Our Exclusive Design-Build Services for Atherton Estates
We offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to enhance the value and livability of large-lot properties. As a family-owned company, we treat every project with the personalized attention it deserves.
Luxury Whole-Home Renovations
Atherton homes are renowned for their architectural diversity. Whether updating a 1950s ranch to a modern open concept or restoring a classic European-style manor, our team handles the entire scope. We manage structural engineering, interior design, and high-end finish work to create cohesive, breathtaking interiors that flow seamlessly into your outdoor living spaces.
Custom ADUs & Guest Houses
With Atherton’s expansive lot sizes (often exceeding one acre), Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become a premier investment for multi-generational living or private guest accommodations. We design detached ADUs that mirror the architectural integrity of your main residence. Whether you envision a poolside cabana, a private home office, or a fully independent guest house, we navigate the specific setback and privacy requirements mandated by the Town of Atherton.
Basement Excavations & Lower Levels
When height restrictions limit upward expansion, the smartest move is often to build down. Basement additions are increasingly popular in Atherton for adding hometheaters, wine cellars, gyms, or staff quarters without altering the exterior footprint. We specialize in the complex engineering required for safe excavation, ensuring proper waterproofing, light well integration, and structural reinforcement.
Estate Kitchens & Spa Bathrooms
The kitchen is the heart of the estate. We install professional-grade appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, La Cornue) and custom cabinetrythat defines luxury. For bathrooms, we create spa-like retreats featuring steam showers, radiant heated floors, and imported stone, turning your master suite into a daily vacation.
Navigating Atherton’s Strict Building Regulations
Building in Atherton is unlike building anywhere else in the Bay Area. The Town’s Building and Planning Departments enforce rigorous standards to preserve the community’s rural character and privacy. This is where Roy’s Builders demonstrates true value, we handle the red tape so you don’t have to.
Preserving Heritage Trees: Atherton takes its canopy seriously. The town strictly protects “Heritage Trees” (often Oaks, Redwoods, and Bays). Construction projects that impact the “drip line” of these trees require arborists’ reports and specific protection plans. We have extensive experience working around these natural assets, ensuring your remodel enhances your landscape without violating environmental codes.
Strict Setback & Height Limitations: To maintain privacy between neighbors, Atherton enforces significant setbacks (often 30+ feet for front yards) and strict daylight plane regulations. Our architects design within these constraints to maximize your buildable square footage while ensuring swift approval from the Planning Commission.
Basement & Light Well Code Compliance: Underground construction in Atherton is heavily regulated to prevent drainage issues and maintain aesthetics. We ensure all light wells are screened with landscaping (as required by local ordinance) and that all drainage systems meet the town’s stringent stormwater management requirements.
For more information on local specific guidelines, you can visit the official Town of Atherton Planning Department or review safety standards via the Menlo Park Fire Protection District, which serves the Atherton area.
