Home About Projects Client Statements FAQs Contact Projects Whether the project is a new home, a home renovation or a simple deck addition, we apply our years of experience and our passion for construction to each and every project.

Cichowski Main House Renovation and Addition See More Photos This project was a design/build project, we provided design, permitting and construction services for remodel, addition and new construction work on their Cambria property. The turn-of-the-century home had a beautiful mix of arts-and-crafts details. We were very careful to seamlessly blend the new work to the old. Cichowski Renovation - New Garage Cambria, CA See More Photos This project was a kitchen and master bathroom addition, as well as the addition of a new garage. The residence was a turn-of-the-century cottage, so the clients' goal was for all new work to integrate seamlessly with the existing finishes. Cichowski Renovation of Cottage See More Photos Donahue Remodel Cambria, CA See More Photos This was a design/build project, we provided design/ permitting and construction services for the renovation of their Cambria home. The home was intended to allow multiple families to gather as well as remain cozy for two people to use for a weekend getaway. We took the basic layout of their original single story beach bungalow and expanded on it without loosing the feel of the "little beach house." Community Presbyterian Church of Cambria - Main Sanctuary Cambria, CA See More Photos The original Sanctuary was designed and built by local legend Warren Leopold in 1967, but in 2001 the structure was destroyed by a fire. We were able to salvage the existing concrete slab, but the remainder of the structure was beyond repair. With the help of the twelve determined Presbyterians on the reconstruction committee, we completed the Sanctuary in 2003. We owe special appreciation to John Ehlers, our treasured volunteer carpenter with a heart of gold. We were subsequently hired a few years later to renovate the Fellowship Hall structure. A new reconstruction committee worked diligently to create a comfortable gathering place for church functions and local civic groups. Community Presbyterian Church of Cambria - Fellowship Hall Renovation Cambria, CA See More Photos Five years after completing the Sanctuary structure for the Presbyterian Church, we were invited back to renovate their existing Fellowship Hall structure. We worked within the existing footprint to create new handicap-accessible bathrooms and a new kitchen to go along with all new plumbing, electrical and heating systems. We also used a new fiber-cement siding product to create the deep shadow lines in the lap siding to mimic the look of the Sanctuary structure. Torell Shop and Studio Cambria, CA See More Photos As a design/build, we spent several years of countless weekends on our own property. We were able to add a garage/shop to our property to go along with a remodel/addition to our existing home.

Evans' Studio Cambria, CA See More Photos Our client had a unique vision for his new artist/guest studio. Every facet of the project required a meticulous attention to detail, from the airfoil-shaped deck posts to the curving rafter tails.
