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.

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.
