Our Design-Build Services for Belmont Homeowners
We offer a holistic approach to renovation, managing every step from the initial architectural drawings to the final inspection.
Hillside Construction & Structural Engineering
Belmont’s “San Juan Hills” and “Western Hills” districts offer stunning views but present significant building challenges. Standard contractors often struggle with the geotechnical requirements of these areas.
- Pier & Beam Foundations: We specialize in drilling deep pier foundations necessary to stabilize homes on shifting clay soils common in the Belmont hills.
- Retaining Walls: We design and build structural retaining walls that maximize your usable yard space while preventing erosion.
- Decking & Cantilevers: Expand your living space outward with structural decks that capture the Bay views without compromising safety.
Luxury Kitchen Remodels
Many Belmont homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, featuring galley kitchens that feel isolated from the rest of the house. We specialize in structural wall removal to create the open-concept “Great Rooms” that modern families crave. We install custom shaker cabinetry, professional-grade appliances (Wolf/Sub-Zero), and durable quartz countertops, transforming your kitchen into the true heart of the home.
Custom ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units)
With lot sizes in Belmont often exceeding the Peninsula average, backyard cottages are a smart investment. Whether for rental income or a private suite for aging parents, we design ADUs that blend seamlessly with your main property.
- Hillside ADUs: We navigate the complexities of building an ADU on a sloped lot, including managing grade differentials and sewer pump systems.
- Garage Conversions: For flat lots, we can convert detached garages into fully legal, 1-bedroom apartments.
Spa-Inspired Bathroom Renovations
Turn your master bath into a sanctuary. We handle everything from replacing outdated plumbing lines to installing radiant heated floors, steam showers, and freestanding soaking tubs. We pay special attention to waterproofing, ensuring your new wet room remains pristine for decades.
Navigating Belmont’s Building Codes
Building in Belmont is strictly regulated to preserve the city’s semi-rural character. The City of Belmont Building Division: requires rigorous documentation, particularly for projects involving grading or second-story additions.
Hillside Development Regulations: Belmont enforces specific “Floor Area Ratios” (FAR) that change based on the slope of your lot. Our team is experienced in calculating these slope densities to determine exactly how much square footage you can legally add to your home. We work with geotechnical engineers to provide the soil reports required for permitting.
Wildfire Safety & Hardscaping: Many parts of Belmont are within the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). We use fire-resistant exterior materials, such as fiber cement siding and enclosed eaves, and design “defensible space” landscaping to meet local fire codes, ensuring your home is as safe as it is stylish.
For specific questions regarding permits, we recommend visiting the City of Belmont Permit Center or reviewing their Hillside Development standards.
