Remodeling Company in Lexington Hills, CA
Home renovation in Lexington Hills means working with steep mountain terrain, wildfire-hardening codes, and older custom homes that were never built to modern standards. Garden Grove Contractors handles the full scope under one contract, from interior remodels to re-roofs and hillside foundation work. We’ve served Lexington Hills since 2017, and we understand what these mountains demand. Call (877) 373-9230 if you’re planning a renovation here.
Why Lexington Hills Homes Are Different
Lexington Hills is an unincorporated Santa Cruz Mountains community in ZIP 95031, reached by winding roads like Highway 17 and Black Road. The housing stock runs heavily to custom mountain homes and cabins on large, wooded lots, many built in the mid-century redwood era with original wood decks, wood-shake roofs, and detached garages. A significant share of the work we bid here is driven by Cal Fire’s Chapter 7A ignition-resistant building rules and defensible-space requirements. That means re-roofs need Class A assemblies, siding often needs to move to fiber-cement or other non-combustible products, and decks frequently need full rebuilds with fire-rated decking.
The terrain shapes everything. Private, single-lane fire-road driveways are common, and many delivery trucks cannot turn around once they’re in. Steep slopes require erosion control and drainage planning before any foundation or hardscape work starts. Winter rains turn driveways slick and expose grading problems. We schedule Lexington Hills projects around these realities, not against them.

Our Main Lexington Hills Services
Two service lines carry most of the call volume from Lexington Hills homeowners: full-scope general contracting and whole-home remodeling. Each one is detailed below, with a link to its dedicated Lexington Hills page.
General Contractor in Lexington Hills
Most Lexington Hills projects are not single-trade jobs. A kitchen remodel often pulls in structural work, dry rot repair, window replacement, and fire-rated siding in one pass. Our general contractor service is built for that reality: one crew calendar, one permit path through Santa Clara County, one accountable point of contact. We coordinate down to the hauling logistics that make or break mountain builds. If you’ve been told your project is too complicated for one contractor, that’s a sign you were talking to the wrong one.
Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills
Older mountain homes here hide what we call redwood-era surprises: single-wall construction with no sheathing, undersized beams that worked fine for 1960 but not for today’s loads, and additions that were never permitted. Our home remodeling service starts with a real assessment of what’s behind the walls before any design decisions lock in. From kitchen and bath interiors to full exterior envelope upgrades, the goal is one remodel that holds up to mountain weather and modern code.
Home Renovation in Lexington Hills
Home renovation in Lexington Hills typically runs $14,000 to $130,000 depending on scope, and the mountain conditions here add real cost drivers: hauling materials up narrow private roads, working around steep-slope drainage, and meeting Cal Fire’s ignition-resistant standards on any exterior assembly. Homeowners call us when a single trade can’t solve the whole problem. A kitchen remodel that reveals rot in the subfloor, a bathroom that needs structural reinforcement for a walk-in shower, a roof that’s failing and taking the fascia with it: those are the jobs Lexington Hills throws at us, and they’re exactly what Home Renovation is for.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You have multiple trades that need coordination, a house with original 1960s or 1970s systems, or a renovation that requires structural, fire-safety, and finish work in one project.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
Full-scope home renovation projects in Lexington Hills typically fall between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage, site access, and how much fire-hardening is required.
How we do it
We start with a walkthrough and a written scope, pull the Santa Clara County permits, schedule around site access and weather, and run the job with one project lead from demo to final inspection.
Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You’re facing a multi-phase renovation, a partial rebuild, or a project where previous contractors walked away after the first two trades.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
A home addition in Lexington Hills runs $45,000 to $130,000, while a garage conversion is $30,000 to $80,000, and both need slope-stabilized foundations and fire-rated assemblies in most cases.
How we do it
We lock the full scope and budget before demolition starts, order long-lead materials early, and keep the build moving even when mountain weather throws mud season at the schedule.
What Home Renovation Costs in Lexington Hills
| Item | Typical range in Lexington Hills |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
How long does a full home renovation take in Lexington Hills?
Most whole-home renovations here run four to nine months. Site access, weather windows, and Santa Clara County inspection scheduling all affect the timeline, and steep-slope work adds days that flat-lot projects never see. Call (877) 373-9230 to get an honest schedule for your specific scope.
Do you handle the fire-hardening requirements in Lexington Hills?
Yes. Chapter 7A compliance is part of every exterior renovation we quote. We spec Class A roof assemblies, non-combustible siding, ember-resistant vents, and defensible-space-compatible decks so the renovation passes inspection the first time. Call (877) 373-9230 to review your property.

In Lexington Hills, the big price movers are site access, slope stabilization, and fire-code upgrades. A project on a flat, truck-accessible lot costs far less than the same scope at the end of a single-lane fire road with no turnaround. Every quote you get from us is a fixed, line-item price. We do not issue change orders when the mountain surprises us; we plan for the surprises in the estimate.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Lexington Hills
Yes. Because Lexington Hills is unincorporated, every permit runs through Santa Clara County rather than a city building department. We handle the full permit package, including Cal Fire review where Chapter 7A applies, and we schedule inspections ourselves. You’ll never be asked to meet an inspector alone.
Yes, and it’s one of the main reasons Lexington Hills homeowners call us. We plan hauling around site constraints, use smaller vehicles and staging areas where needed, and factor access into the estimate upfront. If a delivery truck can’t reach your parcel, we already have the plan before work starts.
Most estimates are scheduled within a few business days, and depending on scope, we can often begin within a few weeks once the permit package is moving. Bigger renovations that require structural or fire-safety review take longer in planning. Call (877) 373-9230 and we’ll give you a real start window, not a sales promise.

What Lexington Hills Customers Say
"Something came loose about a month after the work. Called them, and they were back out the next day and fixed it at no charge. Didn't argue, didn't try to bill me for the trip."
- Bethany Schaefer"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
- Carlos Ramirez"Ground up build. Permits, foundation, framing, all of it, and he ran the schedule tightly enough that the subs were never tripping over each other. Finished within a month of a fourteen month estimate."
