The 1920s–40s bungalows and Spanish and Tudor homes on Willow Glen's tree-shaded streets, around Lincoln Avenue and through Palm Haven and Lincoln Glen, have been earning their keep for close to a century, and they take a careful hand to remodel. The trade works like this: the kitchens, baths, and systems get modernized for the way you live now, while the porches, plaster, and original windows keep doing what they've always done. And because Palm Haven is a designated conservation area, exterior work there gets an extra measure of care.

We've been remodeling South Bay homes since 2012, and every Willow Glen job gets the same setup: one family, one crew, one person who knows your house. We draw the plans, pull City of San Jose permits, and handle Title 24, so your only homework is choosing finishes you'll love.

Willow Glen’s permits go through the City of San Jose. We’ve been building across the South Bay since 2012, and we’ve worked with every local building department.

Willow Glen remodeling: common questions
Do you handle permits for Willow Glen remodels?
Yes. Willow Glen is part of the City of San Jose, so we pull every permit through the City's Planning, Building & Code Enforcement (PBCE) department and manage inspections for you. Palm Haven is a designated City of San José conservation area, so exterior changes there can call for added historic-character review. We handle that as part of the job.
How much does a remodel cost in Willow Glen?
Most kitchens start around $30,000 and bathrooms around $15,000, depending on scope and finishes; older homes sometimes need wiring or plumbing updates that affect the budget. We give a free, fixed-price estimate up front. See our cost guide.
Which Willow Glen neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them: Willow Glen along Lincoln Avenue, Palm Haven, and Lincoln Glen, plus the surrounding San Jose and South Bay.
How do you modernize a 1920s Willow Glen bungalow without ruining its charm?
We keep the character that's on display: the front porch, plaster walls, and original windows, and do the modernizing behind the walls, updating wiring, plumbing, kitchens, and baths. The result lives like a new home but still reads as the 1920s bungalow you fell for.

Also here: a burst supply line or a slow leak is the other reason we get called. We handle the repair and rebuild after a leak, once a certified crew has dried the structure out, plus repairs and permit and code resolution.
