Homes we remodel in Atherton

In Atherton, tub-to-shower conversions are rarely about saving money. They happen in guest suites and kids’ baths where an old tub is in the way, and in primary baths where owners who plan to stay want a curbless shower with a bench and frameless glass to the ceiling. Most of these houses have a raised floor or a newer slab with room to recess, so a flat entry is practical. Because the house usually has several other bathrooms, there is no need for a fast acrylic system; nearly every Atherton conversion we build is tile.

  • Estates on one-acre lots, 1930s to new (Lindenwood, West Atherton, Selby Lane): Long carries from the street to the room, protected trees in the way of dumpsters and deliveries, and several bathrooms per house.
  • Mid-century and 1960s–70s ranches (Lloyden Park, Atherton Oaks, Fair Oaks): Single-story homes on large lots where a primary suite gets expanded into an old bedroom or patio.
  • Staff and guest suites (Across town): Separate guest houses and staff baths that are remodeled on their own schedule while the main house stays occupied.

Neighborhoods we work in: Lindenwood, West Atherton, Lloyden Park, Atherton Oaks, Fair Oaks, Selby Lane.

Permits in Atherton

Town of Atherton Building Department (80 Fair Oaks Ln, Atherton) issues permits in Atherton. Typical review time: about 4–6 weeks for interior work; longer when the exterior changes and design review applies. 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.

  • Atherton’s heritage tree ordinance protects large trees; dumpster, staging and truck routes are planned around root zones.
  • The town sets construction hours and days; our schedule follows them, which is one reason Atherton jobs run longer.
  • Exterior changes, including new windows or a bump-out for a primary suite, go through design review.

Peninsula Clean Energy and PG&E; estate homes often need a service upgrade for induction plus heated floors.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion questions from Atherton

Can you build a curbless shower in an older Atherton home?

Usually yes. On a raised floor we lower the framing in the shower area; on a slab we cut a shallow recess. Either way the floor runs flat into the shower.

Should I keep a tub somewhere for resale?

In an Atherton home with several bathrooms, one tub elsewhere is plenty. Many buyers want a freestanding tub in the primary suite, not a tub-shower combination.

How long does a tiled conversion take in Atherton?

About five to ten working days depending on the shower, adjusted to the town’s construction hours.

Do you install glass to the ceiling and steam showers?

Yes. A steam shower needs a sealed enclosure, a sloped ceiling and a vapor barrier, which we build in from the start.
