01

Hardwood is the spec.

Cumaru, Ipe, and Garapa outlast cedar three-to-one in LA's climate. We build with the woods that survive salt air, summer UV, and irrigation overspray for two decades, not five years.

02

HOA submission is included.

We've handled architectural review for hundreds of LA neighborhoods. Your committee gets submission-grade drawings, material samples, and elevations as part of the proposal — at no extra cost.

03

Lifetime warranty in writing.

If a board cups, a post leans, or a hinge fails, we fix it on our dime. No diagnostic fee, no fine print, for as long as you own the home.
