SMALL PROJECTS

You may have a vital home improvement project that may be too complex for a handyperson and, in your mind, falls short of something a general contractor is willing to take on. We complete many small projects each year for our customers that usually meet the following criteria:
- The project requires plans and a permit.
- The project is too complicated for a handyperson.
- The project is multi-faceted and requires more than one tradesperson to accomplish.
- You are concerned about quality and aesthetics and want to ensure the outcome meets your standards.
- The project lends itself to a turnkey solution.
Fiat-Inspired Eichler: A Modern Masterpiece
Sunnyvale
This 1962 California Modern Eichler received a stunning exterior update, meticulously designed to boost curb appeal while preserving its architectural integrity and iconic Mid-Century charm.
Our collaboration with the client focused on two key goals:
Elevating Aesthetics: Transform the home’s exterior into a more captivating and visually striking facade.
Enhancing Functionality: Eliminate the restrictive garage door center post and replace the existing garage door with a sleek, modern door for effortless parking.
Working closely with the planning department, we secured all necessary approvals to make exterior updates to the home. To achieve a structurally sound, post-free garage opening, we engineered the space by encasing the original beam in steel. We then installed a low-maintenance, ebony aluminum, and tempered glass garage door, which dramatically enhances the home’s classic Eichler architecture.
Drawing inspiration from the owner’s vibrant, vintage school bus-yellow Fiat, we custom-matched the front door’s paint to the car – a bold nod to Eichler’s signature bright front doors. This cheerful yellow was also applied to the new trim above the garage door, subtly concealing the reinforcing steel and seamlessly integrating the modern updates with the home’s classic appeal.
We design and build dreams.
Projects we have completed include fireplace remodels, trellises, outdoor kitchens, garage interior remodels, skylights, plumbing and dry rot repairs, and resultant tile or fixture replacement.
