Kitchen Remodeling in Atherton, CA | Junior Elite Services

Kitchen remodel deliveries under Atherton's street rules

A kitchen remodel runs on deliveries: cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures. Under the Town's municipal code, delivery and pick-up vehicles may not arrive before 8 a.m., must leave by 5 p.m. and must shut their engines off while loading or unloading, and blocking a street for more than five minutes is a violation. Parking anywhere other than on site or in front of the job takes a written alternate plan, and review can take up to three business days.

Cabinet and counter deliveries get lined up inside that window, and the street stays clear. Cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work need no building permit in Atherton, but moving the sink, gas or wiring does, and that part is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Once the boxes are level, a stone shop measures and installs quartz or stone tops; butcher block we fit ourselves.

Worth knowing about Atherton

Atherton has only two residential zones, R-1A with a 1-acre minimum lot and R-1B with 13,500 square feet, and no commercial or industrial land.
The Housing Element puts the largest block of housing (1,087 units) in 1940 to 1959 and counts 606 acre-plus lots with a house built before 1970.
Joe Eichler's own Lindenwood home, designed by Anshen and Allen, was built in 1951; only a few of the large Eichlers he later built there still stand.

5.0★★★★★

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.

Kitchens in Atherton: questions

Do you work in Atherton?

Yes. Atherton is about 18 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 27 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Lindenwood to West Atherton.

Who issues permits in Atherton?

The Town of Atherton Building Department. 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 Atherton?

Construction, deliveries and servicing on a job site are allowed only 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, with no work on Saturdays, Sundays or Town holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Plan on several weeks for a full remodel, much of it waiting on cabinets and counters. We sequence the work so the kitchen is out of service for as little time as possible.
