Conscious construction for humans & nature.

We are artists of structure and land.

Sunrise Homestead is a carpentry and general contracting outfit in West Sonoma County, California. We hail from a not-so-traditional background of sculpture and fine art. As conscious builders, we are concerned with the aesthetic quality of construction and homestead design.

We create architecture and the conditions for conscious living using the natural order of things, whether updating a home or transforming a piece of land into a functioning homestead. We use lasting materials, local ecosystems, and the resources Mother Earth already provides to bring together humans and nature in one holistic system.

 

We are returning to the origin, back to the source.

Testimonials

“My husband and I bought a home several months ago in the Russian River area which needed some repairs including new siding, refurbishing the deck, and some plumbing issues. Nick was incredibly responsive, and explained things every step of the way. The work was timely and most importantly top notch. Despite having to work around both COVID and nearby fires which caused a brief delay, Nick and his crew made sure that everything was completed on time and done in a quality way. We were blown away by Nick's professionalism, responsiveness, thoroughness, and caliber of work. When we need to do further repairs/upgrades in the future, we will 100% be working with Nick -- I recommend him fully.”

"Nick is an incredibly skilled craftsman. I hired him to build a small art studio in my backyard and couldn't be happier with the result. Communication was very strong at every step of the way- he listened carefully to my needs and offered lots of great ideas and suggestions to help me figure out exactly what I wanted. His process is very thoughtful and intentional and he really worked hard to make each decision count- from the quality of materials, to the finishing details. His work is top quality and he really goes the extra mile to make everything as nice as it could be.”
