Areas of Specialization
While we offer a full range of construction services, we have developed specialized expertise in key areas including installation of an innovative insulation product called Airkrete.
Airkrete Insulation
Green, non-toxic, fireproof insulation that prevents flame spread while offering a high R value for excellent thermal resistance.
Exteriors - Siding, Windows & Doors
State-of-the-art materials and installation techniques for superior aesthetics, durability and energy-efficiency.
Seismic Retrofits
Analysis and modifications to strengthen structures and increase resistance to damage from earthquakes.
Waterproofing & Moisture Control
Advanced solutions for durable buildings designed to manage external water penetration, water vapor, and air flow
Airkrete - Green fireproof insulation
Airkrete is a green insulation product that is non-toxic and fireproof. Along with its exceptional properties for insulating and fireproofing your home without harmful toxins or off-gassing, Airkrete is mold proof, pest proof, and provides excellent sound proofing.
The basic raw materials components of AirKrete are air, water, talc, and MGO cement. During installation it has the consistency of shaving cream as a light, cementitious foam. After it cures, AirKrete is an ultra lightweight concrete that is long-lasting with high insulation value.
We are excited about Airkrete as a superior insulation material and its potential for reducing the climate impact of home building while mitigating the risks of climate change for homeowners. Especially with the heightened risk of wildfires in California, we think AirKrete offers homeowners an incredible opportunity to protect property and save lives.
Fireproof
Airkrete simply does not burn, preventing flame spread throughout the structure, protecting loved ones and valuable property
Captures CO2
With the amazing property that it binds CO2, Airkrete captures more CO2 than it takes to produce it
Non-toxic
Made of air, water, talc, and MGO cement, no off-gassing, it involves water-only clean-up, and it is actually edible
Sound Proofing
For some, sound-proofing is the primary reason for installation. It was installed in Neil Young’s recording studio!
Thermal Resistance
Fills all voids and blocks drafts for superior insulation performance compared to competitive products with the same R value
Pest and mold proof
Fills voids to keep pests out with properties that repel insects and prevent mold
