Selecting the right general contractor in West Jordan requires understanding what makes Utah's third-largest city unique. With a population exceeding 116,000 residents and neighborhoods ranging from established communities near Gardner Village to newer developments along the Oquirrh Mountain foothills, West Jordan presents diverse construction opportunities that demand local expertise. Cherrywood Construction has been serving West Jordan homeowners and businesses since 1976, earning a reputation as the contractor families trust throughout Salt Lake County.
West Jordan occupies the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley at an elevation of 4,330 feet, stretching from the Jordan River on the east to the slopes of the Oquirrh Mountains on the west. This geography creates specific construction considerations that contractors unfamiliar with the area often miss. The city experiences cold winters with significant snowfall, hot dry summers reaching into the mid-90s, and sits in Seismic Design Category D—requiring specialized knowledge of Utah building codes and foundation engineering. Our team has built hundreds of projects throughout West Jordan and understands these factors intimately, from proper snow load calculations to seismic bracing requirements.
As a licensed general contractor serving West Jordan, we handle residential construction projects ranging from kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1980s split-levels to ground-up custom homes in Copper Hills with stunning Oquirrh Mountain views. We've seen the transformation of West Jordan from a small agricultural community to a thriving suburban city, and we understand the mix of housing stock—from original farmhouses and mid-century ramblers to modern two-story homes in planned communities. Our commercial construction division serves West Jordan businesses at Jordan Landing, along Redwood Road, and throughout the city's growing commercial corridors.
What distinguishes Cherrywood Construction from other general contractors in West Jordan is our genuine connection to this community. Our office at 8297 S Romaine Dr in Sandy is just 7 miles east of West Jordan—a 10 to 14 minute drive depending on traffic. Several of our crew members live in West Jordan neighborhoods, and we've completed projects in virtually every area of the city. We understand which neighborhoods have clay-heavy soils that require special foundation considerations, where the older homes with original plumbing and electrical need careful renovation approaches, and how West Jordan's family-oriented character shapes what homeowners want from their construction projects.
