We’ve seen plenty of both, and more often than not, the real work (that brings the sighs of relief) begins much earlier with a few lines on a page and the comforting thought that you don’t need to tear everything apart to make things better. Here’s a note from us about this that might soothe the anxiety about your next project.

No one brags about waterproofing, but it’s the difference between a home that feels solid and one that’s quietly falling apart. In San Francisco’s fog and salt air, your siding & exterior construction does more than you may think Read More Bee Rasmussen 8/21/25 Bee Rasmussen 8/21/25 What Would Change if Your Home Began to Truly Sustain You? Our homes witness our quietest rituals; the cereal bowl left in the sink, the floorboard that gives away your steps, the sigh when you finally collapse at the end of the day. And yet, in a culture obsessed with speed and shortcuts, we’ve forgotten how much care our homes truly need. The question I keep circling back to is this: how do we return to living in ways that enrich us, sustainably? Because somewhere along the way, we traded durability for disposability, and our homes, and our lives, are asking us to choose differently.

Thinking about remodeling in San Francisco and wondering why the price tag feels... absurd? You’re not alone.

I talk to a lot of first-time homeowners who’ve just bought a fixer in San Francisco, and the story is almost always the same: the charm was undeniable, the deal felt right, and now they’re knee-deep in systems they didn’t know were failing. If that’s you; overwhelmed, discouraged, but still determined, you’re not alone. I wrote this to help you feel a little more prepared, a little more grounded, and a little less like you’re the only one figuring it out as you go.

In this recent project, our team transformed half of a standard San Francisco garage into a warm and practical addition—complete with a new entryway, foyer, bedroom, bathroom, and storage—all while maintaining a one-car garage. The result? A seamless extension of the home that feels intentional, efficient, and built to last.

They dreamed of a space where they could work side by side—no more squeezing past each other or fighting for counter space. With a smart new layout, added storage, and a stunning skylight, this kitchen remodel brought their vision to life.

The remodel began at the height of COVID, during a time when the world stood still and San Francisco felt suspended. The home had been through years of delays, and the client came to us with a clear vision: to bring life, warmth, and meaning back into a space long held in limbo. That intention set the tone. Inspired by San Francisco artists like Koak, Dorothea Lange, and Ruth Asawa, the client imagined a space with a defined energy; soft, soulful, and deeply human. We sought to weave the old with the new, allowing history to echo gently through a modern renovation. “This project, to say the least, has been a bit depressing due to all the problems that have gone on for years now... In such an environment, it seems appropriate to create a home in which the hand worked object is celebrated.” - From the Client 29th Street This project began with a familiar dilemma: a too-small bathroom that couldn’t keep up with a growing family’s rhythms. With no tub for the kids, an awkward vanity tucked under two windows, and routines colliding in a single shared space, the design challenge was layered with real-life urgency. The parents wanted more than just function, they wanted a space that could grow with their children, honor their tech-forward lifestyle, and still feel elevated. So we reimagined everything. We carved space for a new tub, made room for movement, and solved the mirror mystery with smart, adjustable solutions. Dual shower niches future-proofed the layout, while swinging glass panels brought ease to nightly bath routines. And in a playful nod to the family’s personality, binary code tiles spelled out a secret message; tech-savvy, whimsical, and entirely their own. The result is a bathroom that doesn’t just meet the moment but evolves with it. “The binary code tile was a special touch that really reflects the family’s personality. It’s subtle, but it adds a layer of meaning and creativity to the bathroom.” - From the Designer Clarendon Avenue Perched high in Clarendon Heights, this full-home remodel reimagined the kitchen and four bathrooms with sleek intention and sculptural beauty. A once-underutilized closet now houses a temperature-controlled wine cellar, an elegant surprise tucked behind custom millwork. In the kitchen, we restructured the layout to frame sweeping city views from the new peninsula sink, anchoring the space with high-gloss Italian cabinetry and marble quartz countertops that cascade into waterfall edges. The primary bath is a true retreat: a generous steam shower built for two, a freestanding soaking tub, and a custom double vanity all speak to everyday luxury. Throughout the guest bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling tile and floating vanities amplify light and space, offering a serene, gallery-like feel. Clean lines, precise craftsmanship, and a focus on flow bring cohesion to this sophisticated San Francisco home. “We discovered some unexpected voids behind the walls and decided to turn that dead space into hidden storage. It’s one of those quiet luxuries; seamless to the eye, but incredibly useful in everyday life.

San Francisco, CA  FAQs How does the design and build process work? Our Design + Build approach means you work with one cohesive team from start to finish. We handle everything from design and permits to construction, ensuring a smooth and efficient remodeling experience. This integrated process helps reduce miscommunications and speeds up project timelines. What will my remodel cost? Remodel costs can vary significantly depending on the scope, the condition of your home, and your material choices. Since market values fluctuate, it’s tough to give an exact number without first understanding your wants/needs and conducting a feasibility study, assessing what’s behind your walls. However, opting for a design-build approach helps you better control your budget. Unlike traditional remodeling, where you might spend $40,000+ on architectural plans before even bidding out the project to contractors, our design and project development phase covers all the conceptual, schematic, and design work, poising your project for the build. Plus, our designers are consulting with our expert builders through the entire phase to ensure that the plans are buildable, and that you get exactly what you want. This work that occurs over about 3 months is covered by a flat retainer fee upfront. Once we’ve developed a close, realistic budget at the end of the phase, you still have the option to decide whether you want to proceed with the build based on that budget. How much does a kitchen or bathroom remodel typically cost in San Francisco? Kitchen and bathroom remodels in San Francisco are heavily influenced by market trends and the unique challenges of working in older homes. While it’s difficult to pin down a realistic cost before a feasibility study and understanding your vision, we can tell you that kitchen remodels in the city rarely start below $120,000 (for the ENTIRE project, design, permitting, materials and products, and labor) and go up from there. To get a realistic idea of your potential costs, we always recommend an initial in-home consultation with us to discuss the specific needs of your home! What should I expect during the initial consultation? During our initial phone call, we'll get to know your project needs and goals. If we’re a good match, we’ll schedule a site visit with our designer, and build expert to discuss your project in detail, talk about the feasible build options based on your homes current conditions, and give you transparent, realistic budget information.

Reimagining San Francisco homes from the inside out. We blend preservation and modern livability to create homes that feel cohesive, enduring, and deeply personal. Whole-Home Remodeling Designed to belong, not be added on. We create kitchens and baths that honor a home’s structure and character; functional, enduring, and quietly timeless. Kitchens + Baths Ground-Level Buildouts + Additions Unlocking potential in the foundations of San Francisco homes; adding space, light, and value while addressing drainage, structure, and waterproofing with intention. Protecting homes from the outside in. We’re experts in waterproofing science, siding, stucco, foundation work, exterior stairs and roof decks that safeguard your home’s integrity while preserving its character. Exterior Preservation + Building Envelope Small Projects + Custom Details Not every remodel begins with a full set of plans, some start with a single, important need. Even the smallest projects deserve expert attention - especially in houses built a century ago. Specialists in San Francisco Homes. San Francisco homes are layered with history, complexity, and charm + They Demand a team fluent in all three. We’ve spent decades learning this city from the inside out; how Victorians breathe, how stucco facades withstand the fog, how foundations are impacted by the soil of where they sit geographically on the Peninsula. Our focus allows us to deliver an uncommon level of precision, care, and attunement to the details and conditions that make San Francisco homes so unique. Thoughtful Work At Every Scale Big or small, every San Francisco project deserves expertise. In San Francisco’s older homes, there’s rarely such thing as a “simple” project. A new kitchen will likely reveal original framing, a single bathroom could depend on outdated plumbing, and wanting to add square footage to your home will give you a closer look at a century-old foundation. That’s why we approach every remodel, whether it’s a single space or an entire home, with the same depth of care, craftsmanship, and technical fluency.

Bill was a steady force and a generous presence; someone who showed up with deep integrity, humor, and an unwavering commitment to doing right by people. He believed in taking care of the people around him; whether that meant mentoring a young carpenter, advocating for a client, or finding solutions no one else could see.
