Who We Are

A Name Neighbors Trust

Rake Construction Inc. didn't grow because of flashy marketing. We grew because our work speaks for itself — one satisfied homeowner, one completed project, one kept promise at a time. Founded right here in San Jose, we've had the privilege of shaping this community's homes and commercial spaces for over 15 years.

We're a hands-on operation. When you hire Rake Construction, you're not handing your project to a rotating crew of subcontractors — you're getting a dedicated team that shows up, communicates, and takes ownership from day one through final walkthrough.

Whether it's a major home addition, a full remodel, or precision tile work, we apply the same standard: do it right, do it safely, and do it in a way that stands the test of time.

Licensed & Insured

Every project backed by full licensing and insurance for your peace of mind.

On-Time Delivery

We set realistic timelines and stick to them — no surprises, no delays.

Local Expertise

Deep roots in San Jose and surrounding areas for 15+ years.

Quality Guaranteed

Premium materials and skilled trades — nothing leaves our hands half-done.

Client Stories

Straight from Our Clients

We don't hand-pick these. Every review reflects a real client experience — the kind of project outcome we aim to deliver every single time.

We hired Rake Construction for a full kitchen and bathroom remodel and honestly couldn't be more pleased. They showed up when they said, communicated every step of the way, and the finished product is stunning. Our neighbors keep asking who did the work — we give out Rake's number without hesitation.

MR
Marcus R. Homeowner, San Jose, CA

Getting a 600 sq ft room addition built is stressful — or it was supposed to be. Rake Construction made the whole process feel manageable. Their estimate was accurate, the crew was professional, and they handled the permit process without us having to lift a finger. The addition blends perfectly with the rest of the house.

DP
Diana P. Homeowner, Santa Clara, CA

We brought Rake in for a commercial office buildout and they delivered top to bottom. Tile, flooring, drywall, custom carpentry — their guys handled everything. More importantly, they worked around our business hours so we barely lost a day of operations. That kind of professionalism is rare and we've already hired them again.

Questions We Hear Often

Email Us Directly
Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, always. We'll schedule a site visit, assess the scope of work, and provide you with a detailed written estimate at no charge and with no obligation. We want you to make an informed decision.

How long does a typical remodel take?

It depends on scope — a bathroom remodel might take 2–3 weeks while a full home renovation could run 2–4 months. We'll set a clear timeline during your estimate and stick to it. We build in schedule buffers so we're not scrambling at the end.

Are you licensed and insured in California?

Absolutely. Rake Construction Inc. is fully licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and carries both general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We'll provide documentation before any work begins.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. Permit requirements vary by project and city, but we're experienced with San Jose's permitting office and surrounding jurisdictions. We pull the necessary permits, schedule inspections, and keep everything above board. You won't have to deal with city hall on your own.

Can I stay in my home during a renovation?

Often, yes — especially for partial remodels. We work to minimize disruption, keep work areas sealed, and clean up at the end of each day. For larger projects that affect structural systems or multiple rooms, we'll advise you honestly on what to expect during each phase.

Do you do commercial work too?

Yes — commercial construction and tenant improvements are part of what we do. Offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and more. We understand commercial timelines and can work around business hours to minimize impact to your operation.
