The D'Ambra Story...
It all began over 50 years ago....
Mid 1960s
Working as a framer for a boss he didn't like in the early days of much of the Huntington Harbor early build-out, Dennis D'Ambra, like so many entrepreneurs, knew he could run his own construction business much better. So, that's exactly what he did. It was the infancy of the local building boom in the 1960s throughout Huntington Beach with many families needing just that one bit of extra space.
From a 2 Bedroom Apartment...
Dennis and Kathy D'Ambra began from their 2 bedroom apartment in Westminster, eventually moving to Huntington Beach (Seacliff) and converting one of the three garage spaces to the new D'Ambra office.
D'Ambra Construction Brand Quickly Grew...
Many contractors' approach to their work is to get it done, get paid, and then leave. But Dennis and D'Ambra Construction quickly built a solid reputation for not just the quality of their work, but making sure every client knew D'Ambra would always be a phone call away, backing everything up with a solid warranty and quick responses to any issue. It's why over 90% of D'Ambra's work is referral based.
Mid '70s growth...
D'Ambra Construction quickly grew throughout the 70's, requiring a new office on Westminster Blvd converting an old house into what became headquarters for 15 years.
Family Businesses...
In the early 80's, Kathy D'Ambra opened her own Tax business primarily focused on helping contractors who were (and many still are) incapable of navigating their tax issues, requiring a larger space. So, they bought the building down the street, which became the combined D'Ambra Construction and CATS Tax Service headquarters for nearly 20 years before moving back to Huntington Beach in 2004.
