General contractor in Mountain View, CA.
Remodels, kitchens, baths, additions, and ADUs across Mountain View, from Old Mountain View and Cuesta Park to Monta Loma, Rex Manor, and Waverly Park.
Mountain View, California
A city of mid-century houses.
More of Mountain View's housing stock was built between 1960 and 1979 than in any other period, and fewer than one home in ten has gone up since 2010.
That shapes the work. A sixty-year-old house tends to arrive with an original panel, galvanized supply lines, single-pane windows, and paint that predates the 1978 lead rule. A kitchen or bathroom remodel is usually the moment those get dealt with properly, and we scope them into the estimate instead of raising them as change orders halfway through.
We work Old Mountain View, Cuesta Park, Monta Loma, Rex Manor, Waverly Park, Shoreline West, North Whisman, Springer Meadows, and Gemello, covering ZIP codes 94040, 94041, and 94043. Permits run through the City of Mountain View's Building Division, in the Community Development Department.

Mountain View questions
Before you call.
Permitting, coverage, and the questions we get most often from Mountain View homeowners.
-
Who issues building permits in Mountain View?
The City of Mountain View's Building Division, inside the Community Development Department. We prepare the submittal, carry it through plan check, and schedule the inspections. -
Which Mountain View neighborhoods do you work in?

What should I expect remodeling a 1960s Mountain View house?
Plan for the systems behind the walls, not just the finishes. Original electrical panels, galvanized water lines, minimal insulation, and pre-1978 paint are all common in stock from that era. We flag what we find at the walkthrough so the estimate reflects the real scope. -
Are you licensed and insured?

California requires a CSLB-licensed contractor for essentially any project that needs a building permit, so ask for the licence number on every bid you take, not just ours.
