About the Organization

Pacific Construction & Restoration is a growing general contracting firm based in Los Angeles. We project $6–8M in annual revenue for 2026, with HOAs as our primary client base across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

Our culture is entrepreneurial, fast-moving, and performance-driven. We are seeking a leader who wants to build with us, not merely maintain.
