Home Front Build

I had the most amazing experience working with Home Front Build for my home renovation project. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the very beginning of the project, they went above and beyond my expectations. One of the things that really stood out to me was how communicative and responsive they were throughout the entire process. They were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and kept me updated every step of the way, they made sure I felt fully informed and involved in the project.

My experience with Home Front Build and long project to restore our Victorian home. During the project Home Front engaged in the following work, all of which was completed in the most skilled of manners, with the highest of quality, and on or under budget: Design, engineering, and permitting for our foundation (8 feet off the ground it had to be completely re-engineered to be stable and yet retain a historic look. Demolition of decayed porch. They saved the lumber (old-growth redwood) and re-milled much of it to use later in repairs. Re-face concrete foundation with original arroyo stones Repoint existing stone work Repair and rehabilitate historic windows using historic-style glass (all our double-hung windows now operate smoothly and not one needed to be fully replaced) Adapt client-supplied historic doors to fit door openings Repair exterior carpentry Reconstruction of two porches exactly as in a historic photograph (using full-dimensional lumber, some of which was milled onsite) Strip old paint, including lead abatement Repaint with historic-style, natural-oil, natural-pigment-based paint using brushes NOT spray guns or rollers Match wood stain color in interior window and door trim Repair existing lathe-and-plaster interior walls using both smooth and sand finishes Paint interior rooms matching colors to original colors Remove roof and oversee replacement of roof with redwood shingles Oversee gutter installation Rebuild exterior stone retaining wall using original stones
