San Rafael is a city of distinct micro-climates and architectural histories, requiring a builder who understands how to navigate both rugged hillsides and coastal exposures. Led by brothers David and Jon Grabham, the G Family has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of the San Rafael estate. Whether we are preserving the historic soul of a Sun Valley cottage or modernizing a sprawling waterfront property in Peacock Gap, our four-division approach ensures every detail is handled with precision.

The process begins with G Design, where we specialize in "Site-Sensitive Architecture." In Sun Valley, this means designing additions that respect the neighborhood's mid-century and craftsman heritage while opening up interiors to the lush, canopy views. In Peacock Gap, we focus on Mediterranean and Contemporary designs that maximize the relationship with the Bay and the golf course, navigating the specific requirements of local homeowner associations to ensure a smooth path from concept to permit.

The construction phase is where the G Family synergy truly shines. G Family Construction handles the complex engineering often required for San Rafael’s topography—from advanced foundation work to seamless second-story additions. Simultaneously, G Landscape transforms the surrounding land. For our clients in the sunny flats of Peacock Gap, we specialize in "Resort-Style Living," featuring custom pool designs, outdoor kitchens, and modern hardscaping. In the more shaded, intimate lots of Sun Valley, we create "Woodland Sanctuaries" with tiered stone gardens and native plantings that feel like a private extension of the San Rafael hills.

Powering these transformations is G Electric. We provide the high-end infrastructure necessary for modern Marin living, including whole-home automation, sophisticated architectural lighting, and backup power solutions that provide peace of mind during fire season. By integrating David’s design vision, Jon’s construction leadership, and our specialized landscape and electric teams, we offer San Rafael homeowners a single, trusted partner for their most ambitious projects.
