Repair lists for Hillsborough's owner-occupied homes
Owners live in 93.5% of Hillsborough's occupied homes, and the Town has kept a half-acre minimum lot since 1953. Lots that size often include fence line, gates, decks and patios along with the house. Small repairs pile up across all of it, and it makes sense to hand the whole list to one crew rather than book a separate trade for each item.
Hillsborough's permit list names fences, gates and decks, so anything beyond a small repair on those is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Work and deliveries run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 10 to 5 on Saturdays, and police enforce the rule against crews gathering before 8. A photo per item, texted to (650) 784-2770, gets you a price fastest.
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.
- The Town says many Hillsborough properties and homes lie within the Wildland Urban Interface, and it maps North, South and West WUI fire zones.

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 team were professional and went above and beyond. We have found our new handyman!
Value for money and flexible to work with. Would definitely hire them again, for all jobs around the house.
Handyman 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.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A lot of our work is exactly that: a door, a stain on the ceiling, a TV, a few lines of caulk. If the list is short, we try to fit it into a single visit.
