Cozy & Comfortable Outdoor Living Spaces

If you are building, buying or remodeling a home in Southern California, tap into every square inch of your property. Warm weather and mild seasons allow us to create cozy, comfortable, outdoor living spaces. 

When we started framing 525 California St, everyone thought we were crazy for building a 12ft by 20ft front porch. During the framing process it felt really close to the street, but we knew once the landscaping and fence were in, it would be fine.

Don't ever under estimate a covered patio. While California seasons are mild and warm, if you live near the ocean, your furniture and outdoor upholstery can end up damp, wet and weathered.

There are many benefits to building a covered patio. Two of the most important reasons are the option of having inset patio heaters, and the ability to add character with hanging light fixtures.
