Located in Santa Clara County, Sigura Construction of Santa Clara CA is dedicated to keeping projects on time and customer costs low using superior organization and planning for everything from landscaping to remodeling, repairs, and new custom building. Owner Ilan Sigura says, "My background in engineering makes me very methodical and I am naturally detail-oriented. Because of this, we deliver high quality of service and take care of everything for the customer."
Ilan learned the trade from his father, also a contractor. Ilan studied mechanical engineering in his home country of Israel, and then moved to the United States in the late 1980s to open a construction company on the East Coast.
A move to Santa Clara County inspired Ilan Sigura to continue building on his dream. "I saw what other companies were doing, and I wanted to form a company that wasn't mediocre," he said. "I wanted to take construction in the greater Bay Area to the next level. That's when I created Sigura Construction. We're dedicated to a high level of service and finishing projects in a better way."
A Team Effort at Sigura Construction in Santa Clara CA
Ilan Sigura and Sigura Construction are serious about good communication and teamwork to keep customers happy. "It is a team effort to stay organized, and that starts with me," Ilan Sigura says. "I listen to the owner and set up a list of expectations, a timeline and goals. My superintendents organize the crew and the materials, and we start work right away."
Constant quality checks assure a smooth project. "We have a supervisor on the job site at all times, and he manages the projects minute-by-minute" says Ilan Sigura. "I am also at the site regularly, so any questions come directly to management. That way, our employees never have to guess—we let them know exactly what the homeowner expects and needs."
Customers report their positive experiences with Ilan Sigura and his staff. During independent research phone calls, customers talked about the crew. Delores, a customer, said they were "Very friendly and knowledgeable." Ari cited, "...their reliability and general professionalism." A customer named Ricardo said, "Ilan listened and did everything within his power and creativity to address what was important to us. I liked his ability to be flexible in order to meet our goals."
Protecting the property is equally important to clients and to Sigura Construction workers. "The first thing we do is mask the house and protect all of our customers' belongings," says Ilan Sigura. "We cover the television and electronics, and we carefully move or cover any furniture. We know our customers' belongings are important, and we want to keep our customers happy."
And at the end of the day, Ilan Sigura says you don't need to worry about tripping over tools or feeling like you're living in a construction zone. "We clean up the entire site after every workday," he says. "We put away all of our tools so there is no danger to your family or home."
Sigura Construction in Santa Clara CA Known For Meeting Timelines
Ever wished you could know the exact timeline for your construction project? With Sigura Construction you are part of the planning process, so you actually have a say in the timeframe. "We hold regular planning meetings in our conference room," says Ilan Sigura. "We display the construction plans on our large plasma TV, so we can all see the plans while we talk and decide the exact scope and timeframe of the project. That way, everyone knows exactly what to expect."
Ilan Sigura believes his clients should be kept in the loop throughout the project. "We set up weekly meetings with our customers, and we make sure they know what will happen and when," he says. "We give them weekly and monthly expectation logs so they know how long the project will take and how it will be done."
Not only do the employees of Sigura Construction meet their timelines, they also go to great lengths to please their customers. "If the customer needs it, we hold meetings at seven in the morning or at eight o'clock at night," says Ilan. "Just recently we had a late night meeting that went until 11:45 because that time worked best for the clients."
During research phone calls, customers talked about Sigura Construction's emphasis on timeliness. A customer named Art said, "They were able to do the work on my schedule." Jim said, "They did the work on time." Steven said, "They came on time and did very conscientious and quality work." And a customer named Agape said, "They finished on time and got everything done."
For customer convenience, Ilan Sigura has designed the Sigura Construction office like a showroom. "Everything in our office is built to show our customers examples of items they can put in their homes," he says. "We put in a higher-end kitchen so they can see the appliances and countertops. Every door is a different style to show a range of possibilities. We want our clients to know their options, and we see our office as an exhibit space."
Sigura Construction has particular expertise in repairing fire and water damage where speed is key. "People are in agony when they lose their homes to fire or flood," says Ilan Sigura. "Our quick service helps them regain their house quickly. We want to help them get their lives back on track as soon as can be."
No Time for Downtime
Ilan Sigura says Sigura Construction's commitment to deadlines means more than just time savings—it also saves his customers money. "We show up on time every day and start the project in a timely manner. We order materials ahead of time, so there is no downtime and we're always making progress," says Ilan Sigura.
When projects are well-organized, the whole timeframe is shorter. This means customers don't end up paying a premium price for workers who are just waiting for the materials to finish the job. "Good organization lets us finish the job in the scheduled timeframe or even ahead of schedule, so the construction costs are lower," says Ilan Sigura. "We pass the savings on to our customers, and we do it without compromising the quality or integrity of the job."
A customer named Erica said during a research phone call, "I liked the constant communication about what was going on. I also liked the quality of the work and the speed at which it was completed."
Sigura Construction takes a proactive approach to saving customers money. Recently, during a kitchen remodel, Ilan Sigura and his crew rebuilt the family's kitchen in a temporary location. "We didn't want them to have to go out to eat during the entire project," says Ilan Sigura. "So we built walls, put in carpeting, moved in the old appliances and made a temporary kitchen space for them in the garage so they could cook and eat in their own home. It may have taken us a little extra time, but it made a big difference for them."
Ilan Sigura lives in Sunnyvale CA. He and his wife Bianca, met in a downtown Starbucks. "It was love at first sight," he says. Bianca Sigura now serves as the chief fianancial officer for Sigura Construction, along with being full-time mom to the couple's two young children, a two-year-old daughter and six-month-old son. "We love having a family," says Ilan Sigura. "We are family-oriented and it's important to us that our employees have good family lives, too. We work hard to help them in any way we can, and we think that has a positive impact on our business and what we offer our customers."
Business for Sigura Construction has tripled every year since their founding, a testament to their hard work, quality construction and company-wide organization. Anne, a customer, said during an independent research phone call, "They showed up when they said they would. The quality of the work was excellent. They were flexible and they were very ethical. I was very pleased."

Sigura Construction, Inc Capability Reviews
"Working with Sigura Construction was a very pleasant experience. Prior to starting the project - we got a lot of good advice and guidance from Sigura. This was free - but invaluable. The construction was high quality! The carpentry including framing, and cabinet installation was amazing - in particular considering the non level walls, floor and ceilings in our home. We were extremely pleased with the result.
The other work including plumbing, plastering, insulation, etc was done at good quality. The project was completed efficiently and on time - actually slightly ahead of schedule. The Sigura construction team was always courteous, friendly and helpful. Even when additional tasks were added to the project - they were executed in a timely manner and at a reasonable price.
As a general contractor, Ilan Sigura stayed on top of the project and helped ensure the quality of the work. Ilan has a very strong background and knowledge in all the disciplines required for our remodel. A big asset for Ilan is his desire to create a happy customer. Many times during the project Ilan put a smile on our face - sometimes by going above and beyond our expectations during the construction - and often simply due to his pleasant nature and ability to tackle the inevitable problems that arise during a remodel.
We are ecstatic about the result of our remodel. It will help define how we live in years to come. We have recommended Sigura construction to our friends and family and will continue to do so. If we can be available as a reference for potential future clients please do not hesitate to contact us.
Once again - Thank you Sigura Construction."
- The Lim Jensen Family (Marissa, Carol and Rune), Cupertino CA
"We used Sigura for our recent kitchen remodel and are very pleased with their work. We found them through a PAMP recommendation. We LOVE our kitchen. Compared to the other bids we received, Sigura's was very competitive. Ilan Sigura, the owner, and his team were professional and hard-working, and the job was completed within budget and on time. What I really liked was that Ilan didn't nickel and dime us during the process. He was also helpful during inspections and was particularly helpful in getting us to pass the final inspection. I have no affliation with Sigura Construction - just a happy customer."
- Carol Lim Jensen, Cupertino CA
"Sigura Construction was a pleasure to work with through the whole process of our bathroom remodel. We were impressed that we could always get in contact with their company, not always the case with our past experiences with other contractors. Ilan Sigura is honest and even pointed out a mistake that we would have missed and quickly had it re-done. He always asked our opinions before finishing a task to ensure we would be satisfied with the results. Each remodel I have done in the past has had its problems, but Sigura Construction is the first company that I would call back again due to thoroughness, quality work and courteousness. His staff are the hardest workers we have ever experienced in a remodeling project. Ilan cares about his work and wants to ensure that his customers are happy. We wish we had found his company a lot sooner and would have saved tons of headaches!"
-Lisa and Scott Smith, Willow Glen CA
"We recently purchased our first home, a two bed two bath apartment in San Francisco's Russian Hill. We interviewed four contractors for the project and decided on Ilan Sigura and Sigura Construction based on his professionalism and attention to detail. Two months later when the project completed on time and on budget, we knew we had made the right choice. I enjoyed working with Ilan, he and his team were customer service oriented, provided quality work with a high level of attention to detail, in a timely manner. Ilan was very responsive and communicated project updates and issues effectively. I thought that remodels and contractors were supposed to be a nightmare, my experience with Ilan and Sigura Construction was only positive. We will definitely work with Ilan on our next project (hopefully soon!)."
-Steve, Christina & Finley, San Francisco CA
"We were extremely pleased with not only the quality of the work done, but how the job was left each day. With our young children, this job could have become a great liability. The crew at Sigura Construction were prompt, courteous, extremely capable and concerned with all aspects of the job. Sigura Construction remodeled our entire home, from kitchen to bathrooms, from flooring to staircase, including our front and backyards. We enjoyed working with Ilan, as he was very responsive and communicated project updates and issues effectively. We had an issue with the A/C unit that was installed, and Ilan took all measures necessary to effectively resolve the issue. Ilan cares about his work and wants to ensure that his customers are happy."
-Osnat & Doron Gal, Sunnyvale CA
"It was a pleasure to work with Ilan and his team. Ilan was very helpful and patient which was important to me especially since this was my first major remodel. Not only did he offer great suggestions about where to purchase various items but he also brought fine design sense in suggesting light fixtures, counter tops, and tiles.
I was very happy with the quality of the work. My new tile floors look gorgeous and I love the CaesarStone countertops. Ilan carefully scheduled the job so as to minimize the amount of time the bathrooms and / or showers would be off-limits. If it happened that there was some item that was not completed as I expected, Ilan was always ready to make it exactly to my wishes.
I was particularly impressed with the manner in which Ilan interacted with his team. He has taken the time to learn Spanish so that he can converse with those on his team whose first language is Spanish. Ilan treats his team members with respect and he earns their respect. I have not always seen this manner in supervisors and it is something very important to me, so I feel compelled to mention it here.
I fully trusted Ilan and his team in my house. They were always careful to lock the door after they were finished. In addition to picking up after themselves, they vacuumed the rooms they had been working in and even the stairs.
I would highly recommend Sigura Construction for all your home improvement needs!"
-Jane Stepak, Mountain View CA
"After several remodels and a couple of emergency jobs due to floods in our house, for the first time, I can recommend a contractor with no reservations whatsoever. Our house recently got flooded due to a burst pipe and suffered extensive damage. We have been slogging through an agonizingly slow remodel and simply could not bear to have this job take a long time.
On the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Sigura Construction (408) 888-7478. I explained that my top priority would be speed of execution. Despite the implied invitation to bid high, their bid came in at the lowest point and with a commitment to start the very next day, which was Monday of last week. For the following 8 working days workers showed up here at 8am every day and never left before 6.
In this time, we have completely rebuilt our playroom, and one bedroom and made very significant repairs to a second bedroom, our kids' bathroom and the bedroom hallway. The same workers handled sheetrock, painting, some electric and some flooring and the quality of all the work is uniformly excellent. The owner stopped by every day to check on progress.
As I mentioned earlier, while this was happening, I was also working on a remodel that was started back in January and is still lingering. On several occasions, I asked the Sigura workers for help on bits and pieces of this other project. They were always willing to help, gave these requests the same level of attention and quality and... I was not charged for any of it. Cumulatively, these requests must have added close to a day to the project but there was never any complaint or request for compensation".
-Ogen Perry, Los Altos Hills CA
"We chose to work with Sigura Construction last summer, and both the process and the results were very satisfactory.
Our project included a complete remodeling of 3 bathrooms, some demolition and niche construction, and other smaller touch ups.
Ilan's crew was professional and reliable, and the results were beautiful.
As can be expected in every construction project, mistakes/delays, if any, were corrected/addressed in a timely manner. I value Ilan's honesty, responsiveness (early mornings and late night times included) and reliability."
- Natalie Landesman, Cupertino CA
"Dear Ilan,
I would like to express our appreciation for you and your team's hard work and dedication to our recent project. It seems unbelievable that we contracted with you for the clean room project just over a week ago and the project is completed! Not to mention that is was completed during the Thanksgiving break!
You completed the project ahead of schedule; you exceeded our expectations and did a tremendous job of remaining flexible. The project changed in scope in a number of directions and you did not nickel and dime us with change orders; you and your team remained focused on the objective of finishing the project.
We look forward to working with you again in the near future.
Thank you."
- Joseph F. O'Neil, President, Hunter Technology Corporation, Santa Clara CA
"Hunter Technology is a premier provider of PCB (printed circuit board) design services, PCB fabrication and electronic manufacturing solutions.
As a result of newly purchased equipment we contracted Sigura Construction to build a clean room environment for our LDI Orbotech's Laser Direct Imaging. This project required multiple tasks beyond re-building the room. Some of those tasks included: electrical, AC, vacuum supply, air supply, plumbing, clean room ceiling tiles, and flooring.
Sigura Construction came in and not only completed the work on time, but were very professional and helpful throughout the process. This was particularly valuable because we had given them a difficult timeline, which required working through the Thanksgiving weekend.
They were always flexible and cooperative and made suggestions along the way, which allowed us to meet our critical requirements and reduce costs whenever possible. The Sigura Construction team exceeded our expectations.
Thanks Sigura Construction for meeting this critical timeline and providing us with a high standard of quality and workmanship."
-Suzanne Reed, Hunter Technology Corporation, Santa Clara CA
