Why Lexington Hills Homes Are Different
Lexington Hills sits in the Santa Cruz Mountains, unincorporated Santa Cruz County, where nearly every remodel triggers conversations about ignition-resistant construction and defensible space. Most homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, often as mountain cabins that grew over time: wood siding, wood decks, aging roofs, and single-pane windows. That housing stock is a real liability now. When a homeowner adds a room or reworks a kitchen, the county frequently requires the whole structure to meet current WUI (wildland-urban interface) standards, which means Class-A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and non-combustible siding on any new or replaced surface. Add in steep, wooded lots with private wells and septic, and you’re not doing a generic remodel. You’re doing a mountain-home upgrade that has to satisfy a stricter set of rules than anything in San Jose or Los Gatos. Roads like those off Old Santa Cruz Highway twist and narrow quickly; material staging happens at the bottom of driveways, and smaller equipment shuttles everything up. We plan every Lexington Hills job around those realities from day one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lexington Hills Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Lexington Hills homeowners: full general contracting and complete home remodeling. Both are shaped by the same mountain conditions.
General Contractor in Lexington Hills
Most Lexington Hills projects need a general contractor who understands county permitting, fire-hardening requirements, and access constraints before the first material is ordered. Whether it’s an addition, a structural repair, or a teardown of a failing deck, the job runs through Santa Cruz County and often involves septic and well setbacks that flatland builders never think about. We coordinate permits, inspections, and all trades, so homeowners aren’t chasing three separate crews up the mountain. That single-point accountability matters more here than almost anywhere else in the South Bay. See how we run full-scope projects on our General Contractor in Lexington Hills page.
Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills
Remodeling in Lexington Hills usually means bringing a 40-year-old mountain house up to current code while preserving what made it worth buying: the redwood views, the quiet, the cabin feel. Kitchens and baths are the most common starting points, but nearly every project expands once we open walls and find old wiring, undersized framing, or rot from decades of mountain moisture. We handle the whole scope, from demolition through finish work, with brand-name materials the homeowner selects rather than whatever is on a builder’s default list. Our Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills page breaks down what a mountain remodel actually involves and what it costs.

Home Renovation in Lexington Hills
Home renovation in Lexington Hills is a county-regulated, terrain-constrained job that starts with the structure and ends with the finishes. Houses here were built for a different era of fire risk and building code; opening up a kitchen or adding square footage almost always requires bringing the shell up to current ignition-resistant standards. That’s the work we specialize in. Brookside Contractors has served Lexington Hills since 2011, and our Home Renovation process is built around the realities of mountain construction: fire-season scheduling, erosion control, and material staging on narrow roads. A full renovation in Lexington Hills typically runs from a targeted $45,000 addition or major interior rework up to $130,000 for projects that touch structure, envelope, and finished space.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
If you’re juggling a structural repair, a county-mandated fire upgrade, and a kitchen remodel at once, a single renovation contractor with mountain experience keeps the job coherent.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
Full-scale renovation with a general contractor in Lexington Hills generally falls between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage and how much of the envelope has to change.
How we do it
We survey the lot and access first, order materials that meet Chapter 7A requirements, then run the permit path, demo, rough-in, and finish work with one accountable crew.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
Multiple small projects piling up – a tired bathroom, a leaking skylight, siding that’s cupping – usually means it’s time to hire one improvement contractor instead of four separate trades.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
A scoped improvement package in Lexington Hills usually starts around $30,000 when it includes a garage conversion, and runs higher as kitchens, baths, or envelope work enter the scope.
How we do it
We bundle the trades under one schedule, sequence work so the house stays livable, and order all materials to stage at the bottom of steep driveways when trucks can’t get up.

What Lexington Hills Customers Say
"Quality construction and a professional operation. Communication was strongest at the site meetings, and slower by email in between."
— Carmen Vargas"Allowances in the contract were realistic rather than artificially low to make the bid look good."
— Paige Reed"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
— Darius Dawson
