Palo Alto

Palo Alto has some of the oldest housing stock we work in, and behind the plaster there is often knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply lines, and framing that predates any modern seismic detail. Those are solvable problems, but they belong in the estimate rather than in a change order.

The Eichler-era homes in the south of the city are a category of their own, with radiant slabs, exposed beams and glass walls that need specific approaches to insulation, roofing and any structural change. We plan those details before quoting.

Palo Alto's permitting is thorough, and we treat it that way: complete drawings, real energy calculations, and inspections scheduled so the project is not waiting on paperwork.
