We’ve served Scotts Valley since 2016, and we coordinate every licensed trade so you never have to chase three different crews. Call (866) 472-1908 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Scotts Valley Homes Are Different
Scotts Valley isn’t a flat subdivision town. The housing stock leans heavily toward 1960s-80s ranch and split-level homes built onto grades that were convenient for their time but rarely engineered for today’s drainage and seismic standards. Many lots sit within the wildland-urban interface, so any exterior work – siding, roofing, deck enclosures, windows – bumps into fire-hardening requirements that flat-lot cities never see. The winter atmospheric-river storms that roll through the Santa Cruz Mountains regularly expose retaining walls that were stacked decades ago without permits or proper drainage. Redwood and oak root systems up here are shallow and aggressive, which forces pier-and-grade-beam foundation designs on additions and ADU builds. Add the Santa Cruz County grading, erosion, and fire-clearance review layered on top of city building permits, and you have a permitting process that rewards contractors who’ve done it before. That’s the kind of work we take on every week in the 95066 and 95067 ZIP codes.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Scotts Valley Services
Most Scotts Valley homeowners reach out for two things: a general contractor who can manage an entire project from permits to punch list, or a full home remodel that brings an older hillside house up to modern standards without fighting the terrain.
General Contractor in Scotts Valley
Hiring a single general contractor in Scotts Valley means one person owns the schedule, the subs, the material orders, and the inspection calls. On sloped lots with fire-clearance and county drainage reviews, that coordination is the difference between a six-month project and an eighteen-month one. We pull permits, schedule the county reviews, order from 50+ vetted brands, and keep the job moving. Read more about the full scope here: General Contractor in Scotts Valley.
Home Remodeling in Scotts Valley
Home remodeling in Scotts Valley usually starts with a 1970s split-level that needs a new kitchen, two bathrooms, and a retaining wall nobody wants to think about. We stage the work so interior trades and exterior drainage run in parallel instead of stacking delays. Cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures, and windows all come from lines we know hold up in a mountain-valley climate with wet winters and dry fire seasons. For the detailed breakdown, see Home Remodeling in Scotts Valley.

Home Renovation in Scotts Valley
Home renovation in Scotts Valley is different from a flat-lot remodel in San Jose or Campbell. The hillside lots, the older 1960s-80s housing stock, and the fire-hardening and drainage requirements mean that even a kitchen job often drags foundation, retaining wall, and ember-resistant vent work into the scope. San Bruno Construction takes the full Home Renovation approach: one contractor, every phase, from countertops to rooflines to ADUs. We coordinate the trades so you don’t have to.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
Multiple rooms need work at once, or a single project keeps uncovering structural and drainage issues that a specialty contractor won’t touch.
What it costs in Scotts Valley
Whole-home renovation through a general contractor in Scotts Valley typically runs $45,000-$130,000 depending on square footage, slope work, and fire-hardening scope.
How we do it
We assess the full property first – drainage, structure, envelope – then sequence trades so interior and exterior work move together without rework.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
You have a list of upgrades that don’t fit one trade: kitchen counters, a failing retaining wall, old single-pane windows, and a deck with dry rot.
What it costs in Scotts Valley
Targeted multi-trade renovations in Scotts Valley commonly fall between $14,000 for a kitchen and $45,000 for a kitchen plus bath and exterior envelope work.
How we do it
We bundle the trades under one schedule and one line-item quote, pulling permits once instead of piecemeal.

How long does a home renovation take in Scotts Valley?
Plan on four to nine months for a whole-home renovation. The hillside drainage and fire-clearance reviews add two to six weeks at the front end compared to flat-lot cities. Call (866) 472-1908 for a realistic timeline on your specific scope.
Do I need county approval for a Scotts Valley renovation?
Many projects do, especially anything that disturbs soil, adds square footage, or changes the exterior envelope. We handle the city and county submittals together so the reviews don’t stall your schedule. Call (866) 472-1908 to find out what your project triggers.

What Scotts Valley Customers Say
"Weekly site meeting, every week, with a written summary afterward. I always knew where the money and the schedule stood."
— Tim Pruitt"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Nathan Barrett"Excellent build. Costs came in about six percent over the original contract, driven mostly by material price movement during the build, which he documented each time."
— Todd Sutton
