What we do here

The East Bay mixes Class-A offices, biotech environments, and high-end residential — we cover all three.

01

Commercial Offices

Oakland · Emeryville · Walnut Creek

Motorized roller and solar shades for Oakland's Uptown, Jack London Square, and Broadway Corridor build-outs, Emeryville's open-plan creative and tech offices, and Walnut Creek's suburban office parks — large-format systems tuned for west-facing Bay views, handled start to finish.

02

Biotech & Lab Shading

Berkeley · Fremont · Newark

Precision blackout and solar shading for UC Berkeley-adjacent research buildings, Gilman District biotech, and the Fremont–Newark life-sciences corridor — sealed-cassette systems with full specification and submittal documentation.

03

Residential Motorization

Berkeley Hills · Alameda · Tri-Valley

Whole-home motorized shades for high-end East Bay residences — Lutron and Somfy automation, child-safe cordless systems, and multi-family and mixed-use programs delivered with phased scheduling and single-source accountability.

04

Glare, Heat & Retrofit

East Bay wide

Solar shades with GREENGUARD Gold-certified fabrics and Title 24 documentation for new work — plus motor replacement, fabric re-rolling, and full shade-system upgrades that extend the life of older East Bay commercial buildings.

California Energy Code

SHGC and U-factor documentation available for every East Bay project — prepared for plan check and final inspection, not bolted on afterward.

AB 2263

Cordless and motorized systems compliant with California's window-covering safety law — standard on every residential and multi-family spec.

NFPA 701

Low-emission fabrics

Solar shades with GREENGUARD Gold-certified fabrics — a fit for the East Bay's sustainability-minded owners and LEED-tracked projects.

How it runs

One accountable team from measure to maintenance — no delegating to unqualified subs, no cross-bay excuses.

Step 1: Site Visit & Measure

A crew crosses the bridge, walks the site, and measures every opening ourselves — Oakland high-rise or Livermore residence.

Step 2: Specification & Quote

System, fabric, and control recommendations with accurate pricing — plus Title 24 and fire-cert documentation where the project needs it.

Step 3: Fabrication

Built to verified field dimensions at our own San Francisco facility, with QC on every motor and cassette before it ships east.

Step 4: Installation

Phased, scheduled, and coordinated with your GC, designer, or facility team — after-hours crews when the building demands it.

Step 5: Service & Retrofit

Motor replacement, fabric re-rolling, and system upgrades for the life of the installation — priority response, East Bay-wide.
