Same-footprint bathroom remodels in Palo Alto
Palo Alto requires a building permit for home remodels, but it offers an Instant Building Permit for some minor jobs, mostly at detached single-family homes and duplexes. A bathroom remodel inside the existing footprint, with no structural work, is one of them. Structural changes or a bigger room take the project off that list, which makes the layout the first decision worth settling.
Permitted remodel work is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Plenty of bathroom fixes need no permit at all: re-caulking a tub, re-grouting a shower, resetting a loose toilet. Send photos of the whole room and a close one of any soft spot or cracked grout, and Junior will say if it calls for a repair or a remodel.
Worth knowing about Palo Alto

- Professorville, settled by Stanford faculty in the 1890s, is a National Register district with 105 contributing homes built between the 1890s and 1929, many sided in wood shingle.
- The City's Eichler guidelines describe post-and-beam framing on a concrete slab, radiant heat embedded in the slab, redwood siding, flat roofs and interior walls often paneled in mahogany.

Thumbtack reviews five stars on every review shown
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.

Professional, quick and clean work recaulking our tub and kitchen sink! They also replaced a lightbulb and consulted on another project. Will use them in the future. Thank you, Junior!
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.

Who issues permits in Palo Alto?
The City of Palo Alto Planning and Development Services (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 Palo Alto?
Construction, deliveries included, is allowed 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, with no construction on Sundays or City 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.
