As the Peninsula continues to attract new families and professionals, the aspirations of its homeowners grow with it — and we are here to help turn those dreams into reality.
Whether you are updating a classic craftsman bungalow in the Easton Addition neighborhood, adding an accessory dwelling unit to increase your property’s value, or taking on a full design-build project from the ground up, our team brings nearly two decades of hands-on expertise to every job we take on. Before any work begins, we ensure every project aligns with the City of Burlingame’s Community Development Department residential building requirements and carries the appropriate permits and approvals. For projects requiring a licensed contractor, we operate in full compliance with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) standards, giving homeowners complete confidence and peace of mind. We don’t simply construct buildings — we build lasting relationships with the families and residents who make Burlingame the exceptional, welcoming city it is.

Building in Burlingame: What You Need to Know
Burlingame is proudly known as the “City of Trees” and sits at the heart of San Mateo County, nestled between the rolling hills to the west and the scenic shoreline of San Francisco Bay to the east. Its distinctive position along the Peninsula gives residents both charming neighborhood streets and easy access to the broader Bay Area. The city’s housing stock ranges from historic downtown bungalows with walkable, tree-lined blocks to elevated residential parcels offering sweeping views of the Bay — meaning every construction project comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. Successfully navigating Burlingame’s permit process, zoning requirements, and the character-sensitive nature of its established neighborhoods calls for a contractor with genuine local knowledge.
According to the City of Burlingame’s Building Division, solar energy generation systems are required for all new construction in Burlingame, and the 2025 California Building Code became effective January 1, 2026 — meaning any permit application submitted after that date is subject to updated standards. As further outlined by the California Building Standards Commission, Burlingame enforces its own local reach codes covering everything from water conservation to building electrification, reflecting the city’s long-standing commitment to sustainable and responsible development.
