Palo Alto Construction FAQ
Do you build ADUs in Palo Alto?+
Yes — detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, and JADUs, all built to California state ADU law and Palo Alto's local ADU ordinance.
Can you work on Eichler homes?+
Yes. We've remodeled multiple Eichlers in Palo Alto and understand the structural quirks — radiant slabs, post-and-beam framing, and tongue-and-groove roofs.
How long do Palo Alto permits typically take?+
Simple permits can clear in a few weeks; full additions and ADUs typically run 2–4 months through Planning & Development Services depending on review scope.
