No two homes are the same. We collaborate with you and your architect to create spaces that fit how you actually live.
Jorge Escobedo, our Managing Director and Estimator, brings architectural oversight to every remodel, ensuring design intent is protected while navigating the realities of existing structures. Jairo Laverde, our Project Manager, coordinates seamlessly between your architect, structural engineer, and our field team to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Every evening, you receive a shared Google Photos album with progress shots and drone footage. You'll always know exactly what happened on your site that day.
We don't work on time-and-materials. After our Professional Services Agreement (PSA) phase—a paid feasibility study that investigates site conditions, permitting, and budget realities—we provide a fixed-price contract. No surprise invoices. No scope creep.
Our detailed project schedules are updated at least twice monthly and shared with you and your architect. You'll see every milestone, every lead time, and every built-in buffer.
We conduct weekly meetings with you and your architect to review progress, solve field conditions, and ensure continuous alignment throughout construction.
We maintain exceptionally clean and organized job sites, including neatly managed fencing, wrapped portable toilets, and proactive neighborhood communication to minimize disruption.
