Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our construction services
What is soft story retrofitting and why is it required in San Francisco?
Soft story retrofitting strengthens buildings with weak first floors (typically with large openings like garages) to withstand earthquakes. San Francisco requires this for wood-frame buildings with 3+ stories and 5+ units built before 1978. It's mandatory to protect lives and property during seismic events.
How long does a typical soft story retrofit project take?
Most soft story retrofit projects take 2-4 months from permit approval to completion. The actual construction typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending on the building size and complexity. We minimize tenant disruption by working in phases.
What types of commercial construction projects do you handle?
We handle office build-outs, retail renovations, restaurant construction, medical facilities, and mixed-use developments. Our commercial projects range from small tenant improvements to complete building renovations up to 50,000 square feet.
Do you provide emergency construction services?
Yes, we offer emergency response services for storm damage, water damage, structural failures, and other urgent construction needs throughout the Bay Area. Our emergency team provides rapid response to minimize damage and ensure safety.
What areas do you serve in the Bay Area?
We serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area, with primary focus on San Francisco, San Mateo County, and the Peninsula. Our service area extends from San Francisco to Palo Alto, including Daly City, Burlingame, San Mateo, and Redwood City.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we hold California General Contractor License #917809 and maintain comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We're also bonded for projects requiring it.
How do you handle permits and city approvals?
We manage the entire permit process, from initial applications to final inspections. Our team has strong relationships with Bay Area building departments and extensive experience navigating local codes and requirements.
What is your typical project timeline?
Project timelines vary: Kitchen remodels typically take 6-8 weeks, bathroom remodels 3-4 weeks, home additions 3-6 months, and new construction 8-12 months. We provide detailed schedules during the planning phase.
