About Baggett Construction
In the 1800's the door to Max Baggett's office was an important portal. Families on their way to the Monterey Peninsula, Big Sur, San Juan Bautista and points North or South stopped there for numerous blacksmith services and repairs to their wagons and household goods. The building, and door, is new today but the character of the place remains. Loyalty, hard work, value and versatility are still at home here.
At 6 foot 4 inches tall Max has the hands, arms and body of a blacksmith and a portfolio that reflects his accomplishments as a General Contractor. He 'thinks' with his hands to make construction projects in the field 'come together the way the way they're supposed to.' Max explains, "When you get a set of plans, you have to create a process to build them. Plans show me the result, the objective. I like to make the decisions that make those drawings work. That's the icing on my cake."
Interior designer Judy Baggett is Max's wife and a big reason for the launch of Baggett Construction Services (BCS). With the birth of their 2nd son, the couple's maternity insurance carrier went broke. Max paid the bills working nights and weekends for carpenters in need of his general skills. Now 31 years married, Judy and Max enjoy 4 sons and share a 3000 square foot office.
Today, BCS features a full shop, heavy equipment, tools and ten experienced team members. Foundation to finish, they may complete a thousand or two square foot residential addition one week and start a new ten thousand square foot commercial building the next. Max is no stranger to delicate finish work. Dentists and doctors, famously fussy about fit, finish and function, appreciate his attention to detail. Happy clients are at work in tasteful dental offices and clinics Max built or remodeled.
Without a sense of his personality, no description of Max Baggett is complete. Plainly put, Max is "good people" and fun to be around. His love of life, family and work affords plenty of opportunities for laughter, play and appreciation. Antique tools and handcraft displayed in his office pay quiet tribute to the craftsmen of yesteryear.
