Homes we remodel in Mountain View

Most Mountain View conversions are in the hall bath of a Monta Loma house or a 1950s ranch, where a 60-inch tub fills the alcove. On an Eichler or Mackay slab the drain stays where the concrete put it unless we cut, so a pan matched to the old drain is the fast choice and a centered or linear drain is the upgrade. In Old Mountain View the raised floor lets the new drain go where the shower needs it, and the old tub is often cast iron that we break up in place. In townhomes and condos the pan is flood-tested for 24 hours because a neighbor lives below. Owners planning to stay ask for a curbless entry and grab-bar blocking, which we frame in even if the bars come later.

  • Mid-century modern tracts: Eichler, Mackay and Mardell (Monta Loma, plus the early-1970s Bell Meadows Eichlers): Eichlers have radiant-heat tubing in the slab and post-and-beam walls; many Mackay flattops are on slab too. Plumbing moves mean cutting concrete, so the drain locations shape the design.
  • Early-1900s to 1930s bungalows and Victorians (Old Mountain View): Craftsman and Spanish-revival bungalows on raised floors, with plaster walls and old drains. A few houses are on the city’s historic register, which matters only if the outside changes.
  • 1950s–60s ranches (Rex Manor, Shoreline West, Cuesta Park, Waverly Park, Blossom Valley, Varsity Park): Single-story houses where small hall baths and closed kitchens are the usual starting point.
  • Townhomes and condos (Whisman, Downtown and along the main corridors): Stacked or shared-wall units: HOA approval first, and every shower pan flood-tested before tile because a neighbor lives below.

Permits in Mountain View

City of Mountain View Building Division (500 Castro St, Mountain View) issues permits in Mountain View. Typical review time: per the city’s published estimates, about 5–7 days for a like-for-like bathroom and 6–8 weeks when walls change; about 5 business days for like-for-like kitchen cabinets and 2–3 months for a kitchen with wall changes. We confirm the current 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.

  • The city says a permit is required for all bathroom remodels; a standard toilet replacement in the same location is the exception.
  • Mountain View’s Green Building and Reach Code requires electrical pre-wiring for a future electric appliance when a remodel installs gas equipment; we include it in the electrical plan.
  • Houses on Mountain View’s Register of Historic Resources, including some in Old Mountain View, need a Historic Preservation permit for exterior changes; interior remodels do not need extra historic review.
  • Title 24 energy documentation is required on permitted kitchens; we prepare the forms.

Silicon Valley Clean Energy and PG&E; electrification rebates come through Silicon Valley Clean Energy, and the city has added funding to SVCE’s heat-pump water heater rebate.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion questions from Mountain View

How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take in Mountain View?

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 city.

Do I need a permit to convert a tub to a shower?

In Mountain View, yes: the city requires a permit for bathroom remodels other than a simple toilet swap. If the drain stays in place, the city estimates about 5–7 days.

Can a curbless shower go on an Eichler slab?

Yes, by cutting a shallow recess in the slab around the radiant tubing. It is the most involved conversion we do, and the one owners planning to stay the longest choose.

Will removing the only tub hurt resale?

Not if another bathroom keeps one. Families with small children look for a tub; the other bath can be a shower.
