Town of Ross · Marin County

Ross
general contractor.

Ross is among the most carefully maintained towns in California. Heritage trees, century-old estates, design review at the highest standard. Working in Ross is a privilege, and it's the kind of work we set up to do.

Building in Ross.

The Town of Ross protects what makes it Ross: the trees, the estates, the streets that haven't been re-engineered in a hundred years. Every project that touches the exterior of a home runs through the Design Review Board, and the bar is high. Cosmetic decisions, material specifications, even paint colors are reviewed and discussed.

For homeowners who chose Ross for exactly these reasons, that scrutiny is part of the value of being there. Our role is to make the design-review process feel manageable and to deliver work that lives up to the standard the neighborhood is known for.

Ross FAQ.

Do you work with the Town of Ross design-review process? +
Yes. Ross has one of the strictest design-review boards in Marin. Material samples, color boards, landscape plans, and extensive presentation packages are required for nearly any exterior project. We coordinate with your architect on the entire submittal and represent the project at hearings.
Can you work on the older estates in Ross? +
Yes. Many Ross homes are early-1900s estates with original detail worth preserving — copper roofing, art-deco hardware, plaster work, stone foundations. We approach these like a restoration: documentation first, sympathetic interventions, modern systems hidden behind original character.
How do you handle tree-protection ordinances in Ross? +
Ross has aggressive heritage-tree protection — many native oaks, redwoods, and bay laurels are protected and can't be removed or root-zoned without approval. We map protected trees during pre-construction, design construction logistics around them, and coordinate with the town arborist where needed.
