As an experienced general contractor in Los Altos, we also help you with home remodeling as well. Here is how we help you with home remodeling in Los Altos.
In our first meeting, we would talk about the exact tasks that you want to execute. This might be something simple or something extensive. Based on the initial discussion, we would create 3D Designs that would help you to visualize how your home would look once we are done.
Based on the design that you choose, we would give you a free, no-obligation, and detailed estimate that would give you a clear idea about the costs.
Based on the scope of work, we will have to submit an application for home remodel permits at the local City Office.
After getting the initial approval, we might have to work on deconstructing the existing space.
After we have completed the deconstruction work, we would begin the work according to the approved plans.
Once the work is done, we would schedule an inspection with the City Office. The City Inspector would visit your premises and once everything is done successfully, you would get the final approval.
At Done Right Home Remodeling, we also offer services for ADU construction in Los Altos. Whether you are looking to build one to accommodate members of your extended family, earn additional rental income, or just boost the resale value, our team would help you achieve your goals.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) can be divided into the following types
You can think of this as a tiny house, granny pod, or backyard cottage. This particular type of ADU is built in the backyard of your existing home. They are often used as a rental, mother-in-law suite, or guest house for friends and family members.
A garage conversion aims to turn a pre-existing space like your garage into a full-blown living space. In most cases, this includes outfitting it with heating and cooling, insulation, as well as adding water lines for a bathroom and kitchen.
This is similar to garage conversion. However, they are often built within a larger garage with high ceilings. In most carriage houses, lower levels remain to be used as garage space, and the upper area is transformed into an apartment.
An internal conversion option is to create a basement apartment. This is commonly called an in-law suite. Basement apartments usually have an exterior entrance separate from the main house (though sometimes you have to go through the backyard to access it). Depending on your intention, you may or may not need an entrance to the main home from inside the apartment.
Some homeowners often wish to create an addition that can serve as a separate living unit for either family. These can also be used as rental space. Depending on the structure of the home, this might be structurally a one or 2 storey pop-out from one side of the house.
Also known as JADU, these units are less than 500 square feet. It could be anything from a self-sufficient tiny home to a fully functioning tree house apartment.
When building an ADU, you would need to understand the requirements. Fannie Mae, a government mortgage entity, has listed criteria for what must be included to call a construction to be an ADU:
Contact our team for Los Altos ADU construction and we would help you build the specific unit that would help you realize the dream of having a full-fledged ADU.

Here is the process that you need to follow to apply for remodeling permits

Our team would help you understand the design requirements for getting such permits.
