Luxury Home Remodeling
in San Rafael

San Rafael is Marin County's largest city and its most architecturally diverse. The downtown core features beautifully preserved Victorian and Edwardian homes along streets like A, B, and C Streets, many of which sit within historic districts that require sensitivity to period details during renovation. Moving west into the Glenwood and Dominican neighborhoods, you'll find handsome Craftsman bungalows and Tudor revivals from the early twentieth century, while the Eichler-influenced subdivisions of Terra Linda and the sprawling ranch homes of Lucas Valley represent the best of postwar California residential design.

Permitting in San Rafael requires familiarity with the city's specific planning processes. Properties in hillside overlay zones are subject to additional design review, and many neighborhoods have specific height limits and setback requirements that differ from standard Marin County codes. The city's environmental review process considers creek protection zones along San Rafael Creek and its tributaries, as well as tree protection ordinances that affect how construction staging is planned. Our team has submitted hundreds of permit applications to the San Rafael Community Development Department and knows how to structure projects for efficient approval.

San Rafael's central location makes it the hub of Marin County living, with easy freeway access, vibrant dining and retail along Fourth Street, and proximity to both the ferry terminal and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Homeowners here are investing in their properties with confidence, knowing that well-executed renovations yield strong returns in a market where demand consistently outpaces supply. Whether you're opening up a closed-off kitchen in a 1970s ranch or adding a primary suite to a turn-of-the-century Victorian, we bring the expertise to maximize both your enjoyment and your investment.
