Eichler Homes in Sunnyvale: A Mid-Century Legacy

Sunnyvale is home to one of the largest concentrations of Eichler homes in California, with over 1,100 Eichler houses built across 16 neighborhoods in the city. These iconic mid-century modern homes, developed by visionary builder Joseph Eichler between the 1950s and early 1970s, feature hallmark design elements like open floor plans, post-and-beam construction, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and central open-air atriums. They were designed to “bring the outdoors in” with abundant natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor connections. Sunnyvale’s Eichler communities are so significant that the city has adopted special Eichler design guidelines to help preserve their unique character. Homeowners cherish these properties for their modernist architecture and historic charm, but also seek to update them for contemporary living. Today’s Eichler renovations often involve enlarging the modest original kitchens, adding extra bathrooms, and upgrading materials – all while preserving the mid-century aesthetic that makes Eichler homes so beloved . Our team understands the importance of honoring this legacy in every Eichler home remodeling project.

Challenges and Considerations in Eichler Home Remodeling

Remodeling an Eichler home in Sunnyvale requires a specialized approach. These homes have unique construction and design details that differ from conventional houses, and unknowledgeable remodelers can inadvertently damage their character or structure. Here are some key Eichler remodeling challenges and how we address them:

• Maintaining Mid-Century Style: Eichlers have a distinct mid-century modern look – from Philippine mahogany wall paneling to iconic exposed beams and Redwood siding. We carefully preserve or replicate these details. (See our guide on restoring Eichler homes’ authenticity for tips on maintaining original materials and style .) We can refinish or replace wood panels with period-accurate materials and use mid-century-modern door replacements that match the home’s era. Exterior updates, like new siding, are done with respect for the original design – for instance, using clear vertical grain redwood when repairing or installing siding (learn more in our post on the benefits and drawbacks of Redwood siding).

• Flat Roof and Ceiling Considerations: Most Eichlers feature flat or low-pitch roofs with no attic space. This creates challenges for insulation, lighting, and HVAC updates. Our team is experienced with flat roof challenges in Eichler homes – we know how to improve roof insulation and waterproofing without altering the home’s profile. (For example, installing a foam roof and air sealing can boost efficiency; see our Eichler roof insulation guide for details.) We also plan any electrical or lighting work cautiously: rather than cut into the tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, we utilize creative solutions as discussed in Eichler lighting without cutting T&G ceilings. This ensures we add modern lighting or wiring while keeping the beautiful exposed ceiling intact.

• Original Radiant Heating Systems: Many Eichlers were built with in-slab radiant heat pipes. Over time, these systems can leak or fail. We are well-versed in Eichler radiant heating upgrades – whether that means repairing the existing system or converting to a modern solution like a high-efficiency heat pump. (Our article on Eichler radiant leaks: repair vs. replace and heat pump conversion explores the best options for updating these systems.) We also improve overall heating and cooling with minimal disruption, often adding discreet solutions as noted in how to hide modern HVAC in an Eichler home.

• Expansive Glass Walls and Windows: Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors are Eichler trademarks, but original single-pane glass is energy-inefficient by today’s standards. Upgrading to double-pane, insulated units is a priority in many remodels. We specialize in Eichler window wall replacements that meet modern energy codes without compromising the slim-profile mid-century look . (For example, see our Sunnyvale project where an Eichler window wall upgrade doubled the home’s comfort in terms of insulation and noise reduction.) We source window systems that comply with Title 24 requirements – as explained in Eichler Title 24 window walls with slim frames – to maintain that iconic “glass house” appearance. Additionally, we offer glass privacy solutions (like UV films and strategic landscaping) so you can enjoy those walls of glass with comfort and privacy (Eichler glass privacy films & landscaping is a great resource on this topic).

• Insulation and Energy Efficiency: Eichler homes were built in an era of cheaper energy and often lack insulation in walls or roofs. Improving energy efficiency is a key part of remodeling. Our team adds insulation to walls and roofs wherever possible, using techniques that preserve interior paneling and exterior look. We air-seal and isolate the building envelope to eliminate drafts (see Eichler envelope and foam roof air sealing for methods tailored to Eichlers). We can also integrate modern energy-efficient upgrades – for instance, installing efficient appliances, LED lighting, and even adding solar panels. (Solar panel installation for Eichler homes discusses how to add solar while respecting the roof design.) These upgrades not only make your Eichler more comfortable year-round but also reduce energy costs and environmental impact (Eichler homes & environmental impact).

• Structural and Seismic Upgrades: Sunnyvale lies in a seismic region, and Eichler homes’ large glass expanses and post-and-beam structure mean they benefit from targeted strengthening. We can incorporate seismic retrofitting for Eichler homes during a remodel – such as adding shear wall panels or steel moment frames in strategic spots – to improve earthquake safety (Eichler home seismic retrofitting & earthquake safety provides an overview of this process). We also address any dry rot or aging structural members common in 50+ year-old Eichlers – for example, we know how to restore dry-rot damaged Eichler beams so that the repairs blend in seamlessly. Our goal is to ensure your Eichler not only looks stunning but is structurally sound for decades to come.

• Permitting and Design Guidelines: Many Eichler neighborhoods (including those in Sunnyvale) have overlay guidelines or HOA rules to maintain their mid-century character. We are familiar with local Sunnyvale Eichler remodeling guidelines and work within them so that any changes – from exterior additions to fences – comply with community standards. If you’re considering changes like adding a second story or expanding the footprint, we advise on what’s feasible under the rules. (For a primer, check out our HOA rules Eichler home remodeling guide which covers common regulations and how to navigate them.) Our experience with the Sunnyvale planning department and Eichler communities means we can streamline the permitting process for your project.

By anticipating these challenges from the start, GMJ Construction ensures your Eichler remodel is smooth and successful. We tackle each technical hurdle with Eichler-specific solutions, so you can avoid the common “Eichler remodeling mistakes to avoid” that less experienced contractors might make. The result is a beautifully updated Eichler that retains its soul.

Our Eichler Remodeling Services & Expertise

At GMJ Construction, we pride ourselves on being Eichler remodeling specialists serving Sunnyvale and the broader Bay Area. Remodeling an Eichler isn’t just another renovation – it’s a passion project blending modern living needs with classic design. Our architects and craftsmen have extensive experience with mid-century modern homes, so we appreciate the details that make Eichlers special. When you choose us for your Eichler home remodeling services, you get a dedicated team that knows how to modernize an Eichler home without losing its mid-century charm.

Comprehensive Services: We offer full design-build remodeling services, handling every aspect from initial plans to final finishes. Whether you’re looking to do a complete whole-home makeover or focus on a specific area, we’ve got you covered. Our Eichler remodeling services include:

• Planning & Design: Thoughtful architectural planning that respects your Eichler’s original design while adjusting the layout to your lifestyle. Our in-house design team works closely with you on space planning, 3D renderings, and material selections. (Learn about our approach in our planning & design services page, and see city-specific design insights like our Palo Alto planning & design and San Mateo planning & design articles for how we tailor designs to each community.) We ensure that any new addition or reconfiguration feels like it was always part of the home – a seamless integration of old and new.

• Kitchen Remodeling: Many Sunnyvale Eichlers still have their original 1960s kitchen layout, which can feel closed off or dated. We specialize in Eichler kitchen remodeling that opens up and updates these spaces. This can involve removing partial walls to enhance flow (while maintaining structural integrity), installing modern cabinetry with a retro-modern flair, upgrading appliances, and adding more counter space or an island. We pay attention to Eichler details like preserving the glassy atrium views or working around exposed ceiling beams. Check out our guide on updating your Eichler home’s kitchen for a step-by-step look at how we bring mid-century kitchens into the 21st century. We also have local expertise in Sunnyvale kitchen remodeling to navigate any city-specific code requirements or design trends.

• Bathroom Remodeling: Eichler bathrooms are notoriously compact. We can transform your bathroom into a spa-like retreat while respecting the home’s style. Whether it’s enlarging a primary bathroom, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or adding an entirely new bathroom, we handle it all. We incorporate sleek, period-appropriate fixtures and tiles (for inspiration, see our post on Eichler bathroom fixtures for a modern refresh or some bathroom redesign ideas in our blog). Our bathroom remodeling services ensure modern comfort with touches like floating vanities or terrazzo floor tiles that complement the Eichler aesthetic.

• Flooring Upgrades: The original Eichler floors were often concrete slab (with radiant heat) or modest vinyl tiles. We update flooring to both improve comfort and style. Options include polished concrete, large-format terrazzo, or engineered hardwood that matches mid-century style. (If you’re exploring choices, our blog covers different flooring types to consider and the best flooring options for Eichler homes which address issues like working with radiant heat and slab foundation.) We also handle flooring with proper insulation and vapor barriers to avoid moisture issues on slab foundations.

• Interior & Exterior Painting: A fresh coat of paint can rejuvenate an Eichler – inside and out. Our painting services use high-quality, period-appropriate color palettes. We can refinish interior wood paneling with stains or paint while highlighting the natural wood grain, or paint drywall surfaces with the bold accent colors Eichlers are known for (like the classic bright orange front door!). For exteriors, we are adept at the two-tone Eichler color schemes that accentuate architectural lines. If you’re unsure about colors, see our tips on choosing paint colors for Eichler homes for guidance on modern palettes that honor the vintage vibe.

• Siding Repair & Installation: Preserving the iconic Eichler exterior often means working with wood siding. We offer full siding installation services, from repairing sections of dry-rot damaged siding to re-siding an entire home with materials that match the original look. Our team knows the importance of maintaining the clean lines of Eichler facades – we use flush vertical siding panels and conceal seams just as in the original construction. We can also upgrade to more durable siding materials (like cementitious panels) if desired, all while keeping the same appearance. For more on siding projects, see installing siding on a house which includes advice relevant to mid-century homes.

• Drywall & Insulation: Many early Eichlers have little to no insulation in the walls, and some interiors still feature original mahogany paneling. If walls are opened during the remodel, we add insulation to improve energy performance. Our drywall and insulation services also include replacing or skim-coating old drywall ceilings/walls (in areas where paneling isn’t present) to create a smooth finish. We take care to protect or restore any vintage paneling removed during construction (see Eichler paneling restoration tips for how we handle those details). The result is a more comfortable home that still feels authentic.

• Room Additions & ADUs: Need more space? We are experts at designing room additions that blend with your Eichler’s architecture – whether it’s expanding the master suite or adding a new bedroom wing. We align rooflines, use matching materials, and maintain the indoor-outdoor flow so your addition looks like an original part of the house. (Our blog on building an Eichler home addition – design tips explains key considerations like maintaining the post-and-beam module and extending the slab.) We also specialize in ADU construction for Eichlers, such as converting an existing Eichler carport into a garage or studio or building a detached accessory dwelling that complements the main house (garage-to-ADU conversions are increasingly popular for additional space or rental income). Every addition is engineered and built to today’s codes while harmonizing with the classic Eichler style.

• Hardscape & Exterior Improvements: To complete your Eichler remodel, we can upgrade exterior features like driveways, patios, and landscaping. Our driveway services include pouring new concrete driveways or concrete pavers in styles that suit mid-century modern homes (clean lines, aggregate finishes, etc.). We also work with landscape designers to refresh atriums and backyards – since Eichlers center around these spaces, elements like Eichler home landscaping (bamboo, succulents, minimalist plantings, etc.) and iconic breezeways and entry courtyards are all considered. We ensure that any new fences or exterior structures follow Eichler neighborhood guidelines (for instance, see choosing the right Eichler fence for privacy and period accuracy for ideas on fence styles that match). From entryway upgrades (like a modern pivot door in the original courtyard entry) to creating an inviting patio, we deliver a complete transformation.

• Eichler Home Restoration: In addition to planned remodels, we also handle home restoration for Eichlers that have suffered damage or prolonged neglect. Our team has experience restoring Eichlers after incidents like fires or floods – for example, see our project on Daves Ave renovation after fire & flood where we rebuilt a damaged Eichler to its former glory. We can address structural repairs, smoke/water remediation, and then fully remodel the interior with a fresh design. Even if your Eichler is in rough shape, we have the know-how to restore and remodel it so it feels brand new while retaining its original spirit.

From foundation to flat roof, our team is equipped to remake your Eichler home to fit your needs. We coordinate every trade – concrete, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, roofing – with an understanding of how an Eichler is constructed, avoiding any missteps that could harm the home’s integrity. With GMJ, you get peace of mind that your remodel is in the hands of Eichler experts.

Sunnyvale Eichler Remodeling Projects & Portfolio

Nothing speaks louder than real-world results. We’re proud to have transformed numerous Eichler homes in Sunnyvale and neighboring areas. Here are a few featured Eichler remodeling projects by GMJ Construction:

• Alison Way, Sunnyvale – Eichler Remodel: This project was a full Eichler remodeling in Sunnyvale that updated a classic 4-bedroom Eichler while preserving its mid-century soul . We opened up the living area to the atrium by installing a modern kitchen with an oversized island and floor-to-ceiling glass facing the courtyard. Original ceiling beams were refinished and we added skylights to brighten the interior (see our blog on skylights for Eichler homes for why this is a great update). The bathrooms were completely redesigned with sleek fixtures and we expanded the master bath by borrowing space from an adjacent closet. The result is a light-filled, contemporary home that still exudes 1960s modernism. (View Project)

• Duane Ave, Sunnyvale – Whole Home Reinvention: In this Sunnyvale home on Duane Avenue, what began as a simple remodel turned into a total reinvention of an Eichler (the homeowners wanted to significantly reconfigure the layout). We collaborated on a new open-concept floor plan, relocating the kitchen and removing some interior walls to create better flow. A room addition was added at the rear to enlarge the living space, which we seamlessly integrated with the existing architecture. We also upgraded the insulation and HVAC for comfort (without adding any visible ductwork, using techniques from our heating & cooling Eichler homes playbook). Finishing touches included modern tile flooring throughout and a fresh exterior paint scheme that accents the home’s geometry. (View Project)

• Carlson Cir – Full Eichler Renovation: This was a full Eichler home renovation on Carlson Circle in the South Bay. The house had its original single-pane windows and much of the original fixtures. We undertook a studs-out renovation: installing double-pane window walls, upgrading to new foam roofing, and remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms entirely. One highlight was the restoration of the signature Eichler wood paneling in the living room – we sourced matching mahogany and applied the same stain to blend new with old. Exterior siding was replaced where needed and we built a modern trellis in the atrium to provide dappled shade. The project exemplifies how one can bring an older Eichler up to modern standards of luxury and efficiency without losing the Eichler vibe. (View Project)

• Recent Eichler Upgrades in Sunnyvale: We also undertake focused upgrade projects. For instance, our team recently completed a Sunnyvale Eichler window wall upgrade that dramatically improved the home’s comfort and energy efficiency. By replacing a deteriorating old glass wall with a new high-performance window system, the homeowners noticed reduced drafts and outside noise, while the look of the house remained classic (read the full story in Sunnyvale Eichler window wall upgrade doubled comfort on our blog). In another home, we did an Eichler atrium conversion – partially enclosing the atrium to create a expanded dining area, with large operable skylights to maintain an open-air feel (see converting Eichler atriums into livable space for ideas on this popular modification). No matter the size of the project, we approach each Eichler with the same level of care and craftsmanship.

These are just a few examples – be sure to browse our Project Gallery for more Eichler before-and-after inspiration. We’ve worked on Eichler homes all over the Bay Area, from Mountain View and Santa Clara to Los Altos and Menlo Park. Each remodel is customized to the client’s needs and the home’s context, but all share that unmistakable Eichler charm combined with fresh, quality upgrades.

(If you’re looking for fresh ideas, check out our blog post “Eichler remodel before & after inspiration” which showcases how thoughtful renovations can revitalize these homes while staying true to their roots.)

The Eichler Remodeling Process

We understand that embarking on a home remodel can feel overwhelming. At GMJ, we strive to make the process transparent and stress-free. When you engage us for a Sunnyvale Eichler remodel, here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: We start with a meeting at your home to discuss your vision, needs, and budget. Our team listens carefully and also conducts an assessment of your Eichler – noting its current condition, layout, and any specific challenges (like an aging roof or code issues). We’ll share our initial ideas and explain how we approach Eichler projects. (Tip: It helps to prioritize a wish list; see our article on how to plan a kitchen remodel in the Bay Area for some planning insights that apply to whole-home projects too.)

2. Design & Planning: Next, we move into the design phase. This includes detailed measurements, drafting floor plan options, and selecting materials/finishes. Our design experts craft solutions that improve functionality while honoring the Eichler aesthetic. We may create 3D renderings or mood boards to help you visualize changes. During this phase we also address structural engineering (especially for tasks like removing walls or adding beams) and handle all necessary permits with the City of Sunnyvale. Because we’re experienced with local Eichler guidelines, our plans sail through the approval process smoothly. (For more on the importance of planning, see how to make a construction plan – we follow a meticulous planning checklist for every project.)

3. Budget & Schedule Approval: We provide a detailed scope of work, cost breakdown, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what to expect. Once everything is approved, we help you prepare for construction (for example, advising on temporary living arrangements if needed, and securing the job site to protect that gorgeous glass during work).

4. Construction Phase: Now the exciting transformation begins. Our skilled crew and project manager will be on-site to execute the remodel to the highest standard. We start with any necessary demolition (e.g. removing old cabinets, flooring, or even tearing down walls as planned). We then address structural work first – such as upgrading plumbing or electrical lines (common in Eichlers to re-route for new layouts), reinforcing framing, or pouring new concrete for additions. Next comes building the new elements: framing new walls or room additions, installing windows and doors, insulating and closing up walls, installing cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes. Throughout construction, we keep the site clean and safe. We also coordinate any specialty work like custom built-in cabinetry or millwork to match mid-century style (great for maximizing storage in an Eichler – see maximizing Eichler storage with built-ins for ideas we often implement). Our team maintains consistent communication with you, providing updates as each milestone is reached.

5. Quality Finishes & Details: As we near completion, it’s all about the details that truly make your remodel shine. We paint, tile, install flooring, and finish all carpentry with a meticulous eye – ensuring that beam you wanted to feature is beautifully stained, or that the new terrazzo shower pan is flawless. We walk through the home with you to create a punch-list and address any final touches. Our goal is to have everything perfect, from the way cabinet doors align to the restoration of any mid-century features we preserved.

6. Final Reveal & Follow-Up: Finally, we unveil your beautifully remodeled Eichler! We do a thorough final walkthrough with you to ensure you are delighted with the results. We’ll familiarize you with any new systems (like how to operate your mini-split AC or smart home features if installed – see our Eichler smart home integration guide for some of the tech upgrades we can include). Even after we pack up the tools, our service doesn’t end – we provide a warranty on our work and remain available for any questions or support you need. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we love seeing homeowners fall in love with their “new” Eichler all over again.

Throughout this process, communication and quality control are key. We handle all the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively), so you can enjoy watching your vision come to life, knowing every detail is taken care of by professionals who respect your home.

Preserving Eichler Character While Embracing Modern Living

A successful Eichler remodel is a careful balancing act: retain the timeless design DNA of the home, yet introduce modern amenities and style for today’s lifestyle. GMJ Construction excels at finding that balance. We believe in “modernizing, not marginalizing” your Eichler’s character.

On the preservation side, we make a point of highlighting what makes your Eichler special. That could mean refurbishing original globe pendant lights, keeping the indoor planters in the atrium, or restoring the iconic mahogany wall panels in your living room. We also pay homage to mid-century design in any new elements we add. For instance, when we build cabinetry or room additions, we favor the clean lines, flat panels, and minimal ornamentation characteristic of Eichler’s era. When selecting finishes, we might choose materials like natural wood, stone, or terrazzo that were popular in mid-century homes (as noted in our modernize your Eichler home without losing mid-century charm guide, where one tip is to opt for quality natural materials that age gracefully). We even advise on interior design aspects if you need guidance – from period-appropriate lighting fixtures to suggestions for Eichler-friendly furniture layouts (see our category on interior design for inspiration such as designing Eichler bedrooms or creating multi-functional spaces like a home office within an Eichler’s open layout).

At the same time, we embrace modern improvements that enhance comfort, safety, and enjoyment of your home. As mentioned, we incorporate energy-efficient upgrades for Eichler homes – like better insulation, radiant floor heating fixes, modern climate control, and solar energy – to drastically improve performance while cutting utility costs. We can integrate smart home technology (lighting controls, smart thermostats, security systems) that make daily life easier; our Eichler smart home integration guide covers how these technologies can be added discreetly in mid-century homes. We also consider aging-in-place or accessibility upgrades if needed (for example, curbless showers, better lighting, or even an Eichler home fire safety upgrade like adding modern smoke detectors and fire sprinklers). None of these enhancements detract from the look of the home – in fact, many Eichler owners find that a respectful remodel can increase their home’s value and extend its lifespan without sacrificing its soul.

Crucially, we understand the open-plan lifestyle that Eichler homes embody. Modern living has actually caught up with Eichler’s once-radical idea of open living spaces and indoor-outdoor flow. Our remodels amplify this by removing unnecessary partitions and using consistent flooring from indoors to patio to make spaces feel larger. In smaller Eichler models, we employ tricks to maximize space (refer to Eichler homes: maximizing small spaces with open layout design for some clever ideas we often utilize). The end goal is a home that feels brighter, more spacious, and perfectly suited to your needs – all while every visitor immediately recognizes it as an Eichler. We like to think Joseph Eichler himself would approve of the remodels we do, as we strive to keep his vision alive: affordable modernist homes updated for a new age.

Why Choose GMJ Construction for Your Eichler Remodel?

When it comes to Eichler home remodeling in Sunnyvale, you want a contractor who truly “gets” these homes – and has the portfolio to prove it. GMJ Construction stands out as the top choice for several reasons:

• Eichler Expertise: We have years of experience remodeling Eichler and mid-century modern homes. Our team knows the ins and outs of Eichler construction – from the post-and-beam structure to the quirks of the original materials. This expertise means we do things right the first time, protecting the architectural integrity of your home. (Not all contractors understand that you can’t just punch a hole anywhere in an Eichler’s ceiling or that relocating an exterior wall of glass requires special engineering – but we do!) Our know-how is also documented; we’ve published numerous resources on Eichler renovations (see our Eichler renovation contractor Bay Area guide to learn what to look for in an Eichler-savvy contractor). Simply put, Eichler homes are our passion, not a sideline.

• Design-Builder Approach: As a design-build firm, we handle both the creative design and the construction execution. This integrated approach is ideal for Eichler remodels where thoughtful design is paramount. Our architects work hand-in-hand with our construction team, so there’s no disconnect between the Eichler-inspired plans and the on-site work. It also streamlines the project for you – one contract, one cohesive team from start to finish. We take full accountability for the project’s success, and our collaborative process often uncovers the best solutions (for example, our designer might suggest a built-in bookcase as a room divider, and our carpenter will ensure it’s flawlessly built and installed). The result is a smooth remodeling experience with unified vision.

• Quality Craftsmanship: We are committed to the highest quality workmanship. Remodeling an Eichler requires a certain finesse – you often have to marry new with old (like fitting new cabinets against an existing ceiling beam, or floating new drywall alongside original paneled walls). Our craftsmen have the attention to detail and pride in their work to achieve beautiful results in these scenarios. We also use premium materials and proven techniques so that your remodel stands the test of time. We don’t cut corners; from precise carpentry to durable finishes, quality is evident in every aspect of our projects. Many of our Eichler renovation projects have been featured in our gallery precisely because the craftsmanship shines through.

• Transparent Communication: We prioritize clear, honest communication. Home remodeling is a partnership, and we value your input at every stage. Our project managers provide regular updates and are always reachable for any questions or ideas you want to discuss. We also handle all the coordination with subcontractors, inspectors, and vendors behind the scenes, saving you the headache. Our many satisfied clients often commend our team’s professionalism and responsiveness – traits we bring to each new project.

• Local Sunnyvale Knowledge: Being based in the Bay Area, we’re very familiar with Sunnyvale and surrounding communities. We understand local regulations, permit processes, and the specific desires of Bay Area homeowners. In Sunnyvale’s Eichler neighborhoods, we know what’s customary and what to avoid (for instance, how to design an addition that won’t run afoul of the single-story zoning some Eichler tracts have). Our local roots also mean we can recommend neighborhood-appropriate solutions and even expedite procurement of materials from nearby suppliers. We’ve built a network of trusted vendors and suppliers for specialty items like custom Eichler windows, period-style wood siding, and other finishes – ensuring you get authentic results with minimal delays.

• Trusted Track Record: Above all, our work speaks for itself. We encourage you to read testimonials from our happy homeowners and to view our completed projects. We’ve helped many Eichler owners fall in love with their homes all over again. As a licensed and insured general contractor in California, we deliver professionalism and reliability. We finish projects on schedule and on budget, and we stand by our work with a solid warranty. Our goal is to not just meet but exceed your expectations.
