Our Services

Specialized work for Pacific Heights' unique architecture and climate challenges.

Waterproofing & Foundation Care

Foundation waterproofing detail on a historic Pacific Heights Victorian basement.

Pacific Heights homes, especially those on the ridge above Lafayette Park, sit high above the city's infrastructure but still face water intrusion from aging foundations and settling. Our foundation waterproofing protects basements and crawl spaces.

Deck waterproofing is equally critical. Our custom deck reconditioning handles the seasonal moisture and fog exposure these exposed outdoor spaces see.

Custom Deck & Pergola Installation

Why Local Expertise Matters

Pacific Heights isn't like other neighborhoods.

Historic Architecture Demands Care

Victorian, Mission Revival, Edwardian, and Château styles are common throughout Pacific Heights. These buildings were constructed before modern codes and materials. Repair work must respect original design while addressing water infiltration, settling, and age-related wear.

We understand how to work with plaster moldings, restore bay windows, and repair decorative details without destroying their character or value.

Challenging Site Access

Pacific Heights sits on steep terrain. Street parking is limited on narrow residential streets. Homeowners associations and neighboring properties require extra coordination. We've worked on dozens of homes in this neighborhood and know how to schedule, access, and protect properties in a dense historic setting.

San Francisco Permits & Codes

Pacific Heights properties often sit in the city's review zones. Permits, preservation rules, and seismic code requirements vary. We manage all paperwork and inspections so you don't have to.

With 20 years in construction and 500+ homes in San Francisco, we bring expertise that generic contractors simply can't match.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of roofing material is best for Pacific Heights' fog and wind?

Metal standing seam, composite shingles rated for coastal exposure, and slate are all excellent choices. We recommend based on your home's architecture, budget, and maintenance preference. Metal and slate last 40–60+ years.

Do you work with HOAs and require written approvals?

Yes. Many Pacific Heights buildings have homeowner associations. We coordinate with management, obtain approvals, and provide documentation throughout the project.

How do you handle foundation waterproofing in a 1890s Victorian?

We assess the foundation condition, identify water entry points, install interior and/or exterior moisture barriers, improve drainage, and test before final approval. No invasive solutions unless necessary.

Can you build custom decks in a steep backyard?

Absolutely. Sloped sites often require multi-level decks with structural engineering. We design solutions that fit the terrain, add functionality, and complement your home's architecture.

How do you protect neighboring properties during work?

We use protective barriers, tarps, and containment systems. We schedule work to minimize noise during early mornings and keep the site clean daily—essential in close-packed neighborhoods like Pacific Heights.

Are you licensed and insured for San Francisco work?

Yes. We hold all required California licenses, carry comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and maintain a clean permit history with the city.
