About Legacy Oaks

Built from family experience.

The founder, Josue Gonzalez, has a background in aviation maintenance, so attention to detail is something ingrained into the culture of the company. Josue learned the construction business in the field, working through different phases of residential construction and seeing firsthand how much proper planning, good communication, and attention to the work itself matter.

No empty promises.

No runaround.

Just honest craftsmanship, clear communication, and homes built to stand as part of a lasting legacy.

Our Process

A clear path from the first conversation through project completion.

  1. Step 01

    Free Consultation

    Every project starts with a conversation. We'll help identify what needs to happen before planning your future home.
  2. Step 02

    Planning

    We'll review your property, discuss the scope of work, budget, and timeline, and identify the next steps needed before construction can begin.
  3. Step 03

    Design

    We collaborate with your architect to design a home that can be built the way it is drawn.
  4. Step 04

    Construction

    During construction, Legacy Oaks coordinates the schedule for day to day project execution while remaining your primary point of contact from start to finish.
  5. Step 05

    Final Walkthrough

    We walk the project with you, document remaining items, complete final corrections, and make sure you understand the systems and finishes in your home.
  6. Step 06

    Ongoing Support

    Project turnover does not mean the relationship disappears. If a question comes up after completion, you still know who to call.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question isn't here, ask it directly. We'll answer the same day.

Do you build outside your immediate region?+

Yes, we take on a small number of out of market projects each year when the schedule and site allow us to maintain the same level of involvement and oversight.

Can you work with our architect?+

Absolutely. Most of our projects are collaborations. When you don't have one yet, we can introduce you to designers we trust.

How many projects do you run at once?+

We intentionally keep our project count low. It allows us to remain personally involved and gives each client direct access to the person overseeing their build.

How long does a project take?+

Timelines depend heavily on design, permitting, site conditions, material lead times, and project scope. During pre construction, we'll develop a realistic schedule based on your specific project rather than give you a generic completion date.

How does pricing work?+

Depending on the project, we may use a fixed price or a cost plus contract structure. Before signing, we'll walk through the budget, allowances, fees, and major assumptions so you understand how the project is priced.
