In Roman mythology, Cardea is the benefactress of craftsmen. Her name comes from the word "Cardo" meaning door pivot. Cardea is also known as the goddess of thresholds and hinges, and the patroness of changes in state, "her power is to open what is shut and shut what is open." We are more than carpenters - we are highly skilled craftsmen who appreciate and understand the unique attributes of each project. Founded in 2004, Cardea Building Co. is a general construction firm specializing in high-end residential projects in the San Francisco Bay Area.
