We are very excited to get started on this ground-up Willow Glen new residential construction project slated to start July, 2024..

Perfect for a smaller family and lots of entertaining. This whole house remodel/addition in San Jose, CA should be complete by June 2023.

This deck was a long laborious process to put together but the outcome we think is well worth the effort.

This was an extraordinarily difficult project in Emerald Hills, CA. Never before had anyone taken on putting a house on this vacant lot of near solid rock. The end result is nothing short of spectacular with an outstanding view out the back of the San Francisco Bay.

This natural stucco finish for the fireplace is a huge hit with everyone.

It hurts to lose a basement like this. In order to get the new plans for this Willow Glen remodel-addition approved, the basement had to be filled and the dirt compacted. There went the speakeasy!

Rare for the area, this property had yet to have a house on it. New connections were needed for power, gas, telecom/data, and a new sewer line out to the bottom of the property.

Installing a new gas line from the street to a new house we built from the ground up where no house and utilities existed before.

The hot air venting for this fireplace insert is ideal for a large TV mounted directly above the fireplace. The planned center channel speaker location will also work to buffer some of the heat from the insert should the homeowner decide to run both the TV and fireplace at the same time.

Hillcrest House: Just wrapped up framing and rough trades and now preparing for siding and stucco for this amazing modern farmhouse with near panoramic views of the Bay Area. This foundation required a substantial amount of work as we drilled into solid rock.

On our way to completing a new 2,800 sq. ft. modern farmhouse with an integrated ADU on a hillside.

Hillcrest Way: Foundation pour day!

This foundation took some serious work to complete. The entire lot is almost solid bedrock just below the surface. To dig the piers we had to bring in a specialized drilling company to assist us.

These handmade rebar cages get filled with concrete deep into the ground.

This sort of work is no joke. We had to hire three different drilling companies until one of them, American Drilling, drilled through solid bedrock and eventually reached the depth of each pier. Next time we need to pay more attention to the soils report!
