Kitchen Remodeling in Mountain View, CA

What needs a permit in a Mountain View kitchen

Mountain View's list of work that needs no permit includes painting, tiling, countertops and similar finish work, but it spells out that kitchen and bathroom cabinet replacement does need one. So a new backsplash and fresh paint can go ahead without paperwork, while new cabinets cannot. Knowing where that line falls early shapes both the budget and the schedule of a kitchen project.

New cabinets, plus whatever plumbing or electrical the plan moves, go through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. A fabrication shop measures and installs stone and quartz once the cabinets are set, and butcher block we install ourselves. Send photos of each wall of the kitchen. Construction deliveries follow the same weekday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. window as the work itself.

Painting, tiling, countertops and similar finish work need no permit in Mountain View, but the City notes that replacing kitchen or bathroom cabinets does.

Value for money and flexible to work with. Would definitely hire them again, for all jobs around the house.

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.
