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

How a job runs

The same four steps on a bathroom or a whole house. You always know which one you are in.

  1. Step 1 Week 0

    Walk the site

    We come out, measure, and tell you what's realistic. No charge, no pressure.

  2. Step 2 Week 1–2

    Fixed quote

    A line-item price and a start date in writing. Changes are priced before they're built.

  3. Step 3 On site

    Build

    One crew lead, a Friday update every week, and a job site swept every night.

  4. Step 4 Handover

    Walkthrough

    We fix the punch list, hand over the warranty, and come back at one year to check.

They told us the price in March and it was the price in September. The crew swept up every night, and our kids still ask where Luis went.
