Gannage Design & Construction, a general contractor in Paso Robles, California, and the surrounding Central Coast, has been named the No. 1 firm on Urban Splatter’s Top 10 Residential Design, Construction Companies, and General Contractors in Paso Robles list for 2026, earning the editorial designation Editor’s Choice: Best General Contractor in Paso Robles. The firm has worked on the Central Coast since 2000 and is led by founder Mikhail Gannage, whose career in residential construction spans more than 30 years. As a design-build firm, Gannage keeps design, permitting, and construction under one point of contact, and takes on a limited number of projects at a time to provide the highest level of service. Most of that work is whole-home remodeling, along with additions, accessory dwelling units, and custom homes.
“We start with the living experience a client wants, and then we work out how to get there,” said Mikhail Gannage, founder of Gannage Design & Construction. “Often there is a story in the house. It was a parent’s home, or the home a husband grew up in. Preserving what matters while reimagining the rest is careful work, and most of it gets decided in pre-construction, before anyone picks up a hammer.”
Gannage Design & Construction earned the top position on Urban Splatter’s Top 10 Residential Design & Construction Companies in Paso Robles (2026) after the publication evaluated firms across publicly available indicators including project portfolios, years in operation, and local market presence. On a conventional project, a homeowner hires the designer and the builder separately, and questions about cost and constructibility that could have been settled on paper tend to surface later as change orders in the field. Gannage works instead through a design-build process that keeps the builder at the table while the plans are still being drawn, with design, permitting, and construction management under one agreement. In a whole-home remodel, that usually means taking a house apart and rethinking it around how a family actually wants to live in it. Mikhail and his Team document completed projects in their custom home and remodeling portfolio. The firm takes on only a handful of projects each year. That limit is deliberate, and it is what allows the same people who designed a project to stay with it through construction.
Gannage’s emphasis on documented process comes from an earlier career designing industrial robotics in Sacramento, before he returned to the Central Coast and reestablished the firm in 2000. “In that world, if you are not following a written process, you crash,” he said. “Construction is plenty complicated too. We just do not always treat it that way.” For homeowners, the practical effect shows up in pre-construction, where selections, engineering, and permitting are worked out before crews arrive.
Design-build delivery keeps the builder involved from planning through construction, on site as the work is framed.
