Overview
Home remodeling in San Marino
Sage n' Slate is a senior-led design-build firm working throughout San Marino and the surrounding San Marino area. The neighborhood is defined by stately colonial revivals, tudors, and mediterranean estates on generous lots, and our work respects that context — we remodel and build homes that read as if they were always meant to be there. We cover ZIP code 91108 and pull permits through City of San Marino.

Process
How a project runs
Every San Marino engagement follows the same disciplined sequence.
Discovery
a no-cost site walk and conversation about how you actually live in the home.
Design
drawings, materials, and a transparent line-item budget developed together.
Build
senior trades on site, weekly client check-ins, and a single point of accountability.
Walk-through
a punch-list closeout, written warranty, and a clean handoff of the finished home.
Craft
We build with materials that hold up for decades — rift-cut oak, honed stone, hand-troweled plaster, unlacquered brass. The detailing is what makes a San Marino remodel feel quietly resolved rather than newly built.
Permits
