One of the newer trends that looks like it is here to stay is the female version of the “Man Cave” better known as the “She Shed”.

It is an outdoor shed or room specially designed to house a personal space for Mom to get away from the crowd and pursue her hobbies and dreams. Room to write that novel, scrapbook, practice music, paint or read. That is the beauty of it - you decide what activities to embrace and have it built to suit. You can even stock it with party supplies for a girls’ night out - without going out! How about adding a little patio or deck out front and you have a BBQ area for the gang?

Alpine Construction can advise you on what we can do to remodel your current garden shed or build from scratch a new “She Shed”. For your appointment call: 707-257-2222

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.

When you have a view like this you need a great deck to enjoy it. We build custom decks, designed around your home, to accentuate your outdoor view, and landscaping. Do you want it to wrap around your home or pool? It is all up to you.

A deck in California, especially Napa, is truly an outdoor room. It extends the indoor living space and invites you to step outside and relax. Working from home? - no better place to be than a quiet deck, with your coffee, a laptop, wifi and you are good to go.

Decks can be ground level, extend over something like a landscape feature or from a second story. Multi level decks can add interest and solve design problems when your site has a variation in elevation. We will get the design on paper for you and work out the details so your installation is smooth and worry free too.
