Remodeling Company in Sunnyvale, CA
Home renovation in Sunnyvale means working with houses that are 60 to 70 years old, built on slab foundations, with wiring and plumbing that predate modern code. We’re San Bruno Construction, and we handle full-scope residential remodeling here, from kitchen teardowns to whole-home rewires to ADU additions. What makes Sunnyvale work different is the city’s design-review process and Title 24 energy requirements, both of which we navigate on every permit pull. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate on your project.
Why Sunnyvale Homes Are Different
Sunnyvale construction is defined by the collision of two eras. The 94086 and 94087 ZIPs hold thousands of 1950s and 1960s Eichler and ranch tract homes: original single-pane glass, slab-on-grade foundations, shallow roof overhangs, and aluminum branch wiring that fails modern insurance inspections. These houses now sell for $2M or more as teardowns, which means every remodel we open has to account for what we’re going to find behind the drywall. At the same time, Downtown Sunnyvale and the Peery Park tech corridor are filling in with high-density townhomes and condos, where remodels run through strict HOA review and Neighborhood Preservation standards. A kitchen remodel in the Birdland neighborhood will hit different code triggers than a bathroom refresh near Cherry Chase. The city’s inspectors are known to flag original aluminum wiring during rough-in, so if a wall comes down, a rewire is usually not optional. Add in lead and asbestos abatement on pre-1978 homes, and you get a clear picture: Sunnyvale remodels are closer to structural projects than cosmetic updates.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Sunnyvale Services
Sunnyvale homeowners call us most often about two things: full general contracting for large projects, and whole-home remodeling that touches multiple rooms at once. Here’s how each works in this city.
General Contractor in Sunnyvale
When a Sunnyvale project spans framing, roofing, windows, plumbing rough-in, electrical, and finishes, someone has to hold the schedule together. That’s our role. We coordinate every licensed trade under one contract, which matters in a city where the Planning Department reviews elevations, setbacks, and Title 24 compliance before a hammer swings. If you’re adding square footage near Ponderosa Park or doing a soft-story retrofit on a 1960s two-story, we run the permits, the inspections, and the sub-scheduling so you don’t have to. General Contractor in Sunnyvale covers the full scope.
Home Remodeling in Sunnyvale
Whole-home remodeling in Sunnyvale almost always starts with what’s hidden: galvanized pipes, aluminum wiring, and single-pane windows that leak heat all summer. We plan those system upgrades into the remodel from day one, then layer kitchens, baths, flooring, and finishes on top. The goal is a house that meets current code without losing the mid-century character that makes 94087 homes worth keeping. Home Remodeling in Sunnyvale walks through the process in detail.

Home Renovation in Sunnyvale
Home renovation in Sunnyvale solves a specific problem: houses built in the 1950s and 1960s were not designed for how families live now. Original single-pane windows, galley kitchens, one bathroom, and aluminum wiring all have to change for the house to work. And because Sunnyvale sits on the edge of the Santa Cruz Mountains, any renovation has to account for seismic shear and winter rain intrusion at original roof flashings. We also coordinate the city’s design-review process so permits don’t stall. For a deeper look at how we structure a whole-home project, see Home Renovation.

How long does a whole-home renovation take in Sunnyvale?
A kitchen or bathroom remodel runs 6 to 10 weeks, but a whole-home renovation with system upgrades in Sunnyvale usually takes 4 to 8 months because of the city’s inspection calendar and any required rewire or repipe.
Will Sunnyvale’s inspectors require a rewire during renovation?
If your home still has original aluminum branch wiring, yes, Sunnyvale inspectors frequently flag it during rough-in. Budget for a full rewire on any remodel that opens walls. Call (866) 472-1908 for a scope review.
