Oakland’s Eichler homes are iconic examples of California’s mid-century modern architecture. These distinctive houses feature open floor plans, post-and-beam construction, and walls of glass that blend indoor and outdoor living. Preserving these design elements while adding modern comforts requires specialized expertise. Our team understands the benefits of Eichler homes and follows renovation best practices to keep your Eichler’s character intact.
We respect Eichler homes’ original vision — from their radiant floor heating to clerestory windows. In Oakland and across the Bay Area, our remodels enhance energy efficiency and functionality while celebrating historic charm.
