Our Eichler Restoration Process

We guide you through every phase of your Eichler renovation with a proven, multi-step process:

  1. Consultation & Conceptualization – We begin with a thorough consultation to discuss goals, then work on design plans that capture your vision.  Our Planning & Design team drafts custom plans that respect Eichler proportions and modern needs.

  2. Permitting & Preparation – Our experts manage permitting and site prep.  We help you create a construction plan that outlines all steps, and we handle HOA or city approvals for Santa Clara.

  3. Construction & Remodeling – Skilled crews execute demolition and construction.  We add or reconfigure walls (for open layouts), install new plumbing/electrical, and focus on drywall and insulation to improve comfort. Throughout, we address Eichler-specific issues (like flat roof drainage) while building new features.

  4. Interior Finishes – After structural work, we complete all finishes: installing flooring, painting walls and ceilings, fitting cabinetry, and setting fixtures.  We pay close attention to clean lines and details that preserve Eichler authenticity (see our dos and don’ts of Eichler remodeling).

  5. Final Inspection & Handover – We walkthrough with you to ensure every detail is perfect.  The result is a beautifully restored Eichler home that feels original yet updated for modern living.

By following steps similar to our 8 steps of a room addition build, we ensure your project stays on track. Our goal is 100% satisfaction: a home that you and the Santa Clara Eichler community can be proud of.
