Remodeling in Campbell

Orchard City remodeling, done the way these tract homes deserve.

Campbell grew tract by tract out of orchard land after the war, and the houses show it: solid, modest postwar homes on friendly lots, a walkable downtown that keeps getting better, and a hundred and forty odd properties on the city's historic inventory that carry the Orchard City's memory. It is exactly the housing that repays a thoughtful remodel, and it is fifteen minutes from our Santa Clara showroom.

The remodels we are asked for here are the honest ones: kitchens opened up to the back yard, hall bathrooms rebuilt properly, garages converted now that the commute lives in the spare bedroom, and ADUs on the deeper lots.

City hall, handled

Permits in Campbell, handled for you.

Campbell's Building Division approves plans and issues permits for all construction in the city, with applications filed online through the MGO Connect portal. We create the application, upload the full package, answer plan check and meet the inspectors, all inside your fixed-price contract.

Campbell is also part of the countywide ADU collaborative, with published resources and plan galleries, and the city posts sample ADU plan-check sets so applicants can see exactly what a complete package looks like. That is the standard our submittals meet on the first pass.

Two local wrinkles we design around: properties on the historic resource inventory, where changes should go through planning review under the city's historic design guidelines, and the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan, which puts its own standards, larger side setbacks tied to wall height and greener front yards, on about a square mile and a half of southwest Campbell. If your house is in the San Tomas area, the plan shapes the addition, and we draw to it from the start.

The housing stock

What Campbell homes ask for.

A Campbell postwar ranch wants its kitchen to stop being a corridor, its electrical panel to stop being from the Eisenhower administration, and its back yard to earn its keep. Kitchen and bath remodels, additions and garage conversions cover most of what we are called for here.

On the deeper lots, ADUs pencil well: state law keeps approval ministerial on a 60-day clock, holds side and rear setbacks to four feet, and bars replacement-parking requirements when a garage converts. For a family bridging generations or an owner offsetting a mortgage, it is the strongest square footage in the city.

Campbell questions

What Campbell homeowners ask us.

How do permits work in Campbell?

The Building Division issues all construction permits, filed online through MGO Connect. We prepare the drawings, file, answer every plan-check round and schedule the inspections. You never chase the city.

What is the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan?

A set of neighborhood-specific standards covering roughly a square mile and a half of southwest Campbell, with larger side setbacks tied to building height and requirements for greener front setbacks. If your home is inside it, your addition is designed to those rules from day one.

Can I convert my garage in Campbell?

Almost always. Conversions run as habitable space or as a full ADU, and state law bars the city from demanding replacement parking when a garage becomes an ADU. We handle the drawings, the permit and the build.

Do you work on Campbell's historic homes?

Yes. Changes to inventory properties should go through planning review under the city's historic design guidelines, and we prepare packages that respect both the house and the process.
