Giving new life.
We’re remodeling, reinvigorating, resuscitating, restoring, and giving new life to homes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Turning cabbages into castles! Northern California homeowners are moving up, not by switching zip codes, but, instead, by re-envisioning and upgrading home sweet home. The dreary’50s-era guest bathroom “before” throwback photo below – in […]
Kitchen teardown – back on trend.
Our Danville clients were ready to upgrade their claustrophobic’60s-era galley kitchen, sporting dark brown cabinets, poor lighting, orange linoleum floors and formica countertops. We kept the same footprint to meet budgetary constraints, but, otherwise, everything changed. Lighting, fixtures, cabinetry, flooring, appliances, partitions, color palette, feng shui.
Big ‘n Small.
We built this customized storage shed as an extra to the kitchen remodel: integrated, fully-insulated, air sealed and energy-upgraded.

The Monument Community First 5 Center provides […]
Police work.
Just the facts for the Healdsburg Police Station project: finished carpentry and cabinetry in the public and inmate receiving areas, construction details in the holding tank. Photographs were off limits, so all we can show you is the front entrance! Could be the prettiest police station in the Wine Country!
Pet friendly.
We love animals. When one of our clients asked us to find a way for their indoor cat Pip to spend quality time outdoors – without leaving the yard, we built a ramp and installed a Kitty Fence. Now Pip is one happy feline. Here is what Tom had to […]
Ready for resale.
To prepare this San Francisco condominium, built in 1906, for sale in August, we made subtle, pristine repairs to the elegant pied-à-terre. SOLD!
Water closet renovation.
WC upgraded with marble, paint, new fixtures and a classic ceramic Talavera sink, handcrafted and hand-painted in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico. Beckner Contracting works magic even in small spaces.
Mission District bike pulley system.
It’s so cool. A San Francisco architect with offices in the Mission, wanted to encourage biking to work. But floor space is at a premium, so he asked us to devise a bicycle pulley system to solve the problem. We figured it out. Some people call what we do “innovation”. […]
