San Jose Contractor — Remodels, ADUs & Real Estate
Design-build construction, ADUs, permits, real estate, and financing in San Jose — from our Sunnyvale headquarters, minutes away.
San Jose is the Bay Area's biggest remodeling market: nearly a million residents, vast tracts of 1950s–1980s housing stock with strong bones and dated interiors, and lot sizes that make ADUs genuinely feasible. Whether you own an Eichler-influenced ranch in Willow Glen, a split-level in Almaden, or a Victorian near downtown, the playbook is the same — modernize the kitchen, open the floor plan, add legal square footage.
We work through San Jose's permitting system every month. The city runs most residential permits through the SJePermits online portal, offers express/same-day review for limited scopes, and has made real progress on ADU streamlining with pre-approved plan programs. Knowing which track your project qualifies for is worth weeks.
Permits in San Jose
San Jose Building Division permits run through the SJePermits portal (200 E. Santa Clara St. for in-person). Typical 2026 timelines: same-day express for water heaters/re-roofs; 2–6 weeks for kitchen/bath; 6–12 weeks for additions; ADUs within the state 60-day cap, faster with city pre-approved plans.
