Twenty years ago, Brad DesJardin and Neal Cordeiro founded DesCor Builders with a simple yet ambitious goal: to create a construction company that prioritized collaboration, innovation and exceptional service. What started as a vision has since grown into one of Northern California’s premier commercial general contracting firms, delivering high-quality projects and fostering lasting client relationships.
From its early days focusing on tenant improvements to now leading large-scale developments, DesCor has steadily expanded its impact across the region. The company’s hands-on approach and problem-solving mindset have driven its success, earning the trust of clients and industry partners alike. Today, more than 80% of DesCor’s work comes from repeat business — a testament to the strong relationships built over the years.
“With a strong foundation and a commitment to continuous improvement, DesCor is ready to build the next chapter.” — Joe Giger, Vice President/Chief Operating Officer
Beyond its construction achievements, DesCor has cultivated a workplace culture that sets it apart. Recognized as a “Best Place to Work” 18 times by the Sacramento and North Bay Business Journals, the company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to creating an environment where employees thrive. Ranking #388 on the ENR Top 400 National Contractors list in 2023 further reinforced DesCor’s standing among the country’s top builders, with a total project volume exceeding $1.6 billion over the last 20 years of business.
As DesCor looks ahead, leadership has transitioned to a new generation. Tyler Ganyo, Brandon Schroer and Joe Giger — each with over 20 years of industry experience — are now guiding the company into the future. Their deep-rooted connection to DesCor ensures that the company’s core values remain unchanged: delivering high-quality projects, strengthening industry partnerships and fostering a workplace that empowers its employees.
“DesCor’s success is a reflection of the dedication and expertise of our talented team,” says Joe Giger, vice president and chief operating officer. “As the company marks 20 years in business, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the employees, clients and partners who have played a role in this journey. With a strong foundation and a commitment to continuous improvement, DesCor is ready to build the next chapter.”
