Kitchen remodel debris rules in Redwood City

Redwood City applies construction and demolition recycling rules to all new construction, all demolition, all roofing jobs and any other project valued at $50,000 or more. A Waste Management Plan goes in through Redwood City Waste Tracking (Green Halo) before the building permit is issued, and a Debris Disposal & Diversion Report with recycling receipts is due before the final inspection. Whether a kitchen job triggers the plan depends on its scope, and that gets settled before the permit.

A relocated sink or new circuits take a permit, and that part is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Any dumpster stays on the property, because a bin on the street draws a $100 citation the first day, $200 the second and $500 every day after that. Stone and quartz tops come from a fabricator who templates them after the cabinets are leveled; butcher block we install ourselves.

Worth knowing about Redwood City

Of Redwood City's 32,135 housing units, 64.2% were built before 1980 and 8.1% in 1939 or earlier; the 1950s alone account for 21.2%.
Several Queen Anne cottages from before 1906 stand in Mezesville, a historic district in the Centennial neighborhood whose streets are named for Mayflower pilgrims.
Redwood Shores is about 1,500 acres of former Bay marshland that Leslie Salt diked for salt evaporation after buying it in 1928; the city annexed it in 1959.

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.

Kitchens in Redwood City: questions

Do you work in Redwood City?

Yes. Redwood City is about 15 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 22 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Mt. Carmel to Friendly Acres.

Who issues permits in Redwood City?

The City of Redwood City Community Development Department, Building Division (Building & Code Enforcement). 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 Redwood City?

Construction may run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and contractors can't work weekends or City holidays without written approval from the Building Official, requested 30 calendar days before construction starts. 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.
