Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need city permits for a deck or pergola?

Yes. Most decks, pergolas, and structural work require Mill Valley building permits. We handle the submittal and follow-up with the City, so you don't have to.

What about HOA approval in areas like Sycamore Park?

Deed restrictions and architectural controls apply in some Mill Valley neighborhoods. We review your covenants upfront and submit plans to the HOA architectural committee if required. This prevents surprises.

Why is waterproofing so important in Mill Valley?

Heavy winter rains, canyon drainage, and tree-shaded lots create moisture challenges. Decks and foundations can rot quickly if not sealed. Waterproofing now prevents expensive water damage later.

Do you work around protected redwoods?

Absolutely. Mill Valley protects mature trees. We design around them, respect setbacks, and follow all city guidelines. Many of our projects blend seamlessly with the landscape.

Do you serve areas like Strawberry and Homestead?

Yes. Strawberry, Homestead Valley, Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, Almonte, and Alto have Mill Valley addresses. Some are in unincorporated Marin County with different rules. We know the difference.
