Services

Six disciplines.
One standard.

From entire home reimaginings to focused renovations, our work spans every phase of residential construction.

The Process

From first conversation
to final walkthrough

Every project moves through the same five phases. Timing varies — a kitchen typically completes in 14–20 weeks, a full home in 9–14 months — but the rhythm is consistent. Here's how it goes.

01
Phase One

Discovery

Weeks 1–2

An on-site visit, a long conversation about how you live, and a written scope document. We learn what you want — and just as importantly, what you don't.

02
Phase Two

Design & Specification

Weeks 2–6

Floor plans, elevations, and a complete materials specification — every tile, every fixture, every cabinet pull selected before a single demolition swing.

03
Phase Three

Permits & Pre-Construction

Weeks 4–12

We handle all city permitting (Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, beyond). Long-lead materials are ordered. Subcontractors are scheduled. The job site is prepared.

04
Phase Four

Construction

Variable

Demolition, framing, mechanical, finish work — in that order. You receive weekly written updates with photos. We don't disappear and reappear; we communicate constantly.

05
Phase Five

Punch List & Handoff

Final 2 weeks

We walk every surface with you, list anything that isn't right, and fix it. Final cleaning. Photo documentation. One-year warranty on workmanship — in writing.
