Homes we remodel in Woodside
Most Woodside tub-to-shower conversions are in the hall bath of a Glens cabin-site house or a mid-century ranch, where a 60-inch tub fills the alcove. In the older Glens houses the tub is often cast iron in a small room, so we break it up in place and check the framing under it for old leak damage before the new pan goes in. On rural houses on septic, a conversion stays inside the existing bathroom and does not add a bathroom, which is what sends Woodside plans to County Environmental Health. Owners planning to stay on a property with long walks and stairs often ask for a curbless shower and grab-bar blocking, which we frame in even if the bars come later.
- Rural homes and horse properties on one acre and up (Mountain Home Road, Kings Mountain Road, Olive Hill, Portola Road, the hills toward Skyline): Septic systems, long drives from the road, and water from Cal Water, Redwood City or a private well. Adding a bathroom brings in San Mateo County Environmental Health.
- 1920s–30s cabin-site houses, added onto over the years (Woodside Glens, Emerald Lake Hills): Narrow, steep lots first sold for vacation cabins, many houses spread over two or more lots. The Glens have been on sewer since 1968; the town’s part of Emerald Lake Hills is on septic.
- Mid-century ranches and 1960s–80s custom homes (Woodside Hills, Woodside Heights, Woodside Knolls and the smaller subdivisions off Cañada and Woodside roads): Single-story or split-level houses with dated original baths and closed kitchens; the most common remodels in town.
- Large estates (Across town, on the larger parcels): Several bathrooms per house remodeled together, which is where the town’s 50% wall count matters most.
