The Sandcastle story
Four decades devoted to improving the place you call home.
Scott Pollak founded Sandcastle Builders & Development, Inc. in 1985. From its Antioch home base, the company has remained focused on residential construction—the detailed, personal work of reshaping existing homes and building new spaces for the people who live in them.
That focus reaches from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. Homeowners work with a licensed and insured contractor supported by in-house craftsmen and a defined project process.

Practical commitments, carried through every phase.
A home project asks for more than construction knowledge. It requires a clear scope, careful workmanship and a contractor who remains accountable to the finished result.
In-house craftsmanship
In-house craftsmen support the hands-on residential work that turns project specifications into finished spaces.
A defined process
The work follows a six-stage sequence, from the initial review meeting through the final walkthrough and warranty.
Workmanship warranty
Completed projects include a one-year workmanship warranty for a clear post-project commitment.
