Building in Los Gatos & Monte Sereno
A lot of Los Gatos and Monte Sereno homes sit on hillside lots. Hillside projects follow the Town of Los Gatos hillside development standards, and slopes can call for soils reports, drainage plans and deeper foundations. Access for crews and materials on narrow mountain roads also shapes the schedule and budget, so we plan for it from day one.
Questions Los Gatos & Monte Sereno homeowners ask
Do you work on hillside homes in Los Gatos?
Yes. We rebuilt the exterior of a mountainside home in the Los Gatos hills and remodeled its primary suite. Steep sites need extra planning for foundations, drainage and access, and we build that into the design and the budget.
How fast can you remodel a rental in Monte Sereno?
It depends on scope, but we remodeled the kitchen, living areas and bath of one Monte Sereno rental in under six weeks, using durable finishes and handling the HOA approvals.
Do Los Gatos hillside additions take longer to permit?
They can. Hillside lots often need extra reports and reviews, which can add review cycles. We start those early so they don’t hold up the schedule.
