Oakland's
Character
Deserves Respect

Oakland has some of the Bay Area's most stunning architecture — Victorian mansions in Rockridge, Arts & Crafts bungalows in Montclair, and those incredible Bernard Maybeck brown shingles scattered throughout the hills. These homes have history, character, and bones that most new construction can only dream about.

But let's talk about those kitchens. A lot of Oakland's most beautiful homes are still rocking galley kitchens from the 1920s, bathrooms with one outlet and zero counter space, and floor plans that made sense when people had servants but don't work for how we live today.

We've helped Oakland homeowners bring these classic homes into the modern era — opening up kitchens, adding bathrooms that actually function, seismic retrofitting (because let's be real, this is earthquake country), and building ADUs that create rental income or space for family. All while keeping the charm, the craftsmanship, and the character that makes Oakland architecture special.

• Kitchen Remodels — Modern function without erasing history
• Bathroom Remodels — Updated plumbing, timeless design
• Home Additions & ADUs — Income properties, in-law units, extra space
• Whole-Home Remodels — Seismic upgrades, full renovations, preservation work
• Outdoor Living Spaces — Decks, landscaping, hillside work
• Garage Conversions — Studios, offices, flex spaces

Why Oakland
Homeowners
Choose Lussoro

We Get Historic Homes
We've restored Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, and brown shingles. We know how to work with plaster walls, old-growth lumber, and quirky floor plans. We're not trying to make your 1910 Craftsman look like a 2020 farmhouse — we're trying to make it the best version of itself.

Seismic Retrofitting Experts
This is earthquake country. We do foundation work, seismic bolting, cripple wall bracing — the unglamorous stuff that keeps your home standing when the ground moves. It's not sexy, but it matters.

ADU Specialists
Oakland loves ADUs. The city has made permitting easier, and homeowners are using them for everything from rental income to studios to housing aging parents. We've built dozens. We know the process, the codes, and how to make them pencil out.
