The question is not if we will have another earthquake but when and how hard - it will hit. Taking action now can literally mean the difference between life and death.

Homes bolted before the 1980's have special issues with products that were used then. Home owners need to verify if their home is braced and bolted and if so, is it still secure . If you notice the image above the bolt has rusted and is not going to provide the protection you will be counting on. Older techniques allowed moisture to seep in and corrode the metal.

Our properly trained construction crew can check your home for the above issue and others that can leave your home vulnerable to damage in an earthquake. While they are checking the foundation you may want them to check chimneys and other features of the home that can cause trouble.

Our office can set up an inspection for your bolts and other areas of your home that may need retrofit. Give us a call today: 707-257-2222

There are a variety of ways to add a window seat or reading nook to your home. We see this nice upgrade in living rooms but boot benches near an entrance and anywhere in-between are options.

A true bay window is also another design choice that adds real dimension to a room. Bookcases, drawers, nooks for baskets under and/or to the sides can be added where space permits. With molding, trim and heat registers to match the room, your new window seat will look like it was always part of the house.

Whether a long or short window unit, the extra seating is always welcome when you have guests. Cushions and pillows can match or accent your decor and with a soft throw it's now a coveted place to relax with a book.

We can make you an appointment for a design consultation to see where you can add this nice feature. Call 707-257-2222

Pocket doors can be an impressive architectural element that create a focal point in your home and offer space saving benefits. They expand your options for how you use the square footage in the adjoining rooms, for furniture placement, decor and privacy. During the design phase of the project your contractor will be able to lay out the options for you. Doors can be solid, frosted or clear glass or combinations of all. An example is in rooms with tall ceilings your door can be solid on the bottom and glass above to let in light - a good solution between a living and dining room. Solid doors can close off clutter between a laundry room and kitchen and add privacy to bath and dressing rooms.

This remodel option is best done by a qualified licensed contractor to make it a long-lasting, trouble-free installation. Modern doors come in many designs to blend into your current home design. Buying the best heavy duty hardware is recommended to allow your doors slide easily and quietly. A quality framing system will give your wall rigid and robust support. Choose a single door or elegant double doors for a wider opening.

Overall, pocket doors are a quality solution for the home. You can have pocket doors installed in your home during the remodel to be able to enjoy this unique door option for many years to come.
