Choosing the right general contractor in South Jordan requires finding a builder who understands this unique community. With a population exceeding 86,000 residents and a median household income of $126,400, South Jordan has grown into one of Utah's most desirable cities for families seeking quality housing, excellent schools, and a strong sense of community. Cherrywood Construction has been serving South Jordan homeowners since 1976, building a reputation as the go-to general contractor for residents throughout this thriving Salt Lake County city.
South Jordan occupies a prime location in the southwest Salt Lake Valley, approximately 17 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City and bordered by the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. The city experiences Utah's characteristic four-season climate with hot, dry summers averaging 85°F, cold winters averaging 32°F with moderate snowfall, and a wildfire season running from July through November. These climate conditions directly impact construction decisions—from proper insulation and HVAC sizing to fire-resistant materials for homes near the western foothills. Our team builds with these local factors in mind, ensuring your South Jordan home performs efficiently year-round.
As a licensed general contractor serving South Jordan, we handle residential construction projects across the full spectrum—from kitchen and bathroom remodels in established Bingham Creek homes to ground-up custom construction in new developments throughout the city. Our commercial construction division serves South Jordan businesses at The District retail center and throughout the city's growing commercial corridors, providing tenant improvements, retail buildouts, and professional office renovations. We understand South Jordan's building permit process, HOA requirements in master-planned communities, and the specific architectural standards that maintain property values in premium neighborhoods.
What sets Cherrywood Construction apart from other general contractors in South Jordan is our proximity and genuine investment in this community. Our office at 8297 S Romaine Dr in Sandy sits just 7 miles from central South Jordan—typically a 12-minute drive via Bangerter Highway. This proximity means faster response times, more efficient project oversight, and a team that genuinely knows the area. We understand the distinct character of each South Jordan neighborhood, from the new urbanism design principles of Daybreak with its diverse housing styles around Oquirrh Lake, to the established ranch homes and larger lots in Glenmoor Country Estates near the golf course.
