Home Remodeling in Mountain View: What Homeowners Should Know

Planning a remodel in Mountain View, CA? Permits, popular projects and how to plan a smooth renovation.

Popular projects

Mountain View homeowners commonly update kitchens and bathrooms, open up floor plans, add ADUs and upgrade older single-family homes and townhomes.

Permits

The City of Mountain View requires permits for most structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. Your contractor should prepare drawings and handle submittal and inspections.

Townhomes and HOAs

Many Mountain View homes are in HOAs. Get association approval for exterior changes, windows and sometimes flooring before work begins.

Plan the sequence

Finalize design and selections before demolition, and build in time for plan review. That keeps the build itself fast and predictable.
