from $12,000 · 2–3 weeks
In Westridge, Alpine Hills and Central Portola Valley the bathroom is usually the original 1950s or 1960s one: a small hall bath and a modest primary bath in a house that steps down a slope.
from $15,000 · 4–6 weeks
Most 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.
from $7,500 · 1–5 days
Most Portola Valley conversions are in the hall bath of a 1950s or 1960s ranch, where a 60-inch tub fills the alcove and nobody has used it in years.
Portola Valley sits on the San Andreas fault, and most of its houses are on hillside lots where the town’s ASCC or a neighborhood design committee watches the outside. Four kinds of house come up most, and the first question is whether your street is in the town, in an HOA, or in the county.
Westridge, Alpine Hills, Central Portola Valley. Single-story houses stepping down a slope, often with a crawlspace on the downhill side. Westridge has its own architectural committee for anything visible outside.
Portola Valley Ranch. About 205 clustered, wood-sided houses built from fourteen original models. Exterior changes go through the Ranch Design Committee and then the town.
Los Trancos Woods and Vista Verde (unincorporated). Small lots, septic systems first sized for seasonal use, and permits from San Mateo County, not the town.
Ladera (unincorporated). Late-1940s and 1950s modern houses, including a small group of 1951 Eichlers with plumbing in the slab; permits through San Mateo County.
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 at 765 Portola Rd, Portola Valley issues building 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 pull the permit under our license and attend every inspection.
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.
