San Marino Remodeling and Restoration
San Marino remodeling: window and plaster restoration, additions, kitchens, baths and garden rooms, with drawings prepared for the city's design review.
San Marino reviews exterior changes closely through its design review, so drawings matter as much as craft there. For a traditional or period house on a generous lot, we restore windows and plaster, remodel kitchens and baths, and add garden rooms or guest quarters, with careful attention to the original architecture and to what the reviewers will ask.
Restoration on a larger scale
Large period houses have many windows, long runs of plaster or siding and detailed trim, and they age unevenly. We survey the whole exterior, mark what can be repaired and what must be replaced, and present a plan that keeps the original look. Steel and wood windows can often be restored with new glazing and seals. Where replacement is needed, we match profiles and divided lights. Plaster is repaired by hand and finished to blend with the surrounding wall. Scaffolding is staged to protect gardens.
Guest quarters and garden rooms
A larger property may have space for guest quarters or a garden pavilion. These are designed to match the main house in roofline, materials and detail, with structure engineered for their spans. Inside the main house, kitchens and baths can be fully rebuilt with new systems. We prepare drawings and material samples for the city's design review, then build to the approved plans with the same line-by-line pricing as every project. Gardens and paths disturbed by the work are restored at the end.
What we take on in San Marino
