Remodeling Bathrooms in Moraga Homes
Most Moraga homes were built before the Town incorporated in 1974. Their bathrooms are ready for new layouts, larger showers, better lighting and ventilation, and modern plumbing. Because Town and County records are mostly from 1986 onward, we often start with an as-built survey of the existing bathroom before design.

A Shorter Path for Interior Work
Moraga gives interior-only remodels a shortcut. If walls, windows and the garage size do not change, the project can go straight to the County for a building permit without Town Planning approval. Change a window or the exterior, and Town Planning review comes first.
One Moraga-specific step: the Moraga-Orinda Fire District reviews plans for all home changes, including interior remodels, so we include MOFD in the schedule from the start.
