BEHIND THE BUILD: PAYTON CONSTRUCTION

Get To Know The Contractor Turning Houses Into Dream Homes

For Steve Payton, owner of Payton Construction, building and remodeling homes isn’t just about construction—it’s about creating spaces that truly work for the people who live in them.

Steve grew up around the industry, with his father owning a construction company in Northern California. Though he initially pursued college, he realized his strengths lay elsewhere and made the move to the Central Valley in 2002. After years of working in construction, he took the leap in 2018 to start his own company, focusing on quality craftsmanship and a smooth, efficient process for homeowners.

Payton Construction specializes in kitchen and bathroom remodels, full interior renovations, and select commercial projects. While they can take on a variety of builds, their expertise lies in transforming existing spaces to better fit the needs of their clients. Steve’s approach is centered around clear communication, detailed planning, and a reliable team of employees and subcontractors who keep projects moving seamlessly.

“Communication is key,” Steve says. “I constantly update my clients so they know what’s happening, who will be at their home, and what to expect next.” One of the ways Payton Construction keeps projects on track is by pre-ordering all finish materials before the work begins, which helps prevent delays and ensures a smoother experience for homeowners.

While every project has its challenges, Steve finds the most rewarding part of his job is the final walkthrough—seeing the transformation come to life and watching a client’s reaction to their newly renovated space.

With a focus on craftsmanship, organization, and customer experience, Payton Construction continues to build a reputation for quality work that stands the test of time.
