Design & Building for a sustainable future.
We are a woman owned and operated construction firm offering a variety of design and building services. Since 2020 we have specialized in home hardening—a practice of making buildings more resilient in the face of nearby wildfire. Our team is passionate about helping our clients adapt to climate change by sharing knowledge and offering services such as: vent upgrades, gutter guards, zone zero planning and implementation, solar skirting, rain capture systems, as well as general building.
We serve small businesses and are willing to do any size job. Beyond this, we look at sustainability from all directions. Whenever possible, we encourage our clients to choose materials that are made from up-cycled or regenerative building materials such as denim insulation and bamboo lumber.
Our vision of sustainability is not limited to material use—We provide quality, long-lasting work and avoid "quick fixes" which will require rework in the future.
