GC Framing was founded in San Diego in 2017 by Gilberto C., a licensed California contractor (Lic. #1033958 – B, C-5, C-33). Gilberto’s background in construction began in 2007 when he entered the termite control industry and specialized in structural wood repairs. By 2010, he launched his own venture in the industry, gaining extensive hands-on experience with the challenges of restoring and protecting homes.
Building on that foundation, GC Framing grew from a framing and structural restoration company into a full-service general contracting business. Today, we provide home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, framing and rough carpentry, decks and patio covers, interior & exterior painting, ground-mounted solar support installations, and more.
Since 2025, we’ve expanded beyond San Diego County also to serve the Big Bear community, where we adapt our expertise to mountain conditions such as snow loads, freeze/thaw cycles, and cabin-style construction. Whether you need coastal remodeling in San Diego or cabin restoration in Big Bear, our focus remains the same: delivering quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and dependable results that stand the test of time.
Gilberto C. has over 15 years of experience in the industry. Started working for a Termite Control company in 2007, and by 2010 he had started its own venture in the pest control industry with GC Termite Control. In 2017 he got his C-5 license which gave start to GC Framing, which later got a C33 license added. Gilberto is also a Cross Country – Mountain Bike amateur racer, he won the California State Championship in 2014 and The California State Series Championship in 2015 and 2017.
