Our story
Led on Site, Every Step
We're Counterforce, a general contracting crew based in Oakland. Our work centers on the jobs that demand precision and code compliance — mandated earthquake retrofits for apartment buildings, and drainage systems that have to tie in cleanly with what's already there.
James leads every project personally, staying responsive and communicative from the first call through the final walkthrough. Customers consistently point to the same things: a crew that shows up on time, keeps the site clean, and knows how to solve problems that come up mid-project.
Whether it's a multi-unit retrofit or a French drain that needs to tie into an existing system, we handle it with the same hands-on attention.
- Led on-site by owner James
- Mandated seismic retrofit experience
- Responsive, clear communication
- Clean, on-time crews
