Bathroom remodels on Hillsborough's permit list

The Town's list of residential work that requires permits includes renovations of kitchens and bathrooms, along with plumbing and electrical work and water heaters. In Hillsborough, a bathroom remodel is permit work from the start. Not every bathroom needs that. Clearing out failed caulk and grout at the corners and re-sealing them often stops a leak without touching the plumbing.

Remodels are contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc, and our crew does the demo, waterproofing, tile, vanity and paint. Start with pictures of the shower corners and any tile that moves when pressed. The Town wants construction parking kept on site, so plan a spot in the driveway for the work truck.

Worth knowing about Hillsborough

  • Hillsborough incorporated in 1910 largely so estate owners could keep a rural setting; estates such as Uplands were subdivided between 1910 and 1938, and the half-acre minimum lot dates to 1953.
  • The 1970s added more of Hillsborough's 3,821 homes than any other decade (24.5%); overall 73.6% predate 1980, and 11.4% date to 1939 or earlier.
  • Hillsborough requires permits for kitchen, bathroom, garage and basement renovations, plus water heaters, fences, gates, re-roofing, plumbing, electrical and tree removal.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Bathrooms in Hillsborough: questions

Do you work in Hillsborough?

Yes. Hillsborough is about 5 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 9 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from North Hillsborough to South Hillsborough.

Who issues permits in Hillsborough?

The Town of Hillsborough Building & Planning Department, Building Division. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Hillsborough?

Construction work and deliveries are allowed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with no noise-producing work on Sundays or Town holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

It depends on the size and on what's behind the tile. A straightforward hall bath is usually a few weeks. You get a schedule with the estimate, and if demolition turns up a problem you hear about it that day.
