About
Mill Valley Builders
Mill Valley Builders is a well established local construction company in Southern Marin CA. We have been doing business for the past 15 years, serving the Marin communities of Mill Valley, Larkspur, Greenbrae, Ross Tiburon, Belvedere, Sausalito and Corta Madera.
We are are well known for being a leader in design build, additions and rebuilds. And one of our unique specialties is working on difficult terrain such as steep hillsides and unincorporated roads.
Recently, we have answered our community's need to prepare for fire season and we are now an official Generac dealer. We have also begin to build back yard studios and outside kitchens in order to support our client's needs to expand out their personal space during the shelter in place mandates.
During our time here in Southern Marin we have had the privilege of holding long standing relationships with our clients. Our goal and motivation with every one of our jobs is to be there every step of the way during the building process. We look forward to working with you and turning your dreams in to creation.
