Hillsborough, CA | Luxury Home Remodeling
Luxury kitchen, bath, whole-home, additions & ADUs in Hillsborough · San Mateo County, CA
Hillsborough is unlike any other town on the Peninsula, and remodeling here demands a builder who understands that difference. Incorporated in 1910 as an exclusively residential town, Hillsborough has no commercial zoning and enforces a half-acre minimum lot size, which means nearly every project is a private estate surrounded by mature landscaping and set well back from the street. Our team specializes in high-end kitchen, primary-suite, and whole-home renovations built to match the scale and craftsmanship these homes deserve.
Call us at (408) 889-8115 to schedule a private in-home consultation.
Renovations That Respect Hillsborough’s Architecture
The town’s historic housing stock reflects the grand styles San Francisco families favored when they built country estates here in the 1910s through the 1940s: Tudor Revival with half-timbering and steep gables, Mediterranean Revival with clay-tile roofs and arched loggias, French Norman with turrets and stone facades, and Georgian Colonial with formal symmetry. In lower Hillsborough’s Ryan Tract, you also find Mid-century Modern, California Rancher, and Spanish-style homes built across several decades.
We tailor every remodel to the character of the house. That means sourcing the right natural stone, milling custom white-oak cabinetry, and detailing steel-frame windows and millwork that read as original rather than added. Whether you own a Tudor estate near the country club or a Rancher on a flat Ryan Tract lot, we protect the qualities that make the home worth preserving while bringing the systems, kitchens, and baths fully up to modern standards.
Permitting and Project Management Done Right
Hillsborough is one of the few towns on the Peninsula that operates its own Building Division rather than relying on a county agency. Permits, plan review, and inspections all run through Town Hall on Floribunda Avenue, and the review process is rigorous by design. We manage that process end to end: preparing complete plan sets, coordinating with the Building and Planning divisions, and scheduling inspections so your project stays on track.
From first design sketch to final walkthrough, you work with one accountable team that treats your home and your neighborhood with the discretion an estate community expects.
