Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle building restoration on older Corralitos homes?

Yes. Most Corralitos homes date to the 1950s–70s and often need foundation work, rot repair, and electrical upgrades. We restore and strengthen older ranch and bungalow structures.

What permits are required for a small addition in Corralitos?

Building, electrical, and plumbing permits are typical. If your property has septic, we'll need Environmental Health clearance. Flood zone properties may require elevation certification. We handle all filings with Santa Cruz County.

Can I build an ADU on my Corralitos property?

Most Corralitos parcels allow ADUs under state law. We assess zoning, septic capacity, and property size to determine if your lot qualifies and design accordingly.

How do septic systems affect remodeling?

Adding bedrooms or bathrooms increases septic load. We coordinate with Environmental Health to ensure your system can handle expansion or recommend upgrades.

What should I know about flood zones in Corralitos?

Low areas near Corralitos Creek are in FEMA flood zones. Structures may need elevation, backwater valves, or wet-floodproofing. We verify your property's zone and design accordingly.

Do you work on fence and railing projects in Corralitos?

Yes. We build deck railings, property fences, and horse corrals to meet code and your needs on large rural lots.
