IronNest Construction in Mission District
Mission District is part of San Francisco, and we know this area well. Dense residential and mixed-use renovation in one of SF's most active neighborhoods.
We've been working in San Francisco since 2010. SF construction has its own challenges — steep hillsides, Victorian building stock, strict DBI permitting, and seismic requirements that most out-of-town contractors get wrong. We know this city's codes, its neighborhoods, and what it takes to get a project through the Department of Building Inspection without surprises.
What We Build in Mission District
Full-service construction from a licensed San Francisco contractor — everything handled in-house, no middlemen.
Painting
Interior & Exterior Painting
A fresh coat of paint is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make to any property. We don't just roll paint — we prep surfaces properly, repair cracks and damaged drywall, apply primer where needed, and use quality materials rated for California conditions.
- Proper surface prep — crack repair, drywall patching, caulking
- Low-VOC and zero-VOC options for occupied spaces
- Victorian color consultation for historic homes
Roofing
Roof Replacement & Repair
Your roof is your property's first line of defense. Whether you need a full replacement, targeted repairs, or a pre-sale inspection, we assess honestly and give you options. We work with composition shingle, flat roof systems, and tile.
- Free roof assessment before any commitment
- Emergency repair response for active leaks
- Flat roof specialists for commercial and SF residential
Siding
Siding Replacement & Installation
Old siding loses its seal, lets moisture in, and drives up heating bills. We replace deteriorated wood siding, install fiber cement products like HardiePlank, and handle all trim, flashing, and caulking so nothing comes back later.
- James Hardie certified installers
- Wood, fiber cement, and engineered wood options
- Complete moisture barrier installation — no shortcuts
General Construction
Full-Scope General Contracting
General contracting means we own the whole project — design coordination, permitting, subcontractor management, scheduling, and final delivery. You deal with one point of contact. We build kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs, additions, and commercial spaces from the ground up.
- Single point of accountability from permit to punch list
- All subcontractors licensed, insured, and vetted by us
- Fixed-price contracts — scope and price agreed upfront
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Renovation & Redesign
The kitchen is the most-used room in a home and the renovation with the clearest return on investment. We handle full kitchen remodels from demo through finish — cabinetry, countertops, appliances, electrical, plumbing, tile, and lighting. One contractor, no coordination headaches.
- Full coordination of all trades — no subcontract juggling for you
- Custom and semi-custom cabinetry at all price points
- Quartz, granite, and butcher block countertops in-house
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Renovation & Redesign
Bathroom renovations consistently rank among the highest-ROI home improvements in California. We handle full bathroom remodels — tile, fixtures, vanity, shower and tub, waterproofing, lighting, and ventilation — all under one contract, fully permitted.
- Schluter and Wedi waterproofing systems — proper installation
- Tile work with correct layout and grout selection
- Ventilation upgrades — quiet fans, proper CFM rating
Flooring Installation
Hardwood, LVP, Tile & More
Flooring is one of the first things buyers and visitors see. We install hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and laminate — with proper subfloor prep that makes the floor last. No floating installations on bad substrates.
- Subfloor assessment and repair before installation
- Hardwood — solid and engineered, multiple species and finishes
- Luxury vinyl plank — waterproof, durable, warm underfoot
Drywall
Drywall Installation & Repair
Drywall is the canvas for everything else. We install new drywall for additions, repairs, and full renovation scopes, and we patch and finish existing walls to a seamless result. Our drywall crews can match any existing texture — orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel.
- Level 4 and Level 5 finish available for premium paint applications
- Texture matching for repairs — orange peel, knockdown, smooth
- Moisture-resistant drywall in bathrooms and kitchens
ADU Construction
Accessory Dwelling Units — Permitted & Built
ADUs are one of the best investments a Bay Area homeowner can make right now. We build detached ADUs, garage conversions, attached additions, and JADUs — handling design, permits, and construction under one contract. We know California ADU law, local approval processes, and how to maximize livable space on your specific lot.
- Full ADU feasibility review before you commit to any design
- Permit management — design, plans, plan check, and inspections
- Detached, attached, garage conversion, and JADU options
Stucco Repair
Stucco Repair, Recoat & Restoration
Stucco is everywhere in Bay Area construction, and it fails in predictable ways — cracks at windows and corners, moisture intrusion behind the face, efflorescence, and delamination. We repair stucco correctly: addressing the moisture source first, then patching and recoating so repairs don't crack back open within a year.
- Root cause analysis before any patching — no surface-only repairs
- Three-coat traditional stucco application for major repairs
- Elastomeric coating options for older stucco with minor checking
Foundation Repair
Foundation Repair & Seismic Retrofit
Foundation issues in the Bay Area are common and serious. We handle pier underpinning for settling foundations, cripple wall and crawl space seismic retrofits, slab crack repair, and drainage solutions that stop ongoing movement. Every foundation job starts with an honest assessment — we won't oversell you on work you don't need.
- Seismic retrofit for cripple wall foundations — FEMA P-1100 compliant
- Pier underpinning for settling or undermined foundations
- Crack repair with epoxy injection and carbon fiber straps
Concrete Work
Driveways, Patios, Walkways & Foundations
We pour and finish concrete for driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls, and foundations. We also repair settling, cracked, and spalled concrete surfaces. Proper subgrade prep, correct mix design, and control joints — these are the details that make concrete last 30 years instead of 8.
- Subgrade compaction and base preparation — the foundation under the concrete
- Correct mix design for application — 3,000 to 4,500 PSI as needed
- Control joint placement to prevent random cracking
Deck Construction
Decks, Patios & Outdoor Living
A well-built deck adds usable square footage, improves how you use your property, and increases resale value. We build wood, composite, and Trex decks — handling structural design, permits, ledger waterproofing, and all finish work. In the Bay Area, a deck that's not properly waterproofed and anchored doesn't last.
- Full structural design — sized for load, code-compliant span tables
- Ledger connection waterproofing — the step most contractors skip
- Trex, Fiberon composite, and pressure-treated wood options
