Our Services

Covering what homes in Boulder Creek actually need.

Framing & Structural Work

Adding onto an old cabin in Wildwood or replacing rotted beams in a Forest Springs cottage requires respect for the original framing and knowledge of what the county will approve.

We handle full-frame additions, deck structures, and load-bearing repairs—always to current code, always with permits filed upfront.

Additions & ADU Construction

Land is tight in the San Lorenzo Valley. We build detached ADUs, second-story additions, and side expansions on compact lots.

Setbacks, septic clearance, and driveway access are all factored in. County inspects foundation, framing, and final mechanical.

Water Damage & Restoration

Winter storms here bring heavy rain and roof leaks. We assess wet framing, replace soft wood, patch or replace roofing, and re-flash all penetrations.

Caught early, most damage stays in the wall. Ignored, it spreads. We get in fast and document for your insurance.

Railings, Decks & Fencing

Mountain homes need sturdy railings for steep sites and decay-resistant decking for the rain and redwood shade.

We build to code with proper footings, use pressure-treated or composite materials, and design with slope and drainage in mind.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Redwoods & Moisture

Towering redwoods shade most Boulder Creek homes, which means moisture never fully dries out during winter. Roofs and siding need aggressive inspection and preventive work.

Uneven Terrain & Access

Homes perched on mountainsides above Highway 9 mean steep driveways and limited equipment access. We plan logistics upfront—crane placement, concrete delivery timing, crew parking—so nothing gets wasted.

Santa Cruz County Permitting

County rules here differ from city code. Septic clearance, well setbacks, and grading inspections require forms and reviews specific to unincorporated areas.

We've worked with the Santa Cruz County Department of Planning and Building Inspection for years—we know what passes and what gets questioned.

Getting Here

We serve all neighborhoods across Boulder Creek—from Wildwood in the north to Redwood Grove in the south, and scattered homes along Bear Creek Road and Big Basin Way.

Call or text to schedule your free in-person consultation. We visit on-site to assess the project, answer questions, and explain what permits and inspections apply to your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a simple deck or fence?

Yes. Any deck over 30 inches high or any fence greater than 6 feet tall requires Santa Cruz County building permits and inspections for Boulder Creek.

How do you handle roof leaks during heavy winter rain?

We can often respond the same day, tarp the area, and schedule a full repair once the weather clears. Documentation for insurance is included.

What about ADUs? Can I build one on my Boulder Creek lot?

Probably, but setbacks and septic rules are strict. We assess your property and file the application with the County once we confirm feasibility.

Can you build around the redwoods on my property?

Yes. We design around existing trees, protect root zones, and comply with any tree preservation rules the County enforces for your area.

Do I need to hire an engineer for a new addition?

For most additions over 500 sq. ft., the County will ask for a structural engineer's stamp. We coordinate that and factor it into the plan phase.
