Living history
This country was built in 1850. We keep it standing.
The Mother Lode isn't tract housing. Gold Rush brick storefronts, miners'-era Victorians, hand-built cabins under the pines — old buildings mean old plumbing, old wiring and old wood, and when water, fire or mold gets into them they deserve better than a tear-it-all-out crew. That's the work we love most.
Downtown & Main Street
Historic storefronts & brick
Sonora's Washington Street, Columbia, Jamestown — century-old brick and timber with aging pipes above and stone cellars below. Careful, surgical demolition, drying that spares original material, and documentation for the claim.
Victorian & mining-era
The old homes
Plaster walls, true-dimension lumber, millwork you can't buy anymore. We dry and restore original wood and plaster where it can be saved, cut only what can't, and rebuild so the repair belongs to the house.
Under the pines
Cabins & mountain homes
Twain Harte, Mi-Wuk, Arnold — cabins that sit empty for weeks while a pipe freezes or a roof leaks. We respond fast, handle it while you're away, work with your insurance, and ready the place for the next season.

Common questions
Do you handle wildfire and smoke damage?
Yes. Wildfire smoke and soot are a fact of life up here — we do professional smoke and soot removal, odor neutralization and full fire-damage restoration, documented for your insurance claim.
Can you help with a burst or frozen pipe at elevation?
Absolutely. Cold snaps in the higher towns like Twain Harte and Arnold burst pipes every winter. We respond 24/7, stop the water, dry the structure and repair the damage.
My cabin flooded while I was away — can you help?
Yes — undetected leaks in vacation homes and cabins are among the most common foothill jobs we handle. We can coordinate access, mitigate the damage and keep you updated remotely throughout.
Can you work on older and historic buildings?
Yes — it's some of our favorite work. Gold Rush-era brick, Victorian plaster, true-dimension lumber: old structures need careful, surgical demolition and drying that protects the original material. We restore what can be saved, rebuild what can't, and document everything.
What should I do while I wait for you to arrive?
Stay safe first — don't enter areas with structural, electrical or standing-water hazards. If it's safe, shut off the water source or power to affected areas and take photos for your records. We'll handle the rest when we arrive.
