Send me the detailed estimateIn Los Altos Hills, most tub-to-shower conversions are in a hall or guest bath where an old tub is rarely used, or in a primary bath where owners who plan to stay want a curbless shower with a bench and grab-bar blocking. In a ranch on a raised floor we lower the framing in the shower area so the floor runs flat, and the new drain can go where the layout needs it. In a hillside house the bath is often over a finished room, so the pan is flood-tested for 24 hours before tile. A conversion inside the same room does not change the bedroom count, so on a septic lot it does not bring in the county.
Neighborhoods we work in: Fremont Hills, Westwind, Altamont Road, Moody Road, Page Mill Road, Arastradero Road, Purissima Road, Elena Road.
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.
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.
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.
Two to three days for an acrylic system, about five working days for tile and seven to ten for curbless, within the town’s construction hours. Permit timing is separate.
Usually. On a raised floor we lower the framing; over a slab or a finished room below we look at the structure first and tell you the options before quoting.
No. Replacing a tub with a shower in the same room does not add a bedroom, so the county does not need to review the system.
If the valve or drain moves, yes, from the Town of Los Altos Hills. A like-for-like swap sometimes does not; we confirm with the town before quoting.
Tell us about the room. We visit the same week, measure, and send a written, itemized estimate within 48 hours.
