At Bentz Construction, we’ve been crafting homes and building trust for over three generations. Based in West Los Angeles, our story began in the 1950s with our grandfather, Dave Bentz, whose skill and vision helped shape many of the neighborhoods in this vibrant city. His commitment to quality craftsmanship set the foundation for a family legacy that continues to thrive today.
In the 1970s, Dave’s son, Craig Bentz, took the reins, bringing a passion for designing beautiful Craftsman-style homes and restoring historic properties to their former glory. Craig’s dedication to quality and his ability to build personal relationships with clients turned Bentz Construction into more than a business—it became a trusted partner for homeowners and businesses across Los Angeles County.
Today, the tradition lives on through Craig and his children—Nick, Chloe, and Lucas Bentz—who share the same love for precision carpentry and thoughtful design. Together, we provide a full range of construction services to residents and businesses in Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, La Cañada Flintridge, the South Bay, and beyond. Whether it’s a new build, a restoration, or a remodel, we bring generations of expertise to every project.
What sets us apart is not just our history but our hands-on approach. Unlike larger firms, we are personally involved in the work of all our projects, ensuring the highest standards of skill, attention to detail, and quality control. This commitment to excellence and trust is why so much of our business comes from word-of-mouth recommendations and deep-rooted relationships.

Whether you’re creating your dream home or revitalizing a beloved property, we’re here to bring your vision to life with care, expertise, and a legacy of craftsmanship.
