Where We Work
One primary market we know in depth, and a small number of secondary cities close enough to bring the same standard of work to — not a regional footprint spread thin across the Peninsula.
Quick Answer
Palo Alto and East Palo Alto are our primary service area, where we do the deep, specialized work this whole site documents. We also take on a limited number of projects each year in Mountain View, Menlo Park, and Los Altos. We don’t currently work outside these five cities.
Primary Service Area
Palo Alto and East Palo Alto are where we go deepest — the Eichler tracts, the historic districts, the permit process, all documented in detail elsewhere on this site.
- Palo Alto — zip codes 94301, 94303, 94304, and 94306. Covers 31 Eichler tracts built between 1949 and 1974, plus every traditional and historic neighborhood in the city. See the Palo Alto Neighborhoods guide for the full breakdown by tract and district.
- East Palo Alto — a separate city with its own permitting jurisdiction, treated as a distinct project scope rather than folded into the Palo Alto process. Get in touch and we’ll walk through what’s different for your specific address.
Secondary Service Area (Limited Availability)
These three cities are close enough, and similar enough in housing stock, that we can bring the same standard of work there — but only for a limited number of projects a year, not as a second home market. Each has its own city permit process, separate from Palo Alto’s.
| City | Eichler Homes | Main Tracts | Zip Code(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mountain View | ~275 | Monta Loma (1954), Bell Meadows (1972–73) | 94040, 94041, 94043 |
| Menlo Park | ~50 | Stanford Gardens/The Willows (1950), Oakdell Park (~1952) | 94025 |
| Los Altos | ~50 | Fallen Leaf Park (late 1960s), San Antonio Court (1974) | 94022*, 94024 |
*94022 is shared with Los Altos Hills, a separate incorporated city that isn’t part of our service area — see the Los Altos page for the distinction.
Each city page above covers what’s actually different there — the specific Eichler tracts, the local architectural character, and that city’s own permit process and timelines — rather than repeating the Palo Alto playbook with a new city name on it.
How We Decide Where to Take a Project
The depth we’re built around — knowing exactly where a slab’s radiant loop runs, which permit desk to call, which streets sit in a historic district — comes from staying narrow. That’s also why we don’t advertise broadly across the Peninsula the way national and regional remodeling companies do. If your address falls outside the five cities above, we’re not the right fit for your project, and we’d rather tell you that directly than take on work outside what we actually know well.
Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Kitchen Remodelers Palo Alto serve?
Palo Alto and East Palo Alto as our primary service area, plus a limited number of projects each year in Mountain View, Menlo Park, and Los Altos.
Do you serve cities outside these five?
Not currently. We stay narrow on purpose rather than advertising broadly across the Peninsula.
Is the permit process the same in every city you serve?
No — each city has its own building department, submittal process, and timelines. We file directly with whichever city jurisdiction applies to your project.
How do I know which page applies to my home?
Find your city above and follow the link, or tell us your address and we’ll point you to the right information and let you know if your project fits our schedule.
Not sure if we cover your address?
Tell us where you are and what you’re working with, and we’ll let you know honestly whether it’s a fit.
