build, Adam’s crew delivers the same attention to detail on every job.
The license matters. The experience matters. What clients remember, though, is what happens after the project wraps. Adam answers the phone. He comes back. He builds relationships, not invoices. For homeowners and business owners across the Central Valley who care about quality over speed, ADC Construction is the contractor who stays in your contacts permanently.

How Adam Runs a Job.
Every ADC project starts the same way: Adam walks the property with you. No salesman, no office manager reading a script. The guy who holds the license looks at the space, listens to what you want, asks how you use it and what has bugged you about it for years. Then he measures, takes photos, and goes home to put a real number together.
The written quote spells out scope, materials, and schedule in plain English. If a wall is coming out, it says so. Allowances for fixtures and finishes are listed as line items so you can see where the money goes and move things around before anything gets ordered. Adam would rather lose a job to an honest number than win it with a low bid that grows every week. He learned that from his father-in-law, and it is why most of ADC’s work comes from referrals.
Once the contract is signed, the job gets a schedule and the schedule gets kept. Permits go through ADC’s General B license, inspections get booked ahead so the crew is not standing around waiting on the county, and the subs are trades Adam has worked with for years. You get a text or a call every week telling you what happened and what happens next. When something unexpected turns up inside a wall, and in older Central Valley homes it usually does, you hear about it the same day with options and prices. No surprises on the final invoice.
The last step is a walkthrough with a punch list. The job is done when you have walked every room and signed off that it is right. If a drawer sticks or a paint line is soft, it gets fixed before the final payment.
What a General B License Actually Means
Plenty of homeowners have never been told what the letter on a contractor’s license covers. It decides what he is legally allowed to build.
California issues a Class B General Building license to contractors qualified to run projects involving two or more trades. That covers a whole-home remodel, an ADU, or a ground-up build: framing, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and finish work under one responsible party. A painter or a handyman cannot legally contract that work. A General B contractor can, and the state holds him accountable for every trade on the job.
Getting the license means proving four years of journeyman experience, passing the state exams, carrying a bond, and keeping workers’ comp current. Every complaint, permit, and inspection follows that license number for the life of the business. Adam earned his after years of framing, roofing, and finish work with his father-in-law, and the number is on every contract ADC signs.
What it means for you is pretty simple. Permits get pulled in ADC’s name, so the company answers to the building department, not you. Licensed and bonded work is work your insurance company and any future buyer’s inspector will accept. And unpermitted remodels usually knock more off a home’s sale price than the permit would have cost, because lenders flag them during escrow.
When you compare bids, ask every contractor for their license number and look it up on the CSLB site. It takes two minutes. If the number is borrowed, expired, or for a different trade, walk away.
Rooted in Lodi. Working the Whole Valley.
ADC works a thirty-mile circle around the shop on West Pine Street in Lodi. That covers a lot of different country: the wine flats around Lodi and Lockeford, the Delta towns like Walnut Grove, the suburbs of Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Citrus Heights, Stockton, and the Gold Country foothills up through Sutter Creek, Pine Grove, and Pioneer.
Each of those places builds differently. Valley floor soil around Lodi and Stockton is expansive clay that moves with the seasons, which changes how you pour slabs and detail foundations. Foothill work in Amador and Calaveras counties means fire-hardening rules, steeper lots, and long private drives that change how materials get staged. Older neighborhoods in Sacramento and Stockton have knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, and galvanized plumbing that a remodel has to bring up to code. The newer stock in Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova is more about layout changes, ADUs, and outdoor living.
Summer heat changes the schedule too. When the Valley runs a week over 100, concrete pours move to early morning and roofing crews come off the deck by early afternoon. Planning around that is one reason ADC’s schedules hold through July and August while other contractors’ slip.
The thirty miles is on purpose. It means Adam can get to any jobsite in under forty-five minutes, check two or three projects in a day, and come back fast when a past client calls. The Bay Area is excluded because chasing work over the Altamont means less time on the jobs already on the books. Every town ADC covers is on the service areas page, from Amador County down through San Joaquin and up into Sacramento County.
Things People Ask Adam
Is ADC Construction really veteran-owned, or is that a marketing line?
Adam served in the United States Army after high school and started ADC Construction in 2022 after coming home and getting his contractor’s license. He owns the company and runs it day to day. It shows up in the basics: crews show up when they said they would, the jobsite gets swept every evening, and the schedule gets kept.
Does Adam actually work on the projects, or does he just sell them?
Adam walks every property himself, writes every quote himself, and is on his jobsites constantly. ADC is deliberately sized so the owner can put eyes on every project at every major stage. When you call the number on this site, the phone in Adam’s pocket rings. That structure is the whole point of hiring a company like this instead of a franchise with a sales team.
What kinds of projects does ADC take on?
Both residential and commercial work: kitchen, bathroom, basement, and whole-home remodels, ADUs, new construction, framing, decks, patios, pergolas, drywall, and a full roofing division that handles repair, replacement, warranty, and insurance work. If a project combines several of those trades, that is exactly the work a General B contractor exists to run. Browse the services page for the full list.
How far will ADC travel for a project?
About thirty miles from Lodi in any direction except west toward the Bay. That covers Stockton, Elk Grove, Sacramento, Folsom, Tracy, Ripon, and the foothill towns of Amador and Calaveras counties. Staying inside that circle keeps drive time short, which keeps supervision tight and lets Adam respond fast when a past client needs something handled.
Are quotes really free? What is the catch?
The on-site visit and the written quote cost nothing and you are not committing to anything. The number is a real, itemized price, not a teaser that grows once work starts. Nearly all of ADC’s work comes from referrals and repeat clients, so honest numbers are just good business.
Who actually swings the hammers on an ADC job?
ADC’s own crew handles framing, carpentry, drywall, roofing, and finish work. Specialty trades like HVAC are subs Adam has worked with for years and stands behind under his own license. Every person on your property is someone Adam knows, and the same faces come back day after day until the job is done.
