Tile floors, showers and permits in Redwood City

CBC 105.2 sets the exemptions, and Redwood City's list includes painting, flooring and similar finish work; everything else needs a building permit. Re-tiling a floor usually lands on the exempt side, while a shower rebuilt around a new valve or drain does not. When a permit is issued, its card goes up on site, visible from the street.

Relocating a valve or drain turns the job into permitted work, contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Repairs start with matching: the cracked piece is cut out, the closest tile we can find goes in, and inside corners get flexible caulk, never grout. Large tiles need a flat floor, so we check it first and include any leveling in the estimate. Leftover tiles in the garage help.

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.

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.

Tile 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.

Can you replace just one cracked tile?

Yes, if we can find a match. Leftover tiles from the original job are the best case; otherwise we look for the closest match and tell you honestly how close it is.
