What we build

From one room to the whole house

Six kinds of project, each designed in our office and built by our own carpenters, with the trades we've worked beside for years.

Projects

Recent work, week by week

What each house needed, how long we were on site, what it cost, and the schedule we kept.

A bungalow kitchen after the remodel, deep green cabinets and a long butcher-block island under a stained fir beam, evening sun through old windows

Craftsman bungalow, Riverside

A 1924 bungalow kitchen, opened up

The wall between a dark galley kitchen and the dining room came out. A stained fir beam carries the floor above, and the kitchen now runs the length of the house.

How a build runs

Plumb, level and on schedule

Six steps from the first visit to the walkthrough. You know the price before we start and the week we finish.

Costs →
  1. Site visit

    We come out, measure, listen and look behind what we can. A written estimate follows within a week, free.

  2. Design

    Our designer draws it, in 3D for you and to scale for the town. You sign off on every room before we price it.

  3. Fixed price and permits

    A fixed-price contract with a schedule by the week. We file the permit and answer the town's questions.

  4. Framing

    Demolition, then the structure: footings, beams, studs and rafters, plumb and square, inspected before it's closed.

  5. Systems and inspections

    Wiring, plumbing, heating, insulation and air sealing, each inspected by the town before the drywall goes up.

  6. Finishes and walkthrough

    Cabinets, tile, floors and paint. We walk every room with you, fix the list, and hand over the keys and the warranty.
