About

Meet Alder Construction

Alder Construction is a Bay Area general contractor specializing in high-end residential remodels.

We partner closely with homeowners, architects, and designers to deliver projects with clarity, precision, and a strong attention to detail from planning through completion. Our work is grounded in craftsmanship, thoughtful execution, and a commitment to building spaces that feel as refined as they are functional.

Our Core
Values

  • Thoughtful Planning

    Good work starts long before construction does. We take the time to think things through, work out the details, and get things right from the start — because a little extra planning can make a big difference down the line.

  • Collaborative

    We work hand in hand with our clients, architects, and designers to bring a project together. We ask questions, work through challenges, and make decisions together before they become problems on site.

  • Transparent

    Renovations come with a lot of moving parts. We keep clients in the loop on progress, costs, and what's coming next, so there are fewer surprises and everyone knows where things stand.

  • Built to Last

    A finished project should look good, work well, and hold up to everyday life. We care about the materials, the workmanship, and the small finishing details that make a home feel right.

Meet Conor

I'm originally from Donegal, Ireland, and made the move to San Francisco to build a life and career here. My background is in residential construction and fine carpentry, where I learned the value of hard work, patience, and getting the details right.

Over the years, I saw how much the experience of building or renovating a home depends on more than just the work itself. Good planning, clear communication, and having people you can trust make all the difference. That's what I wanted to build Alder around.

Today, I stay hands-on with our projects and take pride in the work we do and the relationships we build along the way. For me, it comes down to taking pride in the work, doing right by our clients, and making sure they're happy with the result.
