We’re Your Trusted Partner for Commercial Construction
At Rockaway Construction, we specialize in tenant improvements for corporate offices, medical facilities, life sciences, education, retail, and government buildings across the San Francisco Bay Area. Whether we're leading as your general contractor or integrating as your specialized subcontractor, we deliver the craftsmanship and reliability that keeps your projects on track.
We understand the unique challenges of commercial construction—tight deadlines, occupied spaces, complex coordination, and the need for precision. That's why we've built our reputation on being the specialists others call when quality and reliability matter most.
Our Story: From Rock Band to Rockaway Beach
Founded in 2000 by John Fitzpatrick and Frank Dolan, our name has an interesting origin story. It came from co-founder John's rock-n-roll band, "The Rockaways." But when we moved our office to Rockaway Beach in Pacifica, it became a happy coincidence that perfectly captured our Bay Area roots.
We've evolved from a general contracting service into specialists who focus on what we do best: tenant improvements and complex commercial renovations. We've learned that by concentrating on our core strengths, we can deliver exceptional results that larger, less-specialized contractors simply can't match.
Today, we're proud to be the contractor that other contractors call when they need precision work done right the first time.
