Custom Home Design in Sausalito
You won’t find many Bay Area communities with higher standards for custom home design than Sausalito. Sausalito's hillside setting, sweeping views of Richardson Bay, and thoughtfully preserved architectural character demand a builder who approaches every project with both technical precision and a genuine appreciation for what makes these homes special.
With over 35 years of experience building throughout the Bay Area, Christopher Gate Construction approaches each project in Sausalito with reverence, from complete remodels that respect the home's original details to custom builds that will embrace your views and enhance the community.
If you are remodeling an existing waterfront home or collaborating with an architect on a completely custom home build, we have the experience, communication and integrity your Sausalito project deserves.


Finding the Right General Contractor in Sausalito
Finding the right general contractor in Sausalito begins with hiring a team that knows how to build here. Sausalito has a unique combination of challenges: sloped sites, bay exposure, a rigorous local design review process and an architectural context where there are consequences to every decision. General contractor experience doesn’t cut it. You need a Sausalito renovation contractor who has been through the process and knows how to manage these conditions without derailing your project.
Christopher Gate Construction has been working throughout the Bay Area for years on projects with the same complexity as most homes in Sausalito. We work with owners and designers from initial planning discussions all the way through permit negotiation, construction administration, and final walkthrough. We manage the complexity of the process on your behalf.
Building a home in Sausalito demands a builder who approaches each project as its own distinct challenge. We don't believe in cookie-cutter homes with complicated pasts. We listen. We plan. We build.
A Team Built in Sausalito on Experience, Integrity, and Craftsmanship
Over 35 years ago, Christopher Gate started Christopher Gate Construction with three values he has never compromised: build well, communicate honestly, and treat every home like it matters. You will find those values in every project we undertake, from San Francisco to Marin County, where we serve our clients.
We enjoy working with clients in Sausalito. Established homeowners who have a clear vision for the home they want to live in long-term. Design professionals who need a build partner they can trust to execute their plans without compromise. People who care deeply about the architectural character of the communities they belong to. We are selective about the projects we take on because we want every client we work with to receive our full attention and best work.
The homes of Sausalito carry a great deal of history and character. The hillside cottages, the midcentury renovations, the contemporary builds that step carefully down toward the water: each one represents an investment in place that we take seriously. We approach every project as if we were building our own home, because we know that is exactly how our clients feel about theirs.
When you bring Christopher Gate Construction onto your project, you are not hiring a company. You are gaining a committed partner who will be present, accountable, and invested in the outcome from the beginning through the final walkthrough.
