San Jose, California
The city we work out of.
Monte Builders is based in San Jose. Most of our jobs sit inside city limits, which means shorter drives, faster punch-list returns, and a crew that already knows the plan-check counter.
We build in Willow Glen, Naglee Park, Cambrian, Evergreen, Blossom Valley, Communications Hill, Almaden, and the Rose Garden area, and we cover the residential ZIP codes from 95110 through 95148, including 95112, 95116, 95118, 95120, 95123, 95125, 95126, 95129, 95131, and 95136.
Permits for San Jose addresses run through the city's Planning, Building & Code Enforcement department. San José also publishes preapproved ADU plan sets, which can shorten review considerably when a preapproved plan fits the lot. We handle the submittal and the inspections either way.
- Home base San Jose is where the crew starts and ends the day.
- 1 day Typical response on an estimate request.

San Jose questions
Before you call.
Permitting, coverage, and the questions we get most often from San Jose homeowners.
-
Do you pull permits for San Jose projects?
Yes. Residential permits for San Jose addresses go through the city's Planning, Building & Code Enforcement department. We prepare the submittal, carry it through plan check, and schedule the inspections. -
Which San Jose neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them. Most of our work lands in Willow Glen, Naglee Park, Cambrian, Evergreen, Blossom Valley, Communications Hill, Almaden, and the Rose Garden area, but we take jobs anywhere inside city limits. -
Can you build an ADU in San Jose?
Yes. San José runs a preapproved ADU plan program alongside the standard custom route. We'll tell you at the walkthrough which path actually fits your lot, then handle the permitting and the build. -
Are you licensed and insured?
Monte Builders is a licensed California Class B general building contractor, bonded, and carrying $2,000,000 in general liability. 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.
