Custom Homes

Walking into a newly-built home is one of the best feelings we know. Thoughtful design can make even the most common housekeeping tasks a treat — which is life-changing when you consider that you’ll be doing them hundreds or even thousands of times a year.

We’ve built everything from modern, tech-forward homes in the heart of the valley to custom rustic homes way up in the coastal mountains. What matters isn’t a particular style, but a willingness to work together towards a space that’s built to last — and to delight. 

Remodeling

Perhaps you’ve just purchased a home. Or your children are becoming teenagers, vying for their own space. Maybe you’re planning to make your retirement as comfortable as possible, or, you’ve simply had enough of that rose-colored tile in the Hall Bath.

We’ve remodeled thousands of homes in the South Bay Area over the last 35+ years, and we have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Whatever you have in mind, we’re here to put the full weight of our experience and expertise behind your vision for the future.

What’s Included

We define a successful project by how seamlessly we guide you through the process, how confident you feel that you’re getting the most from your budget, and how much you love coming home to your new space — not just on the day it’s finished, but every day thereafter. Here’s a glance at what’s included when working with us:

PROPOSAL

Our proposals are written in plain language to help you understand exactly what you’ll receive from us, and how much it will cost.

CONTRACT

A clear home construction contract that protects both of us, and your home, throughout the process.

PROJECT CALENDAR

A comprehensive timeline that lays out our vision of success from start to finish, including important milestones and dates that you’ll need to know throughout the project.

License & Insurance

We, and every one of our subcontractors, are fully licensed and insured. You can check the status of our license here (our License number is 1065588).

HOUSE Etiquette

We consider ourselves to be guests in your home, and we expect our team — including all of our vendors and tradespeople — to comport themselves with care and respect.  

SECURITY & PROTECTION

The security and safety of your home is of the utmost importance. We tidy up and secure the job site at the end of every workday, and perform a site-wide cleanup at the end of each week. We also avoid leaving debris at the project site to provide a safer and cleaner experience for everyone.

Home Spec Sheet

We gather all of the important details — paint colors, product numbers, etc. — and compile them into a comprehensive Spec Sheet that you’ll receive at the end of your project so you can keep an easy reference close at hand.

Appliance Manuals

We collect and deliver all available user manuals for your new fixtures and appliances once your project is complete so they’re always at your fingertips for future reference.

Warrantied Work

We don’t run away from our mistakes, and we take pride in the tailored service we give to our clients. We still get calls from clients we worked with more than 25 years ago because they trust that we’ll take care of them.

Client Resources

Construction is complex, but it shouldn’t be confusing. The more informed you are, the better you’ll be able to navigate your project from beginning to end. We’ve built some tools just for you, to help you learn more, and empower yourself throughout the process.

Project Timeline

How will your home project affect your property taxes? What’s the most effective sequence for hiring an architect and a general contractor? What’s your role once the project starts? These questions and many others are answered in this helpful step-by-step guide to navigating your home project.

Style Guide

Knowing your fixtures and finishes early will help keep your project running smoothly. Use this guide to prioritize, research and organize your style choices. Full disclosure: We don’t get paid by any of the vendors listed. They’re simply the vendors we think are best-in-class after 30 years of working in the South Bay Area.
