Most homeowners have houses that were built for another family and another era—many California homes are at least 40 years old. Time has taken its toll on the roof, siding, surfaces, and systems. These houses need repair and, in some cases, major improvements or add-ons.

For many types of repairs and home improvements, hiring a qualified contractor or professional is the best route. The trick is to find a good, honest, competent pro in the San Francisco Bay area. For this, you can use the contractor finder service that we offer here—this is a great way to get matched with local contractors who have been vetted and prescreened.
