History
SF Garage Company is dedicated to improving the structural integrity and overall functionality of Bay Area homes and businesses. In the 1990's SF Garage Company took on one of San Francisco's biggest challenges at the time: limited parking. By excavating underneath existing buildings, new garages and living spaces are created, adding both convenience and square footage to homes throughout the city.
As concerns have increased about San Francisco's aging cityscape and it's ability to withstand a moderate to large scale earthquake, so has the demand for contractors with seismic experience. By staying at the forefront of new design and construction technology, SF Garage Company projects are built with the the most up to date standards and building practices ensuring that your home or business and, most importantly, those that live and work there, will be safe in the event of a natural disaster.
