Our Services

Every service is tailored to Sausalito's climate, terrain, and building code demands.

Deck Waterproofing & Reconditioning

Restored deck overlooking Richardson Bay, Spring Valley.

Bay moisture and fog wear decks fast in neighborhoods like The Hill and Bridgeway Promenade. We seal, repair, and waterproof wood or composite decks with proven coastal-grade coatings. Rot inspection, board replacement, and railing code compliance included.

Decks that handle bay salt spray and winter moisture stay safe and beautiful for years.

Foundation & Waterproofing

Hillside homes in Old Town and Nevada Valley face foundation stress from slope, water runoff, and tidal proximity near the waterfront. We install sump systems, drainage remediation, and moisture barriers. Leaking basements and foundation cracks are fixed with structural evaluation and lasting solutions.

Roofing

Roofing project in Sausalito hillside location.

Wind, fog, and thermal stress demand durable roofing here. We install shingled and flat roofs built to handle Sausalito's weather patterns. Inspections, repairs, flashing details, and ventilation all meet code and shield against leaks year-round.

Framing & Structural Work

Additions, remodels, and seismic upgrades require precision framing on steep Sausalito sites. We design and build load paths for hillside homes, verify code compliance with the Building Division, and manage rough inspections through final sign-off. All structural members sized and installed per code.

Siding & Stucco Repair

Exterior siding work near the Bridgeway Promenade.

Bay fog and salt spray degrade siding and stucco fast. We repair cracks, replace damaged sections, and install durable new finishes. Wood trim, fiber-cement board, and modern stucco systems all sealed and protected against moisture and coastal wear.

Water Damage Remediation & Drywall

Leaks from decks, roofs, or basements happen in Sausalito's wet climate. We locate damage, remove and replace affected framing and drywall, address the root cause, and restore interiors to code. Mold remediation and ventilation upgrades prevent future moisture problems.

Pergolas & Outdoor Structures

Pergolas, trellises, and shade structures on Sausalito's waterfront require wind-rated design and proper fastening to sloped sites. We custom-build these features with coastal-grade materials, code-compliant footings, and finishes that handle salt spray and fog.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Sausalito isn't a typical Bay Area town. Your home faces unique pressures that demand experience.

Bay Moisture & Waterfront Conditions

Richardson Bay's salt spray, tidal cycles, and constant fog mean rot, rust, and mold thrive here if your structure isn't sealed right. We build with materials and details that stand up to continuous waterfront exposure.

Hillside Terrain & Slope Challenges

Homes on Sausalito's steep hillsides need special foundation care, drainage design, and structural bracing. We know how to work with extreme slopes—and how to keep water off your property.

Permit & Code Expertise

Sausalito's Planning Division and Building Division enforce strict codes—particularly around decks, erosion control (October–April), and environmental impact. We navigate these requirements so your project moves forward without delays.

20 years in construction. 500+ Sausalito projects completed. We know the neighborhoods, the weather patterns, the inspectors, and the code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permits for my project in Sausalito?

Almost all residential and commercial changes in Sausalito require a planning permit. We prepare plans and submit them to the Planning Division for review, ensuring zoning compliance before any work starts.

Why is waterproofing so important on the waterfront?

Richardson Bay's moisture, salt spray, and fog accelerate rot and mold in untreated wood. Proper waterproofing on decks, foundations, and exterior surfaces prevents costly damage and extends the life of your home by decades.

When is erosion control required on my job?

Sausalito requires erosion control measures from October 15 through April 15, or whenever rain is active. We install and maintain erosion control—silt fencing, sediment barriers, or stabilized exits—to protect the bay and meet code.

What's the permit process like for a deck rebuild?

Deck work requires both a Planning Permit and a Building Permit in Sausalito. We submit detailed plans, handle any Planning Division hold conditions, obtain the permit, schedule rough and final inspections, and ensure all code requirements—like railing height and fastening—are met before we finish.

Can you work on floating homes in the Waldo Point area?

Yes. Floating homes require specialized knowledge of waterproofing, ventilation, and dock work. We've completed repairs and upgrades on houseboats in Sausalito's floating communities and understand their unique structural and environmental demands.

How do I know if my foundation needs attention?

Signs include cracks, water seeping into basements, uneven floors, or shifting doors and windows. Call us for a free evaluation. On Sausalito's slopes, early intervention prevents major structural problems.
