Triplex General Contractor

Ridgeline Western Construction takes on the full framing and carpentry work that triplexes demand—whether that’s reworking load-bearing walls between units, repairing dry rot at floors or ceilings, or rebuilding balcony and stair framing that serves more than one residence. Every assembly that transfers load between units or shares fire-rated construction gets checked for stability and compliance before anything is touched. Steven Moreno walks the property, reading previous repairs and flagging structural changes made by prior owners, and coordinates with engineering when shared framing or unusual load paths are exposed during demolition.

For any job on a triplex, we schedule and manage licensed plumbing, electrical, and HVAC subcontractors under a single contract, so the whole project runs on one calendar and closes out with city-approved permits and inspections. Roofing is always delivered through our licensed roofing partner where that work falls within scope. Permit records and all inspection sign-offs are tracked from start to finish. Throughout, we control site requirements—parking, protection, and phasing—around occupied units or split access.

Triplex work almost always deals with shared structural and utility elements, so we’re used to sequencing work during tenant turnover or with staggered unit access. Repairs at exterior elevated elements and common entries require the right mix of fire-rated materials and hardware, with SB721 or local soft-story retrofit requirements handled at the correct stage, not left as an afterthought. In every case, Ridgeline Western Construction keeps structure at the center—no patching over bad framing, no weak details that will haunt the next round of inspections or turnarounds.
