Tankersley Construction

What Tankersley Construction does

Tankersley Build Co. (legal entity Tankersley Construction, Inc.) is a family-owned, licensed, bonded, and insured general contracting firm headquartered at 11415 Sunrise Gold Circle, Rancho Cordova, California. Founded in 2016 by Steve and Heather Tankersley after the founders met on a construction project in 2009, the firm operates an integrated design-build model serving the Greater Sacramento region — including Granite Bay, El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Fair Oaks, Loomis, Carmichael, Shingle Springs, East Sacramento, and adjacent submarkets. Service lines are organized into three core offerings: custom home construction (projects typically starting around $1 million and running 48+ weeks), whole-home renovations and additions ($250,000 to $1M+, typically 22-28 weeks), and select commercial tenant improvements and adaptive reuse (e.g., Moonshine & Co. and the Rancho Cordova Community Food Hub). Customer segments are luxury homeowners and a small number of commercial clients in specific Sacramento-area submarkets.

The firm's underlying operating model combines commercial-grade project management discipline with residential craftsmanship. It uses the Buildertrend SaaS platform across all projects for daily logs, schedule updates, financial tracking, and change orders, and the founders have formal Buildertrend Ambassador status. The team is intentionally lean — approximately seven to eight employees including founders, an Office Manager, Project Managers, a Field Manager with high-end finish carpentry expertise, a Carpenter, a Controller, and a Project Developer with 20+ years of remodeling industry experience — supplemented by a vetted subcontractor trade partner network. The firm has earned features in Pro Remodeler, Qualified Remodeling Magazine, Remodeling Magazine, Business of Home, Sacramento Magazine, and Sacramento Business Journal, and holds California General Contractor License #1022150 with NARI membership.

Revenue mechanics are entirely project-based and quote-driven with no publicly disclosed pricing, no recurring contracts, and no free estimates. Customer acquisition combines a structured 30-minute discovery call sales motion with content marketing (educational blog, location-specific SEO landing pages, email newsletter, and a free Dream Home Process guide) and community-building through The Build Line Podcast (co-hosted by Heather Tankersley and Jerry Brewer). The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
