What we can provide you -
Short commute
We work within a very small radius. We don't go over bridges to get to job sites. All of our work is in a 5 mile radius of downtown Berkeley. This really helps with work / life balance.
Weekends
We work during the week, standard hours, and care more about being efficient than pushing ourselves with unrealistic deadlines.
Quality work
We have staff and subs that have been working with us for many years. We really care about getting the work done right, not about cutting corners.
Steady work, time off
We have had continual work for all of our staff for many years. We give paid vacation and grant that time off as we know you will come back refreshed. We also have healthcare and a matching 401k plan.
Great clients
We can choose who we work for, carefully selecting homeowners and architects that are reasonable, professional, and have interesting projects.
