Homes we remodel in Los Altos Hills

Los Altos Hills kitchens range from the closed 1960s kitchen in a ranch near Fremont Road to the large kitchen in a newer custom home that needs new cabinets and appliances rather than a new layout. In the ranches, a raised floor lets us run water, drain and power to a new island, and many interior partitions are non-load-bearing walls our Open-Concept package covers. Hillside homes from the 1970s to 1990s often have the kitchen on a main level with finished rooms below, so drain routing for a moved sink is planned before demolition. A kitchen with induction, a second oven and a heat pump water heater added together often needs a service upgrade, coordinated with PG&E. If the remodel stays inside the house, the town’s site development review does not apply; a new window, door or bump-out brings it in.

  • 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.

Kitchen Remodeling questions from Los Altos Hills

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

Almost always. New circuits, a moved sink or a removed wall need a permit from the Town of Los Altos Hills Building Department, which we pull and inspect.

Are there rebates for going electric in a Los Altos Hills kitchen?

Silicon Valley Clean Energy has offered rebates for induction and for panel upgrades done with heat pump equipment, and the town has offered its own heat pump water heater rebate. Programs change, so we check what is open when we write your estimate.

Can you open my kitchen to the family room?

If the wall is not load-bearing, yes, under our Open-Concept package. Load-bearing walls need a beam and structural work that waits on our general building license; we tell you which you have at the site visit.

Our driveway is steep. Is that a problem for cabinet and counter delivery?

It changes how we stage, not whether we can do it. We walk the route at the first visit and plan deliveries and any slab carry so nothing waits on the road.
