Our Practices

Boss-on-the-House

Ismael Mondragon is no “drive by contractor.” The boss works on your house himself all the time.

Real Carpentry Solutions

Californian home-owners are proud of our resilient wooden residential constructions. Actually, not just Californians.  Ninety percent of houses in the U.S. are built with WOOD.  Wood-crafting is the foundation of most home-building, home-improvement and home-maintenance solutions.  

Two decades of learning and practicing in the trade of carpentry gives us the supreme knowledge and craftsmanship to make and build whatever you might need — whether it be doors, beams, siding, or, a teahouse for friends from afar, a bridge over the wintery stream, or a tree house for the kid inside your heart. 

Down-to-Millimeter Precision

We build with passion and vision; we repair with love and care. Perfection is our standard, seriously, down to the millimeter.  

Staffing for Efficiency

Depending on the scale of your project, we adjust staffing on a weekly or even daily basis.  You can trust us that the goal of this practice is to make the most efficient use of your budget and our professional capacity. 

Client-centered planning

With our principle of “budget-based construction management,” we work within your budget to deliver the best possible results without surprises.

Progress Without Chaos

Fully respecting your needs for space, privacy, work and rest, we go to great lengths to reduce movement and noise in order to minimize disruption of your life and work.

Preventative diagnostics

In Japan, HOAs develop and share with home owners meticulously detailed residential maintenance plan in 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year ranges. This way, home owners can see clearly how their HOA fees are utilized to maximize their own safety and the long-term health of their home.  We adapt this practice to our local circumstances.   

Our Ethical Compass

Integrity and Reciprocity

Honesty, generosity, and reciprocity create the reservoir of an ever-flowing fountain of social goodness and graciousness.

Co-existence and Co-prosperity

We strive to develop long-term partnership with our clients and business partners. Open communication and collaborative planning lie at the heart of these relationships.  

Pride and Devotion

We are 100% devoted to our work. We are proud of our work and our devotion.

“I want to give Ismael a glowing referral. He has worked for me many times and I have found him to be not only a skilled craftsman but also a very special human being. He has always listened to what I wanted in a project and many times found solutions I had not even considered. All work was done to perfection. I trust him so much that I have left a key to my house with him for him to execute a project while i was away for weeks at a time. I will gladly speak with anyone who has questions regarding his abilities and conscientiousness."
