Send me the detailed estimateMost Portola Valley kitchens are in single-story 1950s and 1960s houses on sloped lots, where the kitchen is closed off from a living room that faces the view. Opening a non-load-bearing wall toward that room is the most common request, and where the kitchen sits over a crawlspace we can bring plumbing to an island from below. Portola Valley Ranch kitchens are smaller rooms inside clustered 1970s houses, so the work is layout, cabinets and light rather than size, and a new window, skylight or hood vent on the outside goes to the Ranch Design Committee before the town. In Ladera, the 1951 Eichlers run their supply and drain lines through the slab, which pins the sink in place unless we cut concrete. Portola Valley is on PG&E and WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy), whose panel-upgrade bonus can cover part of the electrical work when it comes with a heat pump appliance.
Neighborhoods we work in: Central Portola Valley, Westridge, Alpine Hills, Portola Valley Ranch, Corte Madera, Blue Oaks, Woodside Highlands, Los Trancos Woods, Vista Verde, Ladera.
The San Andreas fault runs through Portola Valley, and the town has mapped its ground since Resolution 500-1974, with a geologic map and a ground movement potential map that set building setbacks along the active traces. For a kitchen or bathroom inside the existing house, that rarely changes the job: the Town Geologist steps in for site development permits, foundation repair over 35 lineal feet, sites inside the fault setback or a flood zone, and additions over 500 square feet. It matters when a bathroom remodel turns into a bump-out, or when we open an old floor and find a cracked foundation, so we check the town’s maps for your parcel before we price anything structural.
Town of Portola Valley Planning & Building Department (765 Portola Rd, Portola Valley) issues permits in Portola Valley. Typical review time: not published by the town; we ask the Building Division for the current queue when we apply. 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.
WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy) supplies the power and PG&E delivers it. WestLight's rebates cover heat pump water heaters and heating, with a bonus for a panel upgrade done alongside them.
Yes for new circuits, moved plumbing or wall removal. Town parcels go to the Portola Valley Building Division; Ladera, Los Trancos Woods and Vista Verde go to San Mateo County.
Usually not. The ASCC reviews additions of 400 square feet or more, two-story buildings and building permits on parcels fronting an arterial road, so we check your parcel against that list before we apply.
Exterior changes, such as a new window, skylight or wall vent for the range hood, may need Design Committee approval first, and the town asks for the Ranch’s approval letter with the application. We plan the hood duct early so it does not become a surprise exterior change.
WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy) offers a panel-upgrade bonus alongside its heat pump rebates; rebate terms change, so we check them when we plan the electrical work. Programs change, so we check what is open when we write your estimate.
