Home Repair & Construction in Orinda, CA

Orinda’s wooded hillside lots make drainage, foundation support, and deck work some of the most common projects homeowners ask us about.

Working on homes in Orinda

Many Orinda homes sit on sloped lots with clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. That seasonal movement, combined with winter runoff, can affect foundations, retaining walls, and drainage systems.

Large decks and exterior wood are also common here, and shade and moisture can lead to dry rot in framing and connections.

Common concerns for Orinda homeowners

  • Expansive soils

    Soil movement can contribute to foundation cracking and settlement, so conditions are evaluated on site.

  • Hillside drainage

    Subsurface drains and surface grading help direct water away from the house.

  • Decks and dry rot

    Shaded, damp areas are checked for rot in posts, joists, ledgers, and siding.
