Homeowners, property managers, and local businesses who keep calling us back.

Matt has been my general contractor for approximately 5 years or more. Prompt, efficient, professional, and reliable. I can't say enough about his work. La Quinta uses them for everything and values their advice. I've practically stopped using all other vendors and use them exclusively, and will continue to.
MTMyra ThomasGeneral Manager, La Quinta Inns & Suites
When I spoke to Mr. Dahm on the phone he seemed very professional. He showed up on time and provided a bid within a very reasonable time. One of the most reliable construction companies in Bakersfield.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Straight answers on cost, timing, and what to expect.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Bakersfield?
Cost depends on square footage, surface condition, interior vs. exterior, and the number of colors. We give a free, written estimate after seeing the space so the price is real — no surprises. Call (661) 565-6358 to set one up.
How long does a painting project take?
A single interior room is often a day; a whole-home interior or full exterior usually runs a few days depending on prep and weather. We give you a clear timeline with your estimate and show up when we say we will.
How long does drywall repair take?
Small patches can be done in a single visit, though texture and paint may need a day to dry between steps. Larger repairs after water damage take longer — we'll give you a clear timeline up front.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes. Texture matching is our specialty — knockdown, orange peel, smooth, or hand textures. The goal is a repair you can't pick out from the original wall.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Kern General Construction is licensed, bonded, and insured under CA Contractor's License #1008509.
