About Us
Since its founding in 1987, Alisal Builders Corporation has established itself as a leader in high-end custom construction through unique emphasis on meticulous detail and exceptional craftsmanship.
Born and raised in Argentina, President and Founder Martin A. Leon grew up immersed in both the chic metropolitan architecture of Buenos Aires and the rustic craftsmanship of country estancias. To this day, Martin's goal is to ensure that each project achieves the timeless artisanal quality and character he recalls from his youth.
Leaving Argentina to create a home in California, Olga has always had an adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit. While she and Martin created a new business she was also simultaneously raising seven children, the execution of which required a unique level of energy and organization. Olga was more than equal to the task and today she continues to bring this vitality and systems management to Alisal builders, overseeing the administrative system that allows the artistic vision to be realized.
Nicolas and Jacko Aulet-Leon represent the next generation at Alisal Builders. Before joining the Alisal team, Nicolas earned graduate and post-graduate degrees in Humanities and Economics. Jacko spent time abroad employed by one of the largest construction firms in the world, working on various international projects with budgets upwards of $100M each. Both bring their studies and experience to Alisal Builders, aiming to effectively bridge Old-World craftsmanship and style with New-World efficiency and organization.
Through its unwavering focus on detail and craftsmanship, Alisal Builders has successfully managed to stay away from the modern rationale of mass production, which is steadily replacing quality and design in the building industry. Each and every one of our creations is a one-of-a-kind home, calling to mind the days of manor houses with their distinctive touch of personality.
