General Contractor in Sonoma County, CA

Rural parcels in Sonoma County in the State Responsibility Area require vegetation clearance of at least 100 feet from all structures, and ADU access roads must meet fire department apparatus standards. Foundation installation, concrete pouring, and utility connections are all part of the build. Parcels over one acre in the SRA also have specific fire protection water supply requirements that need to be addressed in the site plan.

Yes. Properties in high fire hazard severity zones and the State Responsibility Area face requirements around exterior materials, vegetation clearance, and fire department access. These conditions affect exterior finishing choices, ADU placement, and how foundation and concrete work gets planned on sloped or wooded lots. We account for these site conditions before work starts.

Mid-century and Victorian-era homes in Petaluma often have original plaster walls, galvanized plumbing supply lines, and framing that predates modern lumber sizing. Opening walls for a kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel frequently reveals plumbing that needs replacement before new fixtures can go in. Drywall installation replaces the plaster after any structural or plumbing work is complete.

Yes, but the process starts with demolition of any remaining debris or compromised structure, followed by foundation assessment or new foundation installation. Sonoma County created expedited processes for fire-affected properties, and the year a home was originally built can affect what code upgrades apply to the replacement or addition. We handle the full scope from site clearing through finished construction.
