Pace Builders has been in the contracting business since 1978 and we are known for our attention to detail. We are cost effective and reasonably priced. At the outset of each job we provide a range of what we think it will cost: all work is invoiced on a time and materials basis. We can do any construction job from the ground up, with a specialty in kitchen and baths. Our services include foundations, framing, electrical, plumbing, windows, floors, gas fireplaces, and high-end finish work including plastering and color coat plaster finishes. We work with our clients to define specifications, then deliver high quality work according to an agreed upon schedule. Each client gets detailed invoices with clear copies of all receipts, and an accurate breakdown of all materials used, plus a clearly defined work log for each part of the project. It is our thoroughness that we are known for, and we take pride in being as attentive to our customers as possible.

We like to do work that is environmentally conscious so we use materials such as Hardi Board Cement Products, Azek Trim, and Marvin Windows from their Sustainable Building Products. More information available upon request.


About the Owner:

Peter Bazner moved to the Bay Area in 1971 to start his own business, Pace Painting. From 1971-1974, Peter was on the job, painting houses and going door-to-door to generate a clientele. The company became quite successful for a small personal business and Peter was quickly offered a job as an Estimator for a contractor. He took the job in 1975 and began working full-time for another contractor in San Francisco. Peter was in charge of dealing directly with clients and workers. He helped generate business and expanded the company. Quickly he realized that even though he was given great responsibility, he had no control over key elements such as quality assurance and worker morale.

In 1978 Peter decided that he had grown beyond his limited influence and decided to run his own business the way he thought it should be run. Pace Painting was born once Peter got his official license as a painting contractor. The company started with the core service of painting but quickly expanded in 1999 when he got his general contracting license and the company was renamed Pace Builders.

Today Pace Builders is what Peter always thought a contractor should be: a service provider that listens to clients and delivers the client’s vision. By only taking one job at a time, Peter’s company offers the quality assurance that comes with sole attention to detail on one project that many other companies cannot offer because they are constantly juggling multiple jobs. The staff is carefully selected by Peter, who develops a close relationship with them in order to provide them with the guidance needed to ensure that they will do the job correctly the first time.
