Brad Blakemore is a 3rd generation from the Blakemore family from
Sacramento, CA. His grandfather was in the insurance business with
State Farm; his father was in lumber business and owned his lumber
business, Agate Sales, in Sacramento.
Brad always has a passion
for the building business and at the young age of 19 started from the
ground up as a laborer on an 88-unit apartment complex. After 4 years
of hands-on experience doing all types of construction work, he earned
his general contractors license.
He formed Blakemore
Construction Co. in 1983. For the first 5 years he specialized in
foundations and framing on custom homes for other general contractors.
Then, in December of 1987 he was approached by a realtor to build his
first speculation custom home. He built the custom home in Elk Grove,
CA for $42 per square foot. The home was sold prior to completion as
the quality of the workmanship spoke for itself.
Now, over 20
years later, Blakemore Construction still specializes in new custom
homes, remodels and additions, and has also remodeled/expanded
commercial properties for clients he has formed relationships with
after remodeling/building residential projects.
