Why Local Expertise Matters

Lafayette is not a generic suburb. Each neighborhood—Happy Valley's sprawling estates, Burton Valley's family-focused blocks, Reliez Valley's rural character, and Downtown's charming cottages—has its own building traditions, permit hurdles, and design language.

We know Lafayette's zoning code inside-out. Tree protection rules, grading permits, ADU limits (max 1,200 sq ft), setback requirements, and design review guidelines—we handle them all so you don't have to.

Our relationships with county building officials, inspectors, and local subcontractors mean your project stays on course. We speak the language of Contra Costa County's Building Inspection Department because we live it every day.

Most importantly: we treat your home as if it were ours. After 50+ years and 500+ projects, we've earned the trust of families across every Lafayette neighborhood. Your peace of mind is our standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Lafayette?

Most remodels in Lafayette don't require a full building permit if you're not moving walls or plumbing—but you always need a plan review. We handle this conversation with the Planning & Building Department so there's no confusion. When in doubt, pull the permit; it protects you.

What are the ADU size limits in Lafayette?

ADUs in Lafayette can be no larger than 1,200 square feet and no taller than 16 feet. Setbacks from property lines are a minimum of 4 feet on sides and rear. Class A and B ADUs are approved quickly; Class C requires an ADU permit. We manage all three paths.

How does residential design review work in Lafayette?

New construction, major additions, and some remodels go through Lafayette's Design Review Commission to ensure they fit neighborhood character. We prepare designs that pass review on the first try by understanding local guidelines—grading, tree preservation, and architectural harmony with your neighborhood.

Do I need an arborist report or tree protection plan?

Lafayette has strict tree protection rules. Any construction near existing trees may require a report. We coordinate with licensed arborists, submit the required documentation, and ensure your project doesn't trigger unnecessary delays.

Who pays for permits and inspections?

Permit fees are paid to the City of Lafayette Planning & Building Department and Contra Costa County Building Department. We'll estimate these upfront so there's no surprise. County inspection fees are separate; we arrange all inspections at no extra cost.

Can I get a free estimate or consultation?

Yes. We offer a free site visit and consultation to understand your project scope and goals. We'll walk you through next steps, answer questions about permits and neighborhood guidelines, and provide a clear proposal.
