§ 02 — What we build

SEVEN TRADES.
ONE CREW.

We do the heavy stuff and the finish work, so projects don't get handed off six times. If we're not the right crew for a job, we'll tell you straight and point you to who is.

01
Landscaping & Retaining Walls

Terracing, regrading, river-rock and engineered block walls. Built to hold the hill back through every winter.

02
Fencing

Cedar privacy, post-and-rail, deer fence, gates that latch right the first time and the tenth.

03
Roofing

Asphalt, standing-seam metal, cedar shake. Tear-offs, re-roofs, and the trims you actually see.

04
Concrete & Foundations

Footings, slabs, stamped patios, driveways. Forms set straight, pours timed around the rain.

05
Framing

Stick-frame for additions, garages, second storeys. Square, plumb, level. Sheathed before it pours.

06
Decking

Cedar, composite, rooftop. Engineered for the wet coast and built for the long sit.

07
Sheds, Shops & Gazebos

From a tidy garden shed to a heated 24×32 working shop. Foundation through finished interior.

Don't see it? We probably do that too.

Outdoor kitchens, hot-tub pads, drainage fixes, demo & haul-away — call and ask.

"
Showed up when they said they would, cleaned up at the end of every day, and the deck looks like it grew there.
"
Had three quotes for the foundation. First Stop wasn't the cheapest, but the crew clearly knew what they were doing.
"
Honest about what was going to be a headache and what wasn't. Roof's been bone dry through two winters now.
