Custom copper window sills and downspouts for a project in Berkeley.
Solutions
Karl Kardel Company approaches all problems — waterproofing, deck building, roofing, remodeling and ADUs, interior and exterior painting, drainage, exterior wall protection, and SB721 deck, balcony, walkway, and stair inspections — as one part of the holistic “building-envelope.”
Even with the proper equipment — moisture meters, compatible membranes and flashings, rated fasteners, and drainage that actually discharges — equipment only matters if due diligence comes first: (1) inspect the source and path of water, (2) verify substrate and code, (3) sample concealed framing when needed, and (4) write an itemized scope before rushing in.
Skipping steps is how properties get leaky ledgers. Real solutions require specified systems, documented inspections, and workmanship that can be maintained.

Past & Present Solutions
Lasting construction work depends on the right diagnosis, the right tools, and the discipline to use both.
Leaking Chimney
We removed a C02 leaking chimney from this home and utilized the brick for a custom staircase with milled copper railings.
Redwood Exterior Restoral
Full restoration of this lovely redwood facade. The redwood shingled siding of this house had become stained and discolored. We bleached and re-stained the siding on the whole house, bringing it near to its original form while maintaining some of the aged irregularity.
