Who We Are

Schultz Construction is a third-generation, full-service general contracting firm. We hold both General Building (B) and General Engineering (A) licenses with the State of California, with nearly fifty years of experience across residential, commercial and engineering work.

As our motto “No Holds Barred” indicates, we are not afraid to tackle any project — whatever its scope or complexity — and have the expertise to back up that claim. We specialise in projects of the highest quality, and are proud of our ability to complete them in today's marketplace.

Bill Schultz started his career as a union carpenter in San Diego. After a tour in the U.S. Army and college at Sonoma State, he received his California State Contractor's license in 1977 and has worked in Santa Cruz and the Central Coast ever since.

We are builders of the old school — we self-perform all layout, earthwork, concrete and foundation, rough and finish carpentry, supervision and project management. Our craftsmanship is second to none.

Philosophy of Building

We take the intangible concepts of form, structure, shape, colour and function and transform them — through the alchemy of sweat, skill, experience and no small measure of creativity — into dirt, concrete, wood, steel and glass.

Although we exist in a world of profit margins and bottom lines, our motivation for taking up our trade has less to do with enriching ourselves than with our sense of craftsmanship and pride at a job well done. If this were not so, we certainly would have become stock brokers or realtors — anything that didn't require that we hammer, saw, dig and lift heavy materials all day, every day.
