Siding in Palo Alto — What We Do
Siding is more than aesthetics — it's your home's primary defense against Bay Area weather. We install James Hardie, LP SmartSide, cedar, and composite siding systems with rain-screen detailing where warranted.
Palo Alto homeowners have hired us for siding projects across the city. As a fully licensed California general contractor (CSLB #1008964) with 11 years of Bay Area experience, we know exactly what Palo Alto permitting, construction conditions, and homeowner expectations look like.
Palo Alto Permits & Process
Palo Alto's planning department has detailed local standards on top of state-mandated ADU rules — including heritage tree protection, stormwater detention thresholds, and fire-department review when the new structure is beyond a certain distance from the main house. Plan check typically runs 4–8 weeks for a complete submittal.
