Los Gatos Contractor — Remodels, ADUs & Real Estate
Design-build construction, ADUs, permits, real estate, and financing in Los Gatos — from our Sunnyvale headquarters, minutes away.
Los Gatos blends resort-town charm with serious wealth: a historic downtown, top schools, and housing that runs from Victorian-era cottages to hillside estates. The town protects that character deliberately — historic districts, hillside development standards, design review with teeth — and construction here must respect both the architecture and the process.
Our Los Gatos work splits between in-town renovations (opening up early-1900s and mid-century homes while keeping their face) and hillside projects where drainage, retaining, and access drive cost as much as finishes do. Both reward experience; neither forgives shortcuts.
Permits in Los Gatos
Town of Los Gatos Community Development (110 E. Main St.) applies design review broadly: kitchens/baths 3–7 weeks, additions 2–4 months (longer with historic or hillside overlay), hillside projects under specific grading/drainage standards. ADUs hold the 60-day state clock, including in hillside zones.

Los Gatos FAQs
What do Los Gatos remodels cost?+
Top-tier county pricing alongside Saratoga and Palo Alto: kitchens $90K–$220K, whole-home remodels $350–$600/sq ft, hillside projects premium to that (access, retaining, drainage). The 95030 resale market supports it.
What's different about hillside construction?+
Everything below the floor: geotechnical reports, engineered foundations and retaining, drainage design, fire-zone hardening, and constrained access that slows every delivery. Budgets that ignore those line items aren't budgets — ours start with them.
Can I remodel a historic Los Gatos home?+
Yes, within the town's historic preservation framework: exterior changes in districts get reviewed for compatibility, while interiors are generally yours to transform. We've found the town reasonable when applications respect the architecture — which ours do by design.
Are ADUs allowed in the Los Gatos hills?+
State law applies in hillside zones too — ministerial approval within 60 days for compliant units — though hillside site standards (grading, height, fire access) shape what 'compliant' means on your parcel. Feasibility review answers it before you spend on design.
