Burlingame’s Eichler Homes: A Mid-Century Modern Legacy

Burlingame, CA is home to one of the Bay Area’s treasured mid-century neighborhoods – Mills Estates, where roughly 100 Eichler homes were built in the 1960s. These iconic homes, originally developed by Joseph Eichler, are larger models (often 4-5 bedrooms and over 2,000 sq. ft.) that showcase the hallmarks of mid-century modern architecture. Broad post-and-beam roofs, open-air atriums, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow define the Eichler style. Homeowners here enjoy an airy, light-filled living experience that truly “brings nature inside.” It’s no surprise that Eichler residences are celebrated as part of California’s architectural heritage and remain highly sought-after for their design and history. In fact, Eichler’s vision of creating affordable modernist architecture for the average family has left a lasting imprint on Burlingame and the entire Bay Area. Today, these mid-century marvels are experiencing a revival – many families are investing in updates, as noted in our blog on the revival of Eichler homes, to enjoy modern comforts without sacrificing that 1960s charm.

Owning an Eichler in Burlingame means you have a piece of architectural history – but it also means your home may be 50-70 years old and ready for some upgrades. Eichler home remodeling in Burlingame has become increasingly popular as homeowners seek to modernize kitchens, improve energy efficiency, and boost property value, all while preserving the unique look and feel of these homes. However, remodeling an Eichler is not like remodeling a typical house. It requires specialized knowledge of the Eichler construction methods and design philosophy. At GMJ Construction, our family-owned team has over 15 years of experience working on Eichlers and other mid-century homes. We understand the “Eichler difference” – the details that make these houses special – and we’re passionate about helping Burlingame Eichler owners enhance their homes without losing the soul of the original design.

Preserving Eichler Mid-Century Charm in Your Remodel

One of the biggest concerns for Eichler homeowners is preserving that classic mid-century character through a remodel. You love the exposed beams, open atrium, and minimalist lines – and so do we! The last thing you want is a renovation that erases those defining features. Unfortunately, many remodels done by inexperienced contractors can strip away the very qualities that make an Eichler an Eichler. You might end up with a beautiful modern home that just doesn’t feel like an Eichler anymore. Our philosophy is balance: we update your home for modern living while carefully protecting its mid-century modern essence. There’s an art to this balance – from choosing period-appropriate materials (like mahogany wall paneling or VCT flooring) to maintaining the iconic indoor-outdoor connections. For example, if an original wood accent wall has seen better days, we’d aim to restore or replace it with a similar wood species rather than covering it up with drywall. If you’re adding skylights or new windows, we position and size them to complement Eichler’s design (not randomly cutting into the roofline). We also pay attention to Eichler’s original color palettes and exterior styles, as choosing the right hues can make a huge difference (check out our tips on choosing paint colors for Eichler homes to see how mid-century color schemes can be used). Our goal is that after the remodel, your home still feels like an Eichler – just a refreshed, more functional version of itself. For some inspiration on keeping that vintage charm, see how others modernized their Eichler without losing its soul or read our expert tips on restoring Eichler homes’ authenticity.

Remodeling an Eichler also comes with unique do’s and don’ts. Over the years, we’ve seen certain Eichler remodeling mistakes that well-meaning homeowners or contractors often make. For instance, it’s usually a big mistake to remove or alter the atrium – that central courtyard is the heart of many Eichlers and provides light and airflow. Likewise, covering up the post-and-beam ceilings with a drop ceiling, or installing ornate moldings that clash with the clean lines, can diminish the home’s character. It’s important to use materials that “match” Eichler’s aesthetic: things like aluminum framed windows (for that thin profile), tongue-and-groove ceilings, and matching siding profiles. Even details like door styles matter (mid-century doors tend to be simple and flat – see some Eichler-friendly door styles we recommend). Our team knows these nuances by heart. We always aim to preserve or echo original elements – for example, if a kitchen needs a bigger footprint, we might extend into the atrium with glass walls so it still feels like part of the indoor-outdoor space. Planning an Eichler remodel with care is essential. You can read our full guide on the dos and don’ts of Eichler home remodeling and common Eichler remodeling mistakes to avoid – but rest assured, GMJ Construction will guide you away from these pitfalls. We treat each Eichler with deep respect for the original vision, as if it were our own home.

Planning Your Eichler Renovation in Burlingame

Every successful home renovation starts with solid planning – and this is especially true for Eichler homes. In Burlingame’s Mills Estates (and other Eichler enclaves), there may be neighborhood or HOA guidelines intended to preserve the exterior look of the homes. We’re very familiar with these considerations. Early in the process, we’ll review any community rules or historical preservation guidelines applicable to your property. (For a primer on this, see our HOA rules guide for Eichler remodeling which covers how Eichler neighborhoods often have standards for things like facade changes, fence heights, etc.) We also handle all the necessary city permits and approvals for Burlingame and San Mateo County. Older Eichlers sometimes require special permit considerations – for example, opening up a load-bearing wall in an Eichler (which often uses unique post-and-beam support) must be calculated carefully by a structural engineer. GMJ Construction will navigate the entire permitting process for you, ensuring your project meets local building codes and structural requirements. Our in-house planning & design consultants specialize in Eichler remodels, so we can create architectural plans that both fulfill your vision and comply with Burlingame’s regulations. You’ll receive detailed 3D designs and plans that let you visualize changes to your mid-century home before construction begins – so there are no surprises. Good planning also means setting a realistic timeline and sequencing the work properly (for instance, scheduling roofing or siding work during dry months, given our Bay Area weather, or doing any necessary asbestos abatement at the outset if your 1960s home has it in old materials).

Budgeting is another critical part of the planning stage. Remodeling an Eichler can involve costs that typical homes might not have – such as specialized materials or accommodating the existing slab foundation and radiant heating systems. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your budget goals and priorities. We always strive to provide free, accurate estimates and competitive pricing up front so you know what to expect. Our team also believes in proactive budgeting: we include a contingency plan for the unknowns that older homes sometimes hide (like discovering moisture damage in the walls, or needing to upgrade an old electrical panel for safety). We have a whole article on budgeting for your Eichler home renovation which offers tips on controlling costs without cutting corners – a must-read for any Eichler homeowner planning an upgrade. One great strategy is prioritizing improvements that add the most value and comfort first (such as kitchen and bathroom remodels or energy efficiency upgrades), and scheduling nice-to-have aesthetic updates in phases if needed. We can help you figure out “the best way to renovate your home on a budget” – as discussed in this blog post – by finding creative solutions and materials that achieve the look you want cost-effectively. Remember, in the current California housing market, investing in your existing home can be much smarter than trying to buy a new one. Eichler homes in Burlingame are highly valued; a well-planned remodel will not only make daily life more enjoyable but also significantly boost your home’s value. We’ll make sure you get the most out of every dollar you put into your remodel.

Finally, choosing the right contractor is part of planning too. You’ll want a team that communicates clearly, works efficiently, and truly understands Eichlers. With GMJ Construction, you’ll get hands-on guidance from day one. We offer free initial consultations where we listen to your ideas and provide input based on our extensive Eichler experience. Throughout the project, we keep you in the loop with regular updates (even daily progress reports if you want them!). Our goal is to make the remodeling process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you. Many of our clients live in their homes during construction, so we carefully plan around your schedule and take steps to minimize disruption (for example, partitioning off work areas to keep the rest of the house livable and clean). If you have any questions along the way, we’re always just a phone call or text away – and we’ve also compiled a detailed FAQ page that answers common remodeling questions. From timeline to materials to permits, we’ve got your planning stage covered from A to Z.

Comprehensive Eichler Remodeling Services

GMJ Construction provides end-to-end services for every aspect of your Eichler home remodeling project. As one of the Bay Area’s top Eichler remodeling specialists, we handle everything under one roof – so you won’t need to juggle multiple contractors. Below is an overview of our key services (all performed with Eichler-specific expertise):

• Interior Remodeling: From updating your mid-century kitchen to a spa-like bath, our team excels in interior renovations. We offer complete kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling services tailored to Eichler homes. This includes modernizing your layout and appliances while complementing the original architecture (for example, preserving the open plan feel and iconic Eichler globe lights). We also handle interior finishes like flooring installation – important in Eichlers since flooring must work with the radiant heating in the concrete slab. Whether you want to polish the concrete slab, install new hardwood, or put in stylish tile, we’ll advise on the best flooring options for Eichler homes. Our crew takes care of all the details, including fresh painting (we use high-quality paints and can help with selecting period-appropriate interior colors) and even behind-the-scenes improvements like drywall and insulation upgrades. Many Eichlers lack sufficient insulation in walls and roof – we can open up walls, replace old insulation, and repair drywall to make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient without altering its appearance.

• Exterior Improvements: Curb appeal and exterior integrity are crucial for Burlingame Eichlers, especially given the pride in the Mills Estates community. Our team provides expert siding installation to replace or repair your Eichler’s cladding. Originally, many Eichlers used vertical grooved redwood siding – we have experience working with redwood and other materials to achieve that same look. (If you’re debating whether to keep or replace old redwood, see our breakdown of the benefits and drawbacks of redwood siding for guidance.) We also take care of driveway installations and replacements. Upgrading an aging concrete driveway not only improves safety (no more cracks or uneven sections) but also boosts the overall appearance of your property. We can design a driveway that complements your mid-century aesthetic – whether a clean rectangular slab or something more decorative – and even discuss options like concrete vs. asphalt driveways to choose the right material. Beyond siding and driveways, our exterior services include painting the outside of your Eichler in approved color schemes (if required by Mills Estates HOA) and making sure elements like roof fascia, siding trim, and entryways are all refreshed. If you want to improve your home’s first impression, we can also assist with ideas for landscaping and facade updates – for inspiration, read our blog on boosting Eichler curb appeal through exterior design and our entryway design tips for Eichler homes. We love helping your Eichler look its best from the street while maintaining its authentic style.

• Home Additions & New Builds: Need more space or thinking of building from scratch? We have you covered. GMJ’s expertise extends to seamless Eichler-compatible expansions like room additions and ADU construction (Accessory Dwelling Units). If your family is growing or you’d like a dedicated home office, we can design additions that blend in with the original Eichler architecture. That means matching rooflines, ceiling heights, and using complementary materials so the new space looks like it’s always been part of the home. (It is possible to add space to an Eichler without it looking “tacked on”! Our design team excels at this – check out our guide on building an Eichler home addition for some insight into the process.) We’ve also converted open-air carports into enclosed garages or living spaces – a popular way Eichler owners gain usable square footage. If you’re interested in a garage conversion, take a look at our article on Eichler carport conversions and enhancements. For those dreaming of an entirely new home with Eichler-inspired design, we also offer new home construction services. Perhaps you love the mid-century style but want to build a brand-new custom home in that spirit – with GMJ’s help, you can! We understand the structural principles and design language of Eichlers and can incorporate them into a modern build with updated materials and technology. From a simple guest house ADU to a custom Eichler-style new build, we’ll ensure the result is functional, beautiful, and true to the Eichler spirit.

• Design & Project Planning: A successful remodel or addition starts with great design. Our planning and design team will work closely with you (and your architect, if you have one) to develop the perfect plan for your Burlingame Eichler. We use advanced design tools to create floor plans, 3D renderings, and even virtual walk-throughs of your future space. This not only helps you visualize changes but also helps us spot and resolve any potential issues early. For example, we can simulate how adding a wall or cabinet might affect sight-lines to the outdoors, or how natural light will fill the room after a change – ensuring we uphold that Eichler indoor-outdoor harmony. Our design phase also covers material selections, fixtures, and finishes that fit the mid-century modern vibe (from selecting sleek flat-front cabinets for the kitchen to suggesting period-appropriate lighting fixtures or modern replicas). We want you to love both the process and the final outcome, so we put a heavy emphasis on the upfront design collaboration. And as mentioned, we handle all the technical planning like structural engineering and permit drawings too. By the time construction starts, every detail will have been thoughtfully planned out. (If you’re curious about what goes into planning a remodel, our article on how to make a construction plan offers a behind-the-scenes look at our process, and the “8 steps of a room addition build” are very similar to the steps we follow for Eichler renovations.) With GMJ, you get a partner who guides you through design, permitting, and construction from start to finish.

Modern Upgrades for Efficiency, Comfort, and Safety

Remodeling an Eichler home isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s the perfect chance to upgrade the comfort and efficiency of your house. Many Eichler owners want to enjoy the mid-century style but also benefit from 21st-century performance. Here are some modern upgrades we often incorporate in Burlingame Eichler remodels:

Energy Efficiency: Eichler homes were ahead of their time in design, but by today’s standards they can be energy-inefficient if not upgraded. Single-pane glass walls, uninsulated roofs, and aging radiant heating can make the house too cold in winter or hot in summer. As part of your remodel, we can significantly improve efficiency. This might include installing high-performance dual-pane windows that mimic the look of the original glass but offer better insulation, adding new roof insulation or insulating panels (critical on that flat roof), and upgrading the old radiant heating boiler to a modern efficient system. Some Eichler owners opt to supplement or replace the original radiant floors with new solutions – for example, adding a mini-split heating/cooling system for year-round comfort. We can run minimal-profile ducting or ductless systems that won’t disrupt your ceiling lines. To get an idea of the possibilities, check out our guide on heating & cooling solutions for Eichler homes. We also love incorporating green solutions. One popular upgrade in sunny Burlingame is adding solar panels. Flat roofs actually provide a great platform for solar panels when done thoughtfully. We coordinate with solar installers (or handle it end-to-end) to ensure panels are installed at the optimal angle and are discreet. You can read more about solar panel installation for Eichler homes in our blog – including considerations like not drilling into the tongue-and-groove ceiling from above. Along with solar, we often recommend energy-efficient lighting and appliances to reduce your utility bills. Switching to LED lighting, for instance, not only saves energy but also produces less heat (helpful in the summer). Our article on energy-efficient upgrades for Eichler homes highlights several improvements – from smart thermostats to on-demand water heaters – that can make your mid-century home far more eco-friendly and comfortable without altering its appearance. By integrating these upgrades, you get the best of both worlds: Eichler look, modern efficiency.

Lighting and Brightness: While Eichlers are known for abundant natural light, some areas (like bedrooms or hallways) can be a bit dim due to the closed roof design and lack of ceiling lights in original plans. During a remodel, we can address this by adding thoughtfully placed lighting. For example, adding skylights is a fantastic way to brighten up an Eichler without compromising design. We can install flat or low-profile skylights that bring sunshine into bathrooms, hallways, or that dark corner of the living room. If you’re curious, see our piece on skylights for Eichler homes – it discusses leak-proof installation on flat roofs and how to position skylights for maximum effect. Aside from natural light, improving the artificial lighting is key. Eichlers often had globe pendant lights and a few lamps; we can integrate modern recessed lighting or track lighting in a sensitive way. For example, in a post-and-beam ceiling, we might use surface-mounted LED fixtures that align with beams so they don’t visually clutter the ceiling. We can also incorporate smart lighting systems that let you adjust ambiance easily. There are many creative solutions now to highlight architectural features (like up-lighting those beautiful open beam ceilings!). Our team will develop a lighting plan so your Eichler is bright and welcoming at night, while still feeling mid-century. We even wrote about how to upgrade Eichler home lighting – with tips on fixtures and layouts that work well. A well-lit Eichler can showcase your home’s design better and make everyday living more enjoyable.

Modern Amenities & Tech: Just because your home was built in the 60s doesn’t mean it can’t have 2020s technology. Many Burlingame Eichler owners ask us to incorporate smart home features during the remodel. The good news is, it’s very doable to make an Eichler “smart” without adding a bunch of visible gadgets everywhere. We can install smart thermostats (great for controlling that new heating/cooling system efficiently), smart lighting controls, and even integrated security systems or cameras in a clean way. Need better connectivity? We can discreetly run new wiring or set up mesh Wi-Fi to cover that long single-story layout. If you’re interested in the possibilities, our Eichler smart home integration guide goes over how to integrate modern tech into mid-century homes. Another modern amenity people love is updating the fireplace (for Eichlers that have one). The old wood-burning fireplace can be converted to a clean gas fireplace or updated with a more efficient insert, turning it into a stylish focal point that also adds warmth on chilly evenings. You might explore some contemporary indoor fireplace ideas on our blog for inspiration. And let’s not forget the kitchen – the heart of the home. We can bring in all the latest appliances (panel-ready fridges, induction cooktops, etc.) and gadgets while designing the kitchen in a way that still feels open and integrated. Our recent article on updating your Eichler’s kitchen walks through a step-by-step approach to modernizing a dated kitchen, from layout changes to cabinet styles that complement Eichler architecture. Similarly, if you’re redoing bathrooms, you’ll face the classic tub vs. shower decision – we discuss that in this post, which might help you decide whether a luxurious walk-in shower or a relaxing tub (or both) is right for your remodel. With GMJ, you can truly customize your Eichler with the conveniences and luxuries that fit your lifestyle.

Structural Safety Upgrades: While planning aesthetic and comfort improvements, it’s also wise to consider structural and safety upgrades for your Eichler – both for peace of mind and to protect your investment. Earthquake safety is a big consideration in our region. Eichler homes, being single-story, generally perform well in quakes, but they can still benefit from reinforcement. We can evaluate your home’s structure and perform seismic retrofitting as needed – for instance, strengthening connections between beams and posts, adding sheer wall panels or steel braces in the walls, and securing the home to the slab foundation. These reinforcements can be done subtly during your remodel (often hidden behind new drywall or siding) and won’t change the look of your home, but they greatly improve its resilience to earthquakes. Fire safety is another concern, especially in mid-century homes that might have older electrical wiring or wood siding. As part of our services, we can upgrade your electrical panel and rewire any outdated or undersized circuits to meet modern code, reducing fire risk. We also offer fire safety upgrades such as installing hardwired smoke/carbon-monoxide detectors, fire-resistant siding options, and sprinkler systems if desired. Exterior-wise, replacing any rotted siding or ceiling soffits (often found in atrium eaves) not only makes the house look better but removes potential fire hazards. Roof maintenance is critical for Eichlers’ flat or low-slope roofs – during a remodel we often either repair or completely re-roof with modern materials (such as a single-ply TPO or foam roofing) that provide better insulation and waterproofing. Addressing any flat roof challenges early will prevent leaks and structural damage down the line. We ensure proper drainage and can even integrate slight pitches or internal gutters that preserve the flat look while improving function. Lastly, pest and dry rot issues (not uncommon in older wooden structures) are tackled in our remodels – for instance, if we open walls and find termites or rot, we replace the affected wood and treat the area. By combining these behind-the-scenes upgrades with your remodel, you get a safer, more durable home. It’s all about future-proofing your Eichler so it stands strong for another 50+ years, all while retaining its classic design.

See Our Eichler Transformations

At GMJ Construction, we’re proud to have worked on numerous Eichler renovations throughout the Bay Area. Each project is a unique story of bringing new life to a mid-century home. We’ve done everything from minor updates to full-gut remodels and additions. For example, our team completed a full Eichler renovation in Palo Alto – transforming an aging 1950s Eichler into a bright, open-concept modern home while preserving its iconic atrium and post-and-beam structure. In that project, we reconfigured the layout to expand the kitchen and living areas, installed modern floor-to-ceiling windows for better indoor-outdoor flow, and updated all finishes in a style that honors the original mid-century feel. In another recent project, we tackled a major Eichler restoration after a disaster – a home that had suffered significant fire and water damage. We undertook a complete renovation after fire & flood to essentially rebuild the Eichler from the studs up. This included reconstructing the distinctive exposed beam ceilings, installing new siding and windows identical to the originals, and upgrading the infrastructure (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to modern standards. The result was a like-new Eichler that still looked and felt like the same home the owners remembered, proving that even after a calamity, an Eichler can be brought back to its former glory with the right expertise. We handle everything from straightforward cosmetic updates to the most complex overhauls. Take our Mountain View project as an example – it was a full Eichler home remodel where we updated the kitchen, two bathrooms, all flooring, and the entire exterior. We even added a half-bathroom and laundry room by smartly repurposing some underutilized space, demonstrating how flexible Eichler layouts can be with creative design. The homeowners were thrilled to see their mid-century home transformed into a stylish, comfortable space suitable for modern living, all while retaining those classic Eichler touches (yes, the tongue-and-groove ceilings and brick fireplace were restored beautifully!).

Each of our projects underscores our commitment to quality and Eichler-sensitive design. We invite you to explore our full Projects Gallery to see more examples of our work. In the gallery, you’ll find dedicated sections for Eichler Home Renovations , showcasing many of the transformations we’ve completed. You’ll see before-and-after photos, descriptions of the project goals, and the solutions we implemented. It’s truly inspiring to witness how much brighter, more functional, and stunning an older Eichler can become! We keep our portfolio updated with new projects regularly – from a sleek Eichler kitchen remodel to a complete new Eichler-style home build, the diversity of our work is on display. If you’re looking for ideas for your own Burlingame Eichler remodel, this gallery is a great resource. Sometimes clients even point out a specific project and say, “I want that kitchen!” or “Can we do something similar to this living room?” We love those conversations, and we’re happy to tailor any concept to fit your home. For even more inspiration, you might enjoy our blog post compiling Eichler remodel before-and-after transformations – it’s a real testament to the potential these homes have.
