THEIR STORY

Ahora Construction’s story stems from humble beginnings. We began out of the Matta home office where Jimmy’s mom brought in morning coffee to the administrative staff and his aunt shared afternoon plates of mango and tajin. At the beginning we took a few residential and contract jobs before we found our niche as a commercial contractor specializing in selective demolition, framing, drywall and finishes, and painting. We worked double shifts and built up the right team to grow revenues from $87,000 during our second full year in business to $3 million during our third full year of operation.
