Building in Greenbrae
Renovation work on ridge and flatland houses close to our shop.
Greenport is a design-build general contractor and millwork shop in San Rafael, founded in 2012 by brothers Eli and Jacob Froneberger, both raised in Marin. We hold California General Building license #1073941, and we mill our own casework at 47 Louise St, a short drive from Greenbrae.
Permitting
Greenbrae is unincorporated, so the Marin County Community Development Agency reviews planning and building, with local advisory comment on larger projects.
Housing stock
Mid-century houses on the Greenbrae ridge and flat-lot houses near Bon Air, many with original kitchens, baths, and single-pane glazing.
What decides the schedule
