Villa Family Construction is led by founder Declan Villa, a third-generation Sonoma & Marin County native whose life has been defined by a deep connection to the land and a tireless work ethic. This isn't just a career in construction. It's a story of family heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence.
It started on a property in Petaluma, where working with his hands became a way of life. As a boy he was already on job sites, tying rebar on home foundations and learning the value of building something meant to last.
That foundation carried through high school, where his passion for architecture earned multiple local design awards. He went on to Colorado State University, focusing on Business Finance and Management with a minor in Construction Management.
Back in Petaluma, he rejoined the family trade and was promoted to Foreman young, leading a crew of men significantly older than him. It was a crash course in leadership: proving that respect is earned through competence and shared hard work. Later, a move to Montana opened the next chapter. By his mid-twenties, he was overseeing a portfolio that included $3M custom luxury homes, $12M airport hangars, and a $25M corporate headquarters.
In 2023, Declan returned home to Petaluma and officially launched Villa Family Construction. What started as a one-man show has become a thriving company of seven dedicated employees, a team he credits for the company's swift success. Whether he's managing a job site or at home with his family, he remains committed to the craftsmanship and integrity that have defined the Villa name for three generations.

A third-generation Sonoma County general contractor, Declan continues the legacy established by his father and grandfather. Born and raised in Petaluma, he has been immersed in construction since childhood. After studying Business Management with a minor in Construction Management in Colorado, he spent six years in Bozeman, Montana as one of the area's top project managers, overseeing everything from custom homes to large-scale airplane hangars before returning home to launch Villa Family Construction.
Raised in Sonoma County, Jacqui studied language and Business Management in San Diego before returning to Petaluma and later relocating to Bozeman, Montana, where she ran her own successful cleaning business. Drawing on her organizational skills and business experience, she keeps operations running smoothly and ensures every client enjoys clear, responsive communication from first call to final walkthrough.
Born and raised in Petaluma, where his family has called Sonoma County home since 1930, Vince has been drawn to understanding how things come together his whole life. He has been crafting large, custom homes since 2018 and joined Villa Family Construction at its inception in 2023, where he found not just a career but a team dedicated to craftsmanship and community.
Dae brings 14 years of well-rounded experience in both finish and rough carpentry, along with a strong background in electrical work. Since moving to Santa Rosa in 2020, he has enjoyed contributing his skills to projects throughout Sonoma County, bringing precision and care to every job site.
Alex brings over eight years of carpentry experience and a genuine passion for his craft. Dedicated and hands-on, he takes pride not only in his work but also in sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with the rest of the team, finding fulfillment in building both quality projects and strong connections on the job.
Born and raised in Petaluma, Holden earned a degree in Environmental Studies from St. Mary's College before pursuing a professional rugby career that took him around the world.

This estimator uses current Sonoma County pricing to give you a ballpark range for common residential projects. Every home is different, and final pricing depends on scope, conditions, and finish selections. Use this as a planning starting point, not a bid.
Villa Family Construction did an amazing job on my home repair. They replaced 70% of our siding, all the trim, completed several minor repairs, and power washed and painted all of it. They were timely, respectful, and excellent communicators. When we asked for little details, they followed through and didn't forget. They also handled all the city permitting for us, a huge endeavor. The whole job only took just over two weeks, and they came in on the low end of the estimate. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy crew, this is it.
A million thank you's to the Villa Family team. Job well done! My bathroom and loft look wonderful. I was very nervous about this project. I had a previous issue with someone else who ghosted me and left my vanity in the dining room. Villa Family called me, booked an appointment, and the rest was magic. Attention to detail, quality, and accountability describe this company. I'll be seeing you in the spring!
Amazing team. They went beyond our expectations on a full remodel of 3 bathrooms. I'm so happy every time I use the bathrooms. Would recommend them for any work needed. Great guys to go with. Thank you!
