Fog-line Victorian town on the tip of the peninsula; salt-fog exposure on every elevation. Dense Victorian-era cottages with party-wall proximity, zero overhangs on some faces, and century-old assemblies that were never designed to dry inward or outward.

Why does local building knowledge matter in Pacific Grove?
Fog-line Victorian town on the tip of the peninsula; salt-fog exposure on every elevation. Dense Victorian-era cottages with party-wall proximity, zero overhangs on some faces, and century-old assemblies that were never designed to dry inward or outward. Providers who work these exact failure modes find sources faster and scope work more accurately than generalists applying a national template.
What standard is the work held to?
The sensitized-occupant standard: written scopes, verified negative-pressure containment where remediation is involved, no fogging or biocide-and-leave treatments, chemical disclosure, and third-party verification as the release condition for final payment.
