Residential General Contractor in Northern California
Custom home builds, additions, and ADUs built by a contractor you can trust.
Building Homes Across Northern California
Your home is one of the most significant investments you will ever make, and who you hire to build it matters. Stonebridge Developers brings the same discipline, communication, and accountability we apply to commercial projects to every residential build. Based in Redding with over two decades of experience, we manage every subcontractor, every inspection, and every detail from approved plans through final walkthrough.
What We Build
Custom Home Construction
We build custom homes from the ground up across Northern California. Working from your approved architectural plans, we manage every phase including site preparation, foundation, framing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and final inspection through certificate of occupancy.
Home Additions
Adding square footage to an existing home requires careful coordination of structural work, permits, and existing systems. We manage every phase of your addition so the finished product integrates seamlessly with your existing home and passes final inspection.
Accessory Dwelling Units
ADUs are one of the fastest growing segments of residential construction in California. Whether you are adding a detached unit, converting a garage, or building an attached structure, we manage every phase from permit coordination through final inspection and move-in ready handover.
Remodeling and Renovations
We take on select residential remodeling and renovation projects depending on scope and complexity. Working from your approved plans, we manage subcontractors, permits, and inspections to deliver a finished result that meets your timeline and budget.
California has made significant changes to ADU regulations in recent years, making it easier than ever for homeowners to add a second unit to their property. Whether you are looking to generate rental income, house a family member, or increase the value of your home, an ADU is one of the most practical investments you can make in your property right now.
Stonebridge Developers manages ADU projects across Northern California including detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, and junior ADUs. We handle the full process from permit application coordination through construction and final inspection.
Types of ADUs We Build
Detached ADU
A fully independent structure separate from the main home. The most flexible option in terms of layout, size, and use.
Attached ADU
An addition connected to the existing home sharing at least one wall. Efficient use of existing structure and foundation.
Garage Conversion ADU
Converting an existing attached or detached garage into a living space. One of the most cost-effective ADU options for homeowners who already have the structure in place.
Junior ADU
A smaller unit created within the existing footprint of the home, typically with a private entrance. Subject to specific California size and owner-occupancy requirements.
What to Know Before You Build
California ADU law allows most single-family and multifamily properties to add at least one ADU. Local jurisdictions in Northern California including Shasta County, Redding, Chico, and Red Bluff have their own permitting processes and development standards. We navigate that process on your behalf so you are not doing it alone.
Residential Construction Management
Some homeowners and owner-builders are not looking for a general contractor to run the entire project. They need experienced oversight from someone who knows construction and can protect their interests throughout the build.
Our residential construction management service provides exactly that. We do not serve as prime contractor or manage subcontractor payments in this model. We provide dedicated project oversight, scheduling support, budget tracking, and communication management billed separately for our time and expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions

We serve homeowners, investors, and owner-builders throughout Shasta County, Tehama County, Butte County, Siskiyou County, Trinity County, and the greater Northern California region.
What areas do you serve for residential construction?
We are headquartered in Redding and serve all of Northern California including Redding, Chico, Red Bluff, Yreka, Weaverville, Anderson, Shasta Lake, Cottonwood, and surrounding communities from the Sacramento Valley north to the Oregon border.
Do you build custom homes from the ground up?
Yes. We manage custom home construction from site preparation through certificate of occupancy working from your approved architectural and engineering plans. We coordinate every subcontractor and trade throughout the full build.
Do you handle ADU construction in Northern California?
Yes. We build detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversion ADUs, and junior ADUs across Northern California. We manage the full process including permit coordination, construction, inspections, and final sign-off. California ADU regulations have made it significantly easier to add a unit to most single-family properties and we can help you understand what is possible on your lot.
How does the permitting process work for residential projects?
Once your architectural plans are approved we coordinate directly with the local building department to submit for and manage the permit process. We have experience working with permitting jurisdictions throughout Northern California including Shasta County, Butte County, Tehama County, Siskiyou County, and surrounding areas.
Do you do kitchen and bathroom remodels?
Large-scale residential remodels are considered on a project-by-project basis. For kitchen and bathroom remodels specifically, our sister company Chronic Disaster Restoration may be a better fit depending on the scope of your project.
How long does a custom home build take in Northern California?
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the home, site conditions, and local permit timelines. Most custom home projects range from ten to eighteen months from permit approval through certificate of occupancy. ADUs and additions typically run shorter depending on scope. We provide a detailed project schedule at the start of every engagement.
What is the difference between a general contractor and a construction manager for residential projects?
As your general contractor we serve as prime contractor, managing all subcontractors, coordinating permits and inspections, and taking full responsibility for delivering your project. As a construction manager we provide oversight, scheduling, and cost tracking billed separately without taking on the prime contractor role. We offer both depending on what your project requires.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured for residential construction in California?
Yes. Stonebridge Developers is fully licensed, bonded, and insured for residential construction work in California. We carry the credentials required for custom home construction, additions, and ADU projects throughout the state.
How do I get started on a residential project?
Call us at (530) 222-8228 or reach out through our contact form. We will set up an initial conversation to learn about your project, your timeline, and your goals and outline clear next steps from there.
What does the construction process look like when I build with Stonebridge?
Every project follows a clear sequence so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Initial Consultation: We start with a conversation about your project, timeline, and goals so we have a clear picture of scope before anything moves forward.
Plans and Permits: We come in after architectural plans are approved and coordinate directly with the local building department to submit for permits and manage the approval process on your behalf.
Pre-Construction Planning: Before breaking ground we finalize the project schedule, confirm subcontractor assignments, and align with you on budget, sequencing, and key milestones.
Construction: We manage every phase of the build including site preparation, foundation, framing, rough mechanical, electrical and plumbing, insulation, drywall, finishes, and exterior work. You have one point of contact throughout.
Inspections and Approvals: We coordinate all required inspections with the local building department at every phase, keeping the project compliant and on schedule.
Final Walkthrough and Certificate of Occupancy: We walk through every detail with you before considering the project complete. Once everything meets our standards and yours we obtain the certificate of occupancy and hand over a home that is ready to live in.
