Building in Tiburon
View corridors and wind exposure drive both the drawings and the finish schedule.
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 Tiburon.
Permitting
The Town of Tiburon Community Development Department reviews planning and building, with design review for exterior work and specific attention to height, bulk, and protected views.
Housing stock
Hillside and ridge houses from the 1960s onward, many with large glazed elevations facing the bay, plus older houses in downtown Tiburon.
What decides the schedule
Marine exposure. Wind-driven rain and salt air punish glazing, flashing, and exterior wood. Assemblies get detailed for the weather or they fail early.
