Three Generations.
One Commitment.

Founded by Arturo Vargas in 1990, our family has been building and renovating South Bay homes for 35 years — and counting.


Our Story

Built on a Handshake and Kept on a Promise

Arturo Vargas arrived in Torrance in 1978 with 12 years of construction experience and one simple idea: do exceptional work, be honest about pricing, and finish what you start. He started Vargas Construction with two employees and a pickup truck in 1990.

We’ve completed over 1,200 projects across Los Angeles County. Many clients have used us three or four times. Some are on their second generation of Vargas projects. That loyalty is our most important metric.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Radical Transparency

Line-item estimates. Change orders in writing. Daily photo updates. You’ll never wonder what’s happening in your home.

Craftsmanship First

We use only experienced W-2 employees — no day labor. Every person on your job site has been vetted, trained, and takes pride in their work.

Respect for Your Home

We lay down floor protection, seal off work zones from living areas, and leave your home cleaner than we found it — every single day.

Community-Rooted

We live here. Our crews live here. When you hire Vargas Construction, you’re keeping dollars in the South Bay community.

Fair Pricing

We won’t be the cheapest quote and we’re proud of that. We price for quality — and we deliver it. No bait-and-switch, no surprise add-ons.

We Stand Behind Our Work

1-year warranty on all workmanship. 5-year on structural work. If something’s wrong, we fix it — no questions asked.
