About Colfax, CA – The Hidden Gem of Placer County

Nestled along the I-80 corridor at an elevation of 2,425 feet, Colfax (population ~2,000 as of 2025) is a historic railroad town with stunning views of the American River Canyon and the Sierra Nevada foothills. With its mix of historic Victorian homes, modern foothill estates, and growing commercial districts, Colfax residents know the challenges of building on sloped lots. Heavy winter rains and granite-rich soil make properly engineered retaining walls essential for preventing erosion, creating usable yard space, and adding curb appeal.

Whether you’re on the steep lots near Cape Horn, building a new home off Canyon Way, or upgrading commercial property along Highway 174, Modern Era Construction understands Colfax terrain better than anyone.
