What we do

What we build.

New homes are the heart of what we do, but we also take on additions, remodels, and ADUs. Whatever the project, the same crew and the same owner see it through from start to finish.

What we do most

New Homes

This is the core of our business. You bring a lot, or a house you plan to tear down, and we deliver a finished custom home. We handle every stage, from the raw dirt to the last coat of paint.

A lot of our homes go up on hillside lots, so we do plenty of caisson, grading, and retaining work to get a solid pad before anything else starts.

  • Grading, foundations, caissons, and retaining walls
  • Framing, including hillside and multi-story
  • Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and Title 24
  • Cabinets, tile, floors, and all the finish work

Additions

Sometimes you like where you live and just need more room. We add second stories, primary suites, bigger kitchens, and whole new wings.

The hard part of an addition is making the new part look like it was always there. Matching the roofline, the siding, and the details is where a lot of contractors cut corners. We don't.

  • Second stories and vertical additions
  • Primary suites, family rooms, and kitchen bump-outs
  • Reframing and foundation work to carry the new load
  • Rooflines and finishes matched to the existing house

Remodels

If the bones are good, a remodel can get you most of the way to a new house for a lot less money. We do full gut jobs and single rooms.

Kitchens and baths are the usual ones, but we also open up old, chopped-up floor plans and pull walls wherever the structure lets us. When we open a wall and find a surprise, you hear about it right away, not at the end.

  • Full down-to-the-studs remodels
  • Kitchens and bathrooms
  • Opening up walls and floor plans
  • New windows, wiring, plumbing, and HVAC

ADUs

An ADU is a smart way to add value or make room for family. California changed the rules to make these much easier to permit, and we build them all three ways.

Detached in the backyard, attached to the house, or a garage conversion. We take care of the permits and the utility hookups so you're not the one chasing the city.

  • Detached, attached, and garage conversions
  • Rental units or space for family
  • Permits and utility hookups handled
  • Finished to match your main house
