Building Custom Homes on the Mendocino Coast Since 1928
Matson General Contracting has been designing and building custom homes in Fort Bragg and across Mendocino County for four generations. We build from the ground up — working with you on layout, materials, and finishes so the finished home fits your lot, your budget, and the way you actually live, not a one-size-fits-all floor plan.
Because we've been building here for nearly a century, we know how to build well on the Mendocino Coast — and we've walked the permitting process with the City of Fort Bragg and Mendocino County many times before.
Custom home building is one part of what we do — you can also browse everything we build, from additions and remodels to decorative concrete.
Our Custom Home Building Process
From first conversation to final walkthrough.
Design & Planning
We walk your lot and talk through what you want, then help shape a design and budget that's realistic for your site and the coastal building codes here.
Permitting
We prepare and submit permit applications with the City of Fort Bragg and Mendocino County on your behalf, so you're not navigating that process alone.
Foundation & Framing
Foundations and framing done right from the start — the part of the house everything else depends on.
Finish Carpentry
Trim, cabinetry, tile, and millwork finished with the same attention to detail as the structural work — the details that make a home feel custom.
A Recent Custom Build: The Barnes Residence
This Fort Bragg custom home is one example of the kind of ground-up build we take on — built to our client's layout and finish preferences, engineered for the local site conditions, and finished with the same carpentry standard we've held for four generations.
