Newark

General Contractor & HVAC Newark CA

Newark’s geography presents challenges that inland contractors often overlook. From the rising water tables in the Newark Area 4 baylands to the intense salt-air oxidation near Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge, building in the 94560 zip code requires specialized material selection. At B.A. Morrison, we combine three decades of local experience with master-level mechanical expertise to ensure your remodeling or construction project survives the East Bay’s coastal environment.

2026 Newark Permit Speed & Compliance (AB 253)

Navigating the Newark Building Inspection Division changed significantly on January 1, 2026. New California laws (AB 253) now allow for private professional plan checkers if the city exceeds a 30-day window. As your General Contractor Newark CA, we manage this expedited process for you:

Accelerated Residential Permits: We leverage the new 2026 “10-day inspection” mandate for residential additions, ensuring your construction doesn’t sit idle.
Electronic Plan Check: We handle the City of Newark’s mandatory digital submittal process, ensuring all structural and Title 24 energy calculations are filed correctly the first time.

Combatting Salt-Air Corrosion & High Water Tables

Building near Jarvis Landing or the Cargill salt ponds means dealing with aggressive oxidation and shifting soil. We implement “Marine-Grade” construction standards:

Anti-Corrosive HVAC Coils: Standard units fail fast here. We specify HVAC products with phenolic or epoxy coatings to resist salt-spray damage.
Moisture-Resistant Remodeling: Newark’s “shoaling” (rising groundwater) can lead to unexpected foundation moisture. During any kitchen or bathroom remodeling, we install advanced vapor barriers and moisture-resistant subflooring to prevent long-term rot.

Neighborhood-Specific Development

Whether you are in a classic residence in Old Town Newark or a modern build in Glass Bay, we tailor our services to the neighborhood:

Transit-Oriented Additions: We help homeowners near the Newark transit corridors take advantage of new 2026 density laws for ADUs and multi-family expansions.
Full-Spectrum Mechanicals: As a dual-licensed firm, we don’t just build the walls; we engineer the airflow. Your heating and air conditioning install is perfectly balanced for Newark’s temperate, humid air.

The B.A. Morrison Local Advantage

We have been the premier General Contractor Newark CA since 1990 because we build for Newark’s reality:

Dual-License Authority: We hold both B (General) and C-20 (HVAC) licenses, providing a unified project flow that out-of-town firms cannot match.
Environmental Knowledge: We know which materials thrive in Newark’s salt-heavy microclimate and which ones fail.
Local Accountability: Our nearby headquarters means we are available for immediate servicing & repairs long after the construction is complete.
