Explore our most requested remodeling, renovation, and construction services across San Francisco, the Bay Area, Reno, and Washoe County.
A new home requires more than a good plan. We coordinate design, engineering, structure, systems, permitting, and construction early so every decision supports how the finished home will work and perform well safely.
A full remodel starts with understanding the existing home. We coordinate layout, structure, systems, materials, and construction so new spaces work naturally with what is already there from planning through completion.
A well-planned kitchen brings together layout, storage, appliances, lighting, plumbing, ventilation, and finishes. We resolve these details early so the space works efficiently and feels natural for daily use.
Bathrooms require careful work behind the finished surfaces. We coordinate layout, waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, plumbing, lighting, tile, and fixtures to protect the home and improve daily comfort long term.
An ADU requires careful coordination of site conditions, design, structure, utilities, permitting, and construction. We bring these pieces together so the new space functions well and fits the property over time.
A home addition must connect with the existing structure and systems. We coordinate engineering, permitting, materials, and construction so the new space feels integrated rather than simply added on as planned.
Seismic retrofitting starts with understanding how an existing home is built. We coordinate assessment, engineering, and construction to address vulnerable foundations, cripple walls, and connections over time.
Structural problems require more than fixing what is visible. We coordinate engineering and construction to identify underlying conditions and complete the appropriate repairs for lasting stability for years to come.
You’re never left to figure things out on your own. We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and guide you through the decisions that shape your home. We make sure you know what comes next, what to expect, and why it matters.
Every project matters. We stay closely involved, keep priorities clear, and manage the work with the attention it deserves—even when other projects are underway. Your project stays organized, monitored, and moving forward without unnecessary delays.
We do what we say, communicate when something needs attention, and take responsibility for the work from beginning to completion. You should know who is responsible. We stay accountable and keep you fully informed throughout the process, every step.

Hear directly from homeowners who have trusted AYA Homes with their homes and shared their experience working with us.
I hired AYA Homes to build our house and he did an excellent job! Shawn not only came in under our project budget, but also gave us the quality and finishes we desired. I would highly recommend him for any remodel or construction job. I will be using AYA HOMES to finish our basement next, AND SO SHOULD YOU!!!
We hired Shawn for our kitchen and bathroom renovation project and are beyond impressed with the quality of work. Shawn is knowledgeable in his field and is pretty prompt with chasing down bottlenecks. Our kitchen was done in record time without a dip in quality.
We have used Shawn/AYA Homes for multiple projects at our now as he is one of the few GC’s out there that you can trust to get the job done to completion and at a high quality. Other people we have worked with have left the job for weeks without progress, or simply disappeared before the job was completed. We have found a trusted partner in AYA Homes which is extremely difficult to do these days. Shawn also takes the work personally and provides great advice along the way to help the decision making process that much easier.
