FAQs
Do you handle both historic restoration and modern building additions?
Yes, absolutely. Founded in 1959 with a focus on Victorian home restoration, our expertise in structural integrity and period-appropriate techniques provides a strong foundation for all our work. This deep knowledge translates seamlessly into modern projects like balcony additions, new decks, and building extensions. We ensure any addition is structurally sound, aesthetically cohesive, and built to last, whether it's for a historic Oakland property or a contemporary home.
What's a common roofing issue in Oakland, and how do you address it?
In Oakland's climate, roof membrane cracking and aging materials are frequent concerns, often accelerated by sun exposure and temperature fluctuations. We address this through comprehensive roof inspections to identify specific failure points. Our solutions range from targeted repairs using compatible, high-quality materials to complete roof replacements designed for longevity. Our goal is to provide a durable, waterproof solution that protects your home, leveraging our decades of experience with local building challenges.
Can you help with both the exterior painting and structural work on my deck?
Yes, we offer a complete service. For deck projects, we handle the full scope from the structural construction or reconstruction of the frame to the final protective finish. We can build a new deck or repair an existing one, then apply expert exterior staining or painting. This integrated approach, using quality materials and proven waterproofing techniques, ensures your deck is not only beautiful but also structurally sound and built to withstand the Bay Area elements for years to come.
