Whole-House Remodel in Mountain View: FAQ
Answers to common questions from Mountain View homeowners.
A comprehensive Mountain View whole-house remodel takes 6-10 months of construction, plus 2-3 months for design and permitting. Eichler whole-house remodels with slab work and system replacements typically take 8-10 months. Projects that add square footage or a second story can extend to 10-12 months.
Remodeling your Eichler almost always makes more financial sense. A fully remodeled Eichler in Mountain View commands $2.5-$3.5M+, and you preserve your Prop 13 tax basis. Buying an already-renovated Eichler — if you can find one — costs a premium, and you lose your tax advantage. Plus, a remodel lets you customize every detail to your preferences.
This is our specialty. We preserve the elements that make Eichlers iconic — post-and-beam ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, open floor plans, indoor-outdoor flow — while upgrading kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, systems, and insulation to modern luxury standards. We use 3D renderings to show you exactly how modern finishes will complement your home's mid-century bones.
Most Mountain View homes benefit from electrical panel upgrades (to 200-amp or 320-amp for EV charging), new plumbing (replacing galvanized with PEX), HVAC installation or replacement (Eichlers often lack central air), insulation upgrades, and new windows. We assess every system and recommend upgrades based on age, condition, and your budget.
For phased remodels, sometimes — though it requires flexibility and tolerance for construction activity. For full gut renovations, we recommend temporarily relocating. Mountain View has excellent short-term rental options, and most clients find that living off-site allows faster construction and lower stress.
Our fixed-price contract locks in the total cost before construction begins. The price we quote is the price you pay — no cost-plus markups, no allowance games, no surprise change orders. For Eichler remodels where hidden conditions are possible (slab issues, obsolete plumbing), we include appropriate contingency and discuss any discoveries transparently.
