Homes we remodel in Los Altos Hills

In Los Altos Hills the bathroom we remodel is often in a 1960s ranch on the flat north side of town, where a raised floor makes plumbing moves easy, or in a 1970s–90s hillside house where the primary bath sits over a finished room below. In the hillside homes we flood-test every shower pan for 24 hours before tile, and we plan deliveries around a steep driveway and a long carry. On a septic lot, a remodel inside the same room does not change the system, but adding a full bath next to an office or bonus room can make the county count it as a bedroom, which brings the Department of Environmental Health into the job. Any change to the outside of the house, even a new window in the shower wall, moves the project into the town’s site development review before the building permit. Most owners here stay a long time, so curbless showers and grab-bar blocking are common requests.

  • 1950s–60s ranches on one-acre lots (The flatter north side of town, around Fremont Road and Fremont Hills): Single-story homes on raised floors, easy to plumb from below, with original baths and closed kitchens. Many are on town sewer; some are still on septic.
  • 1970s–90s custom hillside homes (Altamont, Moody, Page Mill and Elena Road areas): Split levels, stepped foundations and bathrooms over finished rooms. Long, steep carries from the driveway, and septic systems on many lots.
  • Mid-century custom houses, including a few custom Eichlers (Scattered across town): Post-and-beam framing, large glass walls and sometimes slab floors with radiant heat, so plumbing moves need more planning.
  • Newer large custom homes (Across town, often where an older house came down): Several bathrooms per house and big kitchens; the work is usually finishes and layout, not structure.

Neighborhoods we work in: Fremont Hills, Westwind, Altamont Road, Moody Road, Page Mill Road, Arastradero Road, Purissima Road, Elena Road.

Remodeling on septic in Los Altos Hills

Many Los Altos Hills homes are on town sewer, but where no sewer line runs within 200 feet, the house is on a septic system permitted by the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health. A bathroom or kitchen remodel inside the existing footprint does not normally involve the septic system. It does when the work adds a bedroom, adds more than 500 square feet, or turns an office or bonus room into something the county may count as a bedroom, for example by giving it its own full bath. In those cases the county can require the existing system to be evaluated or brought up to current standards, which can mean a larger tank and new drainfield. We check the septic record and the bedroom count at the first visit, so you know before design whether the county needs to be involved.

Permits in Los Altos Hills

Town of Los Altos Hills Building Department (26379 Fremont Rd, Los Altos Hills) issues permits in Los Altos Hills. Typical review time: not published by the town; we confirm the current time when we apply, and interior-only work goes straight to building plan check. We prepare the drawings, pull the permit under our license and meet the inspector at every visit; the fee is a line item on your estimate.

  • Exterior modifications, any expansion and new coverage such as decks or patios go through the town’s site development review before a building permit. Interior-only kitchen and bath remodels go straight to a building permit.
  • New homes and major additions also need a geotechnical report reviewed by the Town Geologist; a drainage plan and erosion control plan must be approved before plans are accepted for building plan check.
  • Septic permits, and any septic evaluation triggered by an addition or a new bedroom, go through the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health, separately from the town permit.
  • The town adopted the state fire hazard severity zone map in 2025. On parcels in a high or very high zone, exterior work such as new windows, vents or decks has to meet stricter fire-resistant construction rules; we check your parcel before specifying materials.
  • Town construction hours are Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 5:30 pm, with no heavy equipment on Saturday. Permit submittals and inspections run Monday to Thursday.

Silicon Valley Clean Energy supplies the power and PG&E delivers it. SVCE has offered rebates for induction, heat pump water heaters and panel upgrades, and the town has offered its own rebate of up to $1,000 for a heat pump water heater.

Bathroom Remodeling questions from Los Altos Hills

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Los Altos Hills?

If plumbing moves, circuits are added or walls open, yes. The Town of Los Altos Hills Building Department issues it; we pull the permit and attend the inspections, which the town runs Monday to Thursday.

My house is on septic. Does a bathroom remodel affect it?

Not if the bathroom stays in the same room and no bedroom is added. Adding a new full bath or a bedroom can trigger a review by the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health, and we tell you at the site visit whether yours does.

Does an interior bathroom remodel need site development review?

No. Site development review covers exterior changes and expansion. Interior-only work goes straight to a building permit.

Can you add a skylight to my bathroom?

Yes, but a skylight is an exterior change, so it goes through the town’s site development review before the building permit. We build that step into the schedule.
