This is one of several custom made gates for a Tuscan Villa style home in Newport Beach, CA. Dynamic Garage Door worked closely with the proud homeowners to achieve a rustic style gate that transmitted the essence of Tuscany's rugged riviera homes. The gates features world-class European hardware including mortise style locks with roller catches and decorative iron pulls that feel authentic to the touch because they were made much in the same way tradition has dictated for centuries.
The goal was to achieve an architectural gate design that would harmonize, not compete, with the home's earthy elements including the rock walls and neutrally toned color scheme. We chose oak as our reclaimed barn wood species for its brown tones that differ from your typical pine species which give you a silver appearance. Oak give off a warmer, brown coloration that is closer to the tonalities found in Tuscan homes.
Nothing gives is more impressive than reclaimed bar wood gates because of the unique lumber characteristics that were given by mother nature over decades and centuries, nothing that can be achieved over night. Dynamic Garage Door craftsmen are highly skilled in preserving these lumber surfaces and keeping them intact. We developed designs and techniques that keep each piece authentic and true to its charming age. Just like wine, reclaimed wood will get better and better over the ageless decades and centuries to come. There is literally no maintenance on our reclaimed wood gates because each passing year is a new layer of gorgeous character that will pass the test of time over and over again!
As an added bonus and value to our already high-end gate designs, we craft each one of our gates on galvanized steel frames which will ensure our gorgeous gates will not only look fabulous but last a lifetime!

Capturing the critical importance of EMF testing, this professional photo showcases a certified inspector using a state-of-the-art EMF meter to measure dirty electricity levels near a home's electrical panel. The meter's digital display glows with clear numerical readings, while the inspector's careful positioning demonstrates proper testing technique for accurate measurements.
Dirty electricity testing is crucial for modern homes because:
Poor power quality can affect both human health and electronic equipment performance. When your home's electrical system carries microsurges and voltage spikes (dirty electricity), it can contribute to headaches, fatigue, and sleep issues. Additionally, sensitive electronics may malfunction or have shortened lifespans when exposed to poor power quality.
Dirty electricity often stems from modern devices like LED lights, smart appliances, solar inverters, and dimmer switches. These technologies, while energy-efficient, can create electrical noise that travels throughout your home's wiring. Professional testing helps identify problematic areas and guides targeted solutions like whole-house filters or circuit-specific interventions.
For families concerned about creating a truly healthy home environment, dirty electricity testing is an essential but often overlooked assessment. Our comprehensive testing services help identify EMF hotspots and power quality issues, allowing us to recommend effective mitigation strategies for a cleaner electrical environment.

This exterior landing was one of the beta tests for a brand new treatment of concrete. The Rockview Interior floor was where Tom Ralston Concrete developed a special technique to fashion concrete to look like ocean shelves and craggy ocean cliffs. Because of its fanfare the Rockview House has been used again and again for Architectural Tours as well as being used to host special events. The Rockview concrete won a National Award for best specialty finish in Las Vegas at the World of Concrete in 2011. The floors are a unique blend of aquarium sand, beach glass, sea shells, and multiple acid stains. The National recognition from the Rockview project served to bring international work to Tom Ralston Concrete. Similar floors were constructed by Tom Ralston Concrete in Boca Del Toro, a small island off the coast of Panama on the Caribbean Sea.

The cost of kitchen cabinets is a major consideration when designing a new kitchen. There are so many things that need to be evaluated including the materials, the color and finish. What most kitchen designers don't mention are all of the issues relating to the fit and use of your new cabinets. At Performance Kitchens & Home, our roots come from fine craftspeople like George Nakashima and George Brauntrager, who pioneered many of the techniques that we integrate into our kitchen cabinets.
We believe that every kitchen deserves cabinets that are beautiful, well-built, functional and that are designed to stand up to the test of time. We hope that some of these finely crafted kitchen cabinets will spark some ideas for you!

Under our client’s encouragement and desire for a near zero-energy design, this hybrid home is a skillful integration of modern architecture and sustainable building science.
The design weaves natural materials and clean visual detailing to achieve an organic modern aesthetic while applying OVE (Optimum Value Engineering) framing techniques, insulation over the sheathing, sprayed foam insulation, and blower door testing to construct a tight building envelope, thus minimizing energy impact.
The building systems include passive solar design, directionally tuned glazing, high efficiency multi-zoned radiant heat, EPA approved biomass heat, and solar thermal / photovoltaic panels for energy generation.
The result is a beautiful, near zero-energy urban home.
