Family homebuilder · Central Coast & Bakersfield

From our family to yours.

For 40 years, homebuilding has been our family’s passion. It’s in our blood — and it shows in the details of every home we build.

We build fewer homes, so each one gets our full attention. From one-of-a-kind homes on the Central Coast to personalized homes in Bakersfield, our family stands behind every one.

Homebuilding is in our blood

S&S began with a father, a son, and a daughter building one house at a time. Forty years later, the same family still leads the company — and still loves the work.

Your home, your way

Customization is how we've always worked — not an afterthought. In our Bakersfield communities, plans, elevations, structural options, and finishes are yours to choose.

Quality over quantity

Fewer homes under construction means our crews know every house. Details get caught during the build, not after closing.

Coastal Division · Central Coast

One-of-a-kind homes on the Central Coast.

S&S began as a custom home builder on the Central Coast, and our Coastal Division carries that craft forward. We choose the land, design a home for that site, and build it with custom-level detail — then offer the finished home for sale.

Each home individually designed for its site and its views
Custom-level finishes, chosen by our own design team
Craftsmanship and service that continue after move-in
