Greenwald Construction

What Greenwald Construction does

Greenwald Construction, legally Greenwald and Associates, Inc., is a private residential construction and design firm founded in Sacramento, CA in 1990 and relocated to Long Beach, CA in 2003. It operates as a design-build shop serving homeowners across roughly 30 cities in the Long Beach, South Bay, and Orange County corridor of Southern California, with services spanning whole-house remodels, room additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, ADUs, garage/studio construction, and exterior/interior renovations. Owner Mark Greenwald, a PMP-certified project manager with 35+ years in the industry, personally manages client relationships and project delivery, and the firm under DBA "GCC" coordinates with structural engineers and Title 24 consultants on permit-ready design packages. The company won 5 NARI Remodeler of the Year awards during its Sacramento era and built a referral-driven portfolio of repeat residential clients.

The firm generates revenue through one-time, project-based fees for residential construction and design work, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no subscription or recurring component. Customer acquisition is sales-led, relying on direct consultation, a website with project galleries and testimonials, and word-of-mouth referrals in its service area. All operations are run through a small team of 1-10 employees centered on the founder-owner.

As of 2026 the company has effectively exited public-facing construction work. Its California CSLB license (#597160) is listed as Inactive, and the website explicitly states Greenwald Construction is "no longer building for the public," redirecting visitors to GCCDesigns4U.com for architectural services including planning, drawings, and permit processing. The business is now a small design-only operation supplemented by serving other construction firms as a B2B drafting sub-contractor.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• BuildZoom: Online marketplace and project-intake platform for licensed general contractors, including remodels and additions. Comparable as a channel/discovery layer for the same residential GC customers Greenwald historically served, and a potential competitive threat to small regional remodelers.
• Sweeten: Marketplace matching homeowners with vetted residential general contractors and design-build firms in major metros, including LA. Comparable because it competes for the same residential remodel customer and GTM channel that Greenwald relied on, but at platform scale.

Direct peers

• Pacific Heritage Builders: San Diego / Southern California residential design-build firm specializing in remodels, additions, and historic-home restoration. Direct peer given its shared emphasis on matching old work to new, design-build integration, and homeowner customer segment similar to Greenwald's.
• CRBR Construction & Remodeling: California residential general contractor offering remodels, room additions, kitchen and bath renovations for homeowners. Comparable in service mix, residential GC model, and direct-to-homeowner GTM motion in the same regional market.
• Marrokal Design & Remodeling: Southern California design-build residential remodeler offering whole-home remodels, additions, kitchen/bath, and ADU-style projects. Closely comparable to Greenwald's historical offering in scope (remodels + additions), design-build integration, and SoCal homeowner customer base.
• Grip Construction: Southern California construction firm referenced as a customer of GCCDesigns4U's design/permit services. Operates in the same regional residential construction market and illustrates the design-for-hire B2B model that GCCDesigns4U is now pursuing.
• Allen Construction: Santa Barbara–based design-build residential remodeler handling additions, whole-home remodels, and historic restoration. Comparable in design-build approach, craftsmanship focus, and high-end homeowner customer segment.
• Baltes Construction: Long Beach–area residential design-build contractor specializing in remodels, additions, and ADUs. Highly comparable local peer given overlapping Long Beach/SoBay service area, ADU focus, and design-build residential model.

Broad incumbents

• Houzz Pro: Large home remodeling platform combining a homeowner marketplace with project management software for GCs and design-build firms. Adjacent incumbent competing for the same homeowner demand and increasingly supplying design/drawing tools to small firms like GCCDesigns4U.
• Re-Bath: National bathroom remodeling franchise with broad geographic coverage and established brand. Overlaps with Greenwald's bath remodel line as a scaled incumbent in a segment Greenwald served, though Re-Bath operates a different one-day/fractional remodel model.
