Building in Kentfield
Quisisana, our whole-house design-build in Kentfield, is in the project register.
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 Kentfield.
Permitting
Kentfield is unincorporated, so the Marin County Community Development Agency reviews planning and building. The Kentfield Planning Advisory Board comments on projects before the county decides.
Housing stock
Large single-family houses on wooded parcels, many built between the 1930s and 1970s, with a stock of ranch houses that are frequently taken to the studs rather than replaced.
What decides the schedule
County review plus an advisory board adds calendar time before permit issuance. Projects that plan for it start on schedule; projects that do not lose a season.
