Our Services

Comprehensive construction and renovation services for North Beach homes and buildings.

Waterproofing & Water Damage Repair

North Beach's proximity to the Bay, combined with aging building envelopes, creates moisture challenges. We perform deck waterproofing, foundation waterproofing, water intrusion diagnosis, and water damage remediation.

We use proven sealing, drainage, and structural protection methods to stop damage before it spreads through framing and foundations.

Deck Construction & Reconditioning

Whether building a new deck or restoring a weathered one, we ensure proper framing, code-compliant railings, and lasting finishes. North Beach lots often present space constraints and shared-wall conditions requiring expert planning.

Our work includes structural inspection, replacement, and refinishing to restore function and appearance.

North Beach's exposed hillside locations and wind patterns demand durable roofing and weather-tight siding. We install and repair pitched roofs, flat roof systems, and exterior cladding while maintaining architectural character.

All work meets modern building code and DBI inspection standards.
