Bathroom Projects
Bathrooms from Old Mountain View to Monta Loma
Mountain View became a town in 1902, after growing from an 1849 stagecoach stop to a railroad town on Castro Street. Its housing ranges from older homes near downtown to Monta Loma’s more than 200 Eichlers from the mid-1950s. We remodel bathrooms in both, from tight Eichler baths to full primary suites.
Electrification and Code Items
2025 Mountain View Green Building Code (permits submitted from January 1, 2026): new homes and ADUs need heat-pump space and water heating, solar, battery-ready wiring and a Level 2 charger of at least 40 amps.
