Where do you operate?

We are local to the Contra Costa County area of California. Specifically, we build in Alamo, Diablo, Danville, Lafayette, Orinda, Blackhawk, Walnut Creek, San Ramon, and Sunol.

How long will it take to build my dream home?

Each home is custom built on a unique timeline depending on design, material availability, and weather. A full home is typically 8-12 months. 

Are you fully licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Our Contractor ID #848015

Do you do remodels?

Yes, depending on the size of the project. 

I already have a designer, can we work with you?

Yes, we’ll work with your existing designer. Or if you don’t have a designer yet, we have several that we can introduce you to. 

Where do you source your materials?

Typically our materials are sourced locally, within a 30-mile radius of the job site. I give customers a source list that they can use to select their materials based on their budget. 

What happens if there are unexpected delays or costs?

Our clients are kept up to date on every step of the process and construction timelines. If unexpected scenarios arise, customers are notified of the situation and implications as soon as possible. We’ll provide estimates for timing and costs for different solution options. The client will ultimately decide how they would like to proceed.

What kind of warranty do you offer on your work?

Contractors in California provide a one-year warranty. This warranty guarantees that the work meets specific standards and remains free from defects for a year after completion. Different elements of the home will also come with manufacturer warranties that superseded our contractor warranty. For example, roofs are usually warrantied for 25+ years.

How can I make sure that my custom home is energy efficient?

We follow Title 24 which specifies high energy efficiency. Customers can also choose more sustainable options that suit their efficiency needs. We’ll provide these options along the process. 

Do you build commercial spaces?

We are a residential home builder only. 

Do you work on outdoor spaces?

Absolutely, we’d love to build you an outdoor living space. From kitchen, tennis and pickleball courts, in ground pools, fireplaces and fire pits—you name it.
