What we remodel in Palo Alto

Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Palo Alto

from$7,500 · 1–5 days

Most Palo Alto tub-to-shower conversions are in the hall bath of a 1950s ranch or an Eichler, where a 60-inch tub fills the alcove and nobody has used it in years.

Homes in Palo Alto

Most of the remodels we do in Palo Alto fall into one of four kinds of house, and each one changes the job before we pick a single tile.

Eichlers

Greenmeadow, Fairmeadow, Palo Verde, Charleston Meadows, parts of Midtown. Radiant-heat tubing in the slab, post-and-beam walls, no attic. Every drain and supply line runs through concrete, so plumbing is the whole job.

1920s plaster bungalows and Spanish revivals

Professorville, Crescent Park, Old Palo Alto, Downtown North, College Terrace. Lath-and-plaster walls, original cast-iron drains, knob-and-tube wiring we sometimes still find behind the tile.

1950s ranches

Midtown, Barron Park, Ventura, Green Acres, Southgate. Crawlspaces make plumbing moves straightforward; small hall baths and closed kitchens are the usual starting point.

Teardown new-builds

Everywhere, most often Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park. Newer homes that need a second primary suite or a kitchen redone to the buyer’s taste.

Permits in Palo Alto

City of Palo Alto Development Services at 285 Hamilton Ave, Palo Alto issues building permits in Palo Alto. Typical review time: about 2 weeks on the city’s express track or 30 days on standard review, plus any correction rounds. We pull the permit under our license and attend every inspection.

  • Title 24 energy documentation is required on permitted kitchens; we prepare the forms.
  • Green Building requirements apply to remodels above the city’s valuation threshold; we fill the checklist.
  • Professorville and Ramona Street are historic districts. Exterior changes there go through historic and architectural review (HRB/ARB); interior remodels follow the standard permit path.
  • Stanford campus homes permit through Santa Clara County and need Stanford Faculty Staff Housing sign-off first.

City of Palo Alto Utilities supplies electricity, gas and water, so electrification rebates and service upgrades go through CPAU, not PG&E.
