Our Story

A Family Legacy in Construction

Drake Contracting, Inc. Is a third-generation commercial general contractor headquartered in Clovis, California. The Drake family has been building in the Central Valley since the 1980s, and Drake Contracting, Inc. Has been operating as the current entity since 2000, serving businesses, communities, and congregations across the region.

What started as a family trade has grown into a full-service commercial construction firm, but the values haven't changed. Steve and Sean Drake still lead every project personally, bringing the same hands-on work ethic and attention to detail that built this company's reputation.

We don't believe in corporate layers or faceless project management. When you hire Drake Contracting, you get the owners, on the phone, on the jobsite, and invested in your project's success from day one through final walkthrough.
