Our Complete Home Construction Process

Tailored Home Design That Reflects Your Lifestyle

Your new home starts with smart design. We work closely with you to plan a layout that suits your family, style preferences, and the unique features of your Albany lot. Whether you prioritize open-concept living, multi-generational spaces, or energy-efficient features, our design team helps you turn ideas into blueprints—beautifully and realistically.

Site Preparation and Land Grading with Precision

Before we lay a single brick, we clear the land, test soil, and prepare the lot to meet structural and city requirements. Site preparation includes demolition (if needed), leveling, drainage planning, and utility access—critical first steps for ensuring your home is built on solid ground.

Foundation Work That Sets the Stage for Success

A strong home begins with a solid foundation. We offer a range of options including slab, crawlspace, or raised foundations depending on your lot conditions. Every foundation we pour is engineered for long-term stability and local seismic standards, so you can build with confidence.

Framing Built for Strength, Scale, and Design Accuracy

Once the foundation sets, we build the framework that defines your home’s structure. Our expert framers construct floors, walls, and roofs to exact specifications, allowing for clean installations of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. This critical step ensures your home is sturdy, secure, and built to last.

Utility Installation: Plumbing and Electrical Done Right

We install all interior systems, including water lines, sewer, gas, electrical wiring, and outlets—placed according to your final floor plan. Our licensed tradespeople work in sync to keep timelines on track while ensuring the safety, efficiency, and code compliance of your future home’s infrastructure.

Finishing Touches Inside and Out

Once insulation and drywall are complete, your home starts to feel real. We finish interiors with beautiful trim, paint, staircases, and surfaces, while the exterior gets its final siding, stucco, or cladding. These visual elements bring personality and elegance to every room and facade.

Professional Landscaping and Outdoor Living Spaces

We create outdoor spaces that complement your home’s architecture. From lawn installation and drought-tolerant plants to custom patios, walkways, fences, and retaining walls—we help shape outdoor areas that are both practical and inviting.

Custom Cabinetry and Built-Ins That Fit Perfectly

Our custom cabinetry and storage solutions are crafted to match your style and maximize your space. Whether it’s a chef’s kitchen, mudroom, or library nook, we build to fit and finish with quality materials that last for generations.

Beautiful, Durable Flooring Installation

Choose from hardwood, tile, engineered flooring, or luxury vinyl. We help you select the right materials for each room—balancing aesthetics, durability, and budget—then install them with expert care.

Window and Door Installation for Light, Style, and Efficiency

We install premium doors and energy-efficient windows that enhance comfort, security, and natural light. Options include large picture windows, sliding doors, and high-performance glass that fits Albany’s energy codes.

Dependable Roofing Built to Endure

Our roofing systems are built to handle the Bay Area’s variable climate. Whether you choose composition shingles, tile, or metal, we ensure expert installation with proper ventilation and flashing for a roof that lasts decades.

Interior and Exterior Painting with a Designer Finish

A fresh coat of paint transforms your space. Our painting team delivers smooth, durable finishes that elevate your walls, ceilings, trim, and exteriors—with color consultation available to help you choose the perfect palette.

Thoughtfully Designed Lighting Installation

We install lighting that brings ambiance and efficiency into every room. From task lighting in the kitchen to accent lighting in the living room and smart fixtures throughout the home, we illuminate your home with style and functionality.

Modern HVAC Systems for Year-Round Comfort

Stay comfortable with efficient heating, ventilation, and cooling systems. We install HVAC setups that are optimized for your home’s size and orientation, improving air quality and reducing energy bills.
