Company Overview

We have crafted the insurability plan tailored for the SF market regarding K&T wiring retrofits, taking into account both the historic regulations, current building codes, and different insurance criteria. Our expertise of the present situation of insurers and the landscape is unmatched.

When you work with our team, we promise that you can secure the essential insurance by managing all necessary inspections from both the insurance agency and the city. We engage with brokers, insurance inspectors, and local officials, providing a turnkey solution to achieve the necessary insurance you need.

Every permit we secure will precisely represent the work requirements needed to fulfill underwriting standards, avoiding coverage denials and providing you the duration needed for us to finish the work.

Our painting and patching services is first-rate. We refloat all impacted surfaces completely so that imperfections do not emerge later. We know how to handle the vintage elements of the home, such as lath and plaster, wainscoting, and trim. Furthermore, we understand when historic codes take precedence over new codes and know how to negotiate when the city seeks to expand the parameters.

In March 2023, property deals began to struggle as insurance companies revised their policies to deny coverage for all properties with K&T installations. This business was founded by a multifamily developer and contractor with deep experience in regulatory processes, project management, development, and construction, applying their knowledge to modernize properties to help owners secure and maintain insurance.

In that same month, my wife Brandi, a realtor in SF, shared me that a property in the Sunset district of SF did not sell because the five buyers who offered on it could not obtain insurance. That same week, two of her associates had buyers in escrow that were canceled by the insurance carriers because the house was identified as having K&T systems. That was the epiphany that sparked the business.

My expertise is in real estate finance and investment. I've built 400 residential units and have arranged equity financing for the development of over 7500 apartments.
