Send me the detailed estimateMost Los Altos conversions are in the hall bath of a single-story ranch, where a 60-inch steel tub fills the alcove and the kids who used it have moved out. The tub drain is reachable from the crawlspace, so the new shower drain can go wherever the layout works best, including a linear drain at the back wall. In a Fallen Leaf Park Eichler the drain stays where the slab put it unless we cut concrete, so a pan matched to the old drain location is the quick option. Owners in single-story Los Altos homes who plan to stay often ask for a low or curbless entry and blocking for grab bars, which we frame in now even if the bars come later.
Neighborhoods we work in: Downtown, Old Los Altos, North Los Altos, Woodland Acres–The Highlands, Central Los Altos, South Los Altos, Rancho, Loyola Corners, Fallen Leaf Park, Country Club.
City of Los Altos Building Division (Development Services) (1 N San Antonio Rd, Los Altos) issues permits in Los Altos. Typical review time: not published by the city; it confirms a complete submittal within about 5 business days, and we check the current plan-review time 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.
Silicon Valley Clean Energy supplies the power and PG&E delivers it. Electrification rebates come through SVCE, and the City of Los Altos has funded its own add-on rebates for heat pump water heaters and heat pump HVAC.
Two to three days for an acrylic wall system, about five working days for a tiled shower, and seven to ten for curbless. Permit timing is separate and set by the Los Altos Building Division.
Usually yes. On a raised floor we lower the framing in the shower area so the floor runs flat into it, which is simpler than cutting a slab.
If the house has two bathrooms, keeping one tub is the safe choice for families with small children. The other bath can be a shower.
If the valve or drain moves, yes. A like-for-like swap on the same drain sometimes does not; we confirm with the city before quoting.
