What we build
Four kinds of job, done by our own crew. We turn down work outside them rather than learn on your house.
-
Additions
More room without moving. Rear, side, and second-storey additions tied cleanly into the house you have.
Foundations · Framing · Roofing
-
Kitchens & baths
Walls moved, beams set, and every trade scheduled by one crew lead from demo to the last cabinet pull.
Structural · Plumbing · Electrical
-
Backyard cottages
Detached ADUs from permit drawings to keys, with their own utilities and a price fixed before we dig.
Permits · Utilities · New build
-
Whole-house remodels
Older homes rebuilt from the studs out, with the character kept and the wiring, insulation, and layout brought current.
Seismic · Insulation · Finishes
