Construction Preparation
Management of the entire construction process from salvage to final touches
We implement, perform and/or manage partial or complete demolitions of existing houses, garages, and accessory buildings
We have experience moving buildings, replacing foundations, creating basements where none exist, working on minor and major slopes, installing complex foundation systems that include pin and auger cast piles, grade beams and associated drainage and waterproofing systems
We install new or replace all or individual utility systems including electrical power, water supply lines, sanitary and drainage systems, gas lines, and data / cable systems
We self-perform all carpentry related work from framing to interior finish work including window and door installation, base, window, and door trim, ceramic, porcelain and specialty tile installation, cabinetry and appliance installation, siding installation and deck building
We manage all specialty trades and sub-contractors including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, insulation, drywall, painting, flooring
We build interior and exterior stair systems including framing, railing systems, treads & risers, handrails and lighting
We perform complete kitchen and bathroom renovations, remodels, and replacements
We manage exterior hardscape installations (pavers, stone, concrete), irrigations systems, and plantings
We build additions, decks, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and garages
Construction Process
We provide follow-up services such as general maintenance, modifications and changes as necessary or desirable
We guarantee our work for a minimum of one year and will remain available for consultation and repairs long beyond that timeframe
We love hearing from past clients and are always willing to help troubleshoot home-care issues, whether they are related to our work or not
We will gladly help identify suitable resources if necessary for making necessary updates as the years go by: buildings contain more moving parts and electronics now that they ever have, and while these things make our lives better, they do fail, and finding suitable replacement items can be challenging.
If we can’t fix it ourselves, we will find the people who can: sometimes accidents occur that damage finish work, and we will always be glad to assist in repairs.
