About the Owner/Principal Contractor: 

Born into the industry, Vince Benedet has spent the last 20 years working in commercial and residential construction in Northern California. His family has a long legacy in the construction trades and he grew up watching multiple generations hone their crafts with precision and a love of detail. At a young age, Vince's uncanny ability to read and implement architectural plans helped him realize his affinity for building. 

Early in Vince's career he attended the Carpenters Apprentice School in Pleasanton, California while concurrently working as a carpenter for one of the largest commercial concrete contractors on the West Coast building high-rises, parking garages, hotels, government buildings and more. Vince sought limited-term custom residential construction opportunities between his commercial concrete carpentry position to further his skill set.  Through this experience, his passion for building the creative vision of homeowners and overseeing diverse construction projects was illuminated. Vince went on to obtain his California General B Contractor License so he could continue to work in this capacity. 

Vince has extensive experience in carpentry, concrete and custom home builds. He has a diverse commercial and residential portfolio that includes unique projects like custom backyards and pool decks with one-of-a-kind sentimental features built into the design, builds incorporating reclaimed elements of old structures, pipeline and water treatment installations, and his favorite to date, designing and building the largest single-structure trout fisheries restoration net pen in the United States. This project met California Environmental Quality Act standards and 70%+ of the structure is made from reclaimed materials saved from a landfill. It has grown and released thousands of trout into the waters at Lake Siskiyou in Mount Shasta, California.

Vince is well-versed, understands the nuances of different commercial and residential projects, and has a network of tradespeople and artists to collaborate with. He prides himself on his efficiency, integrity and dedication to ethical building practices. He combines these skills into the services North Slope Construction offers.
