Escobedo Group
Escobedo Group is renown for its unique process of delivering highest quality old-world craftsmanship. We intentionally merge the artistry and skill of human hands with cutting-edge 3-D technology. This mergence of man-and-machine lends to the high-end, luxury quality that has become our signature specialty. With a full fleet of CNCs ranging from 2-axis to 5-axis within our stone, metal and millwork divisions, we are a vertically-integrated general contracting company that self-performs 95% of our work. We work with owners and architects within the luxury marketplace who value and expect extraordinary craftsmanship, as well as superior project management and impeccable organization. When you think of construction and general contracting, you don't typically think of artisan and precision. This is one of the many things that makes Escobedo Group a welcomed industry anomaly.
