Remodeling Company in Mountain View, CA
Mountain View homeowners call us most often for full home renovation projects: kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, and whole-house updates on properties that were mostly built between 1948 and 1975. The work here has a particular rhythm because so much of the housing stock is original Eichler construction or classic ranch style, both of which need specialized handling when you open up walls or floors. Brookside Contractors has served Mountain View since 2011, and we know what hides behind the drywall in the 94040, 94041, 94042, and 94043 ZIP codes. Call (833) 725-3508 to talk through your project and get a free estimate.
Why Mountain View Homes Are Different
Mountain View’s post-war housing boom left the city with roughly five thousand Eichler homes, most concentrated in the Monta Loma, Rex Manor, and Springer Meadows tracts. Those houses run radiant heating loops through the concrete slab, which means any flooring replacement or kitchen remodel that touches the slab requires a pressure test on the tubing before demolition starts. We have seen too many homeowners discover a cracked radiant line only after new tile is already set, and the repair is disruptive and expensive. The ranch tracts in Cuesta Park and Waverly Park carry different issues: original 1960s electrical panels that need upgrading for induction ranges and EV chargers, plus bathroom layouts that were tight even when they were new. Add in Mountain View’s damp winters, when atmospheric-river storms drive water against flat Eichler roofs and low-slope ranch roofs, and you get a remodeling market where waterproofing details and drainage decisions matter as much as finish selections. The planning department reviews projects carefully here too, especially anything that touches the exterior envelope in the city’s older neighborhoods.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Mountain View Services
Two services generate most of our Mountain View work. Both benefit from having one contractor handle everything from structural changes through finishes, which eliminates the finger-pointing that happens when a homeowner juggles separate trades.
General Contractor in Mountain View
When a Mountain View project involves moving walls, cutting new window openings, or adding square footage, you need a licensed general contractor who pulls permits, schedules inspections, and keeps the whole job on track. We coordinate the structural engineer, the plumber, the electrician, the roofer, and the finish carpenters so you are not chasing subs across the Bay Area. Eichler homes especially demand a GC who understands post-and-beam framing: those exposed roof beams are structural, and the interior walls are not what they would be in a conventional stick-framed house. See our dedicated page for the full scope: General Contractor in Mountain View.
Home Remodeling in Mountain View
Remodeling in Mountain View usually means modernizing a mid-century home without gutting its character. Kitchen remodels here often involve removing the original partition wall that separated the galley kitchen from the living room, then engineering a beam to carry the roof load that wall was holding. Bathroom remodels in the original ranch tracts frequently require reworking the floor structure to accommodate larger showers and freestanding tubs. We handle everything from design intent to final paint, and we pull permits for every structural change so the work passes city inspection. Read more on our Home Remodeling in Mountain View page.

Home Renovation in Mountain View
Home renovation in Mountain View is different from remodeling a newer house. The 1950s and 60s housing stock here was built with materials and methods that worked for their time but now need real strategy: galvanized plumbing that has corroded, single-pane aluminum windows that sweat in winter, and electrical service that cannot support a modern kitchen, an EV charger, and a heat pump all at once. When you renovate an Eichler or a ranch home in these neighborhoods, the right sequence matters, because you do not want to open a wall twice. Our Home Renovation process handles the structural work, the mechanical upgrades, and the new finishes under one contract and one schedule.
Home Renovation Contractors
Full home renovation work in Mountain View nearly always starts with the systems you cannot see: the main electrical panel, the water supply lines, and the drainage. Original galvanized steel plumbing in 1950s tract homes is often at the end of its service life, and replacing it means opening walls and floors anyway, which is the smart time to update insulation and add lighting circuits. We sequence the job so mechanical work is completed and inspected before finish materials go in, which protects your investment and keeps the city inspector happy.
Signs you need it
You notice low water pressure, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, frequent breaker trips when you run a countertop appliance, or you are planning a remodel that will require structural changes anyway.
What it costs in Mountain View
Whole-home renovation in Mountain View typically falls between $45,000 and $130,000 for a home addition, with kitchen remodels ranging from $14,000 to $45,000 depending on scope.
How we do it
We start with a site assessment and a systems audit, then produce a written line-item bid, pull permits, complete structural and mechanical work first, and finish with fixtures, cabinets, and paint.
Home Renovators
Mountain View homeowners who have lived with an original Eichler kitchen for twenty years often want to open the space without losing the post-and-beam character that makes the house worth what it is. That means recessed ceiling work, careful beam wrapping or refinishing, and sometimes a new roof section over a bump-out. We match new materials to the existing architecture: flat-panel cabinet doors where the house calls for them, slab countertops that echo the minimalist lines, and tile that does not fight the original design language.
Signs you need it
Your 1950s kitchen has original cabinets, a closed-off layout, and no exhaust ventilation that meets current code, or you want to add light and storage without losing the home’s mid-century identity.
What it costs in Mountain View
Kitchen renovation in Mountain View runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a smaller kitchen remodel usually lands between $9,000 and $20,000.
How we do it
We document the existing framing and radiant layout, confirm beam paths with a structural engineer, demo with dust containment, and install new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances in a coordinated sequence.
Home Improvement Contractors
Home improvement in Mountain View often focuses on the exterior first, because the wet winters and dry summers put real stress on siding, windows, and roofing all year. Original wood siding on ranch homes swells and cracks, and the single-pane aluminum windows from the 1960s lose the fight against heat and cold. Upgrading to modern window systems and new siding pays back in comfort and utility bills, and it changes how the house performs during heat waves and storm weeks.
Signs you need it
You feel drafts near window frames, see peeling paint or rot at siding joints, or your summer cooling bills spike because the building envelope leaks conditioned air.
What it costs in Mountain View
Window replacement in Mountain View costs $4,500 to $15,000, and impact window installations run $8,000 to $25,000 for a full home depending on the systems you choose.
How we do it
We measure and order windows matched to the existing openings, remove old frames without damaging surrounding stucco or siding, install new units with proper flashing and air sealing, and re-trim both interior and exterior.
Home Renovation Companies
Choosing a renovation company in Mountain View means finding someone who will not disappear into the tech campus traffic after the first check clears. We are a general contractor with crews who understand mid-century construction, not a sales organization that subcontracts everything to the lowest bidder. Our project managers walk your job site weekly, and you have one phone number for every question, every change, and every inspection result.
Signs you need it
You want a whole-home renovation but do not want to coordinate an architect, a structural engineer, a plumber, an electrician, and a cabinet installer on your own.
What it costs in Mountain View
Most whole-home renovation projects in Mountain View land between $45,000 and $130,000, with garage conversions at $30,000 to $80,000 when you are adding living space rather than reworking existing rooms.
How we do it
We assign one project manager to your renovation, keep a written schedule you can review, order materials early so lead times do not stall the job, and walk you through every inspection milestone.

Prices in Mountain View run higher than the national average because the housing stock is older, materials need to meet stricter fire and energy codes, and many homes were built with post-and-beam framing that requires more structural work when you change a layout. We give you a written, line-item quote before work begins, and the price does not move unless you change the scope.

What Mountain View Customers Say
"Framing crew was meticulous and the walls are straight everywhere. Drywall goes on a lot better when the framing is right."
— Miguel Herrera"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Alma Delgado"The foundation survey came back dead on. Everything downstream of that being square is the reason the rest of the build went smoothly."
— Eric Ackerman
