San Francisco Bay Area residential neighborhood with hillside homes

Service area

Remodeling in the San Francisco Bay Area

Our office sits at 50 California Street in San Francisco, and from there we remodel homes across the Peninsula and South Bay — the mid-century ranches of Palo Alto and Los Altos, the classic homes of San Francisco, and the neighborhoods of San Jose and beyond.

Bay Area remodeling comes with its own realities: older housing stock with knob-and-tube wiring and undersized panels, hillside lots, strict city plan-check departments, and homes people have owned — or just bought at a premium — that need to become the right home. We plan for those conditions rather than being surprised by them.

Because permitting standards and timelines differ from San Francisco to Palo Alto to San Jose, local familiarity matters. We prepare complete, code-correct submittals and manage plan check so your project keeps moving.

Whether it’s a kitchen in the city, an ADU on a Peninsula lot, or a full-home remodel in the South Bay, you get one accountable team from design through final inspection.
