Over nine in ten San Marino homes are owner occupied, on lots zoned across seven size tiers.
San Marino is 91.4 percent owner occupied across 4,477 housing units, which is about as high as it gets anywhere we work. The city sits in the San Rafael Hills and is divided into seven zones based on minimum lot size, the smallest around 4,500 square feet and many averaging over 30,000 square feet.
That ownership profile changes the job. These are people who have lived with a deck for years and intend to live with the repair for many more, so the questions are about durability and how the finished work looks. Larger lots also mean larger structures: terraces, long stair runs and elevated decks that are part of the architecture.
Sloping ground in the San Rafael Hills puts drainage ahead of coating in the sequence. Water leaving a terrace over its edge onto a grade is not being managed, it is being relocated. We settle the collection and discharge path first and then specify a system that serves it.
Scale brings movement. A terrace with real length expands and contracts every day, and that movement lands on the same details: the joint at the house, the railing penetrations, the transitions at steps and changes of level.
Appearance is a legitimate part of the brief on these properties. Color, texture, edge trim and how the surface meets stone or tile get decided before we start rather than sorted out at the end with whatever is on the truck.

Building inspections can only be scheduled Monday through Thursday during regular office hours, and there are no Friday inspections. Missing a Thursday slot costs the rest of the week, so we book ahead.
They do. The city sits in the San Rafael Hills with seven zones by minimum lot size, many averaging over 30,000 square feet, so structures tend to be terraces and long stair runs rather than small back landings.
Yes, and on owner-occupied property at 91.4 percent that matters. Color, texture, edge treatment and transitions to stone or tile are decided up front, not improvised at the end.
