Remodeling Company in Burlingame, CA
Home renovation in Burlingame means working inside a fully developed, mature-lot city where the housing stock runs from 1920s Craftsman bungalows to 1950s ranch tract homes, and where nearly every project involves blending new square footage into old framing. We’re San Bernardino Contractors, and we’ve served Burlingame since 2015 with the full scope of residential construction: kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, windows, additions, and ADUs. Call (855) 473-5620 for a free estimate on your Burlingame project.
Why Burlingame Homes Are Different
Burlingame is a built-out Peninsula city. There’s virtually no greenfield land left, so the construction trade here is dominated by remodeling, additions, and rebuilds on tight 25-foot-wide lots with zero side setbacks. The housing stock mixes early-1900s Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes, post-war 1950s ranch tract houses in the eastern flats, and an increasing number of large second-story additions and lot-splitting rebuilds. That means our Burlingame work consistently involves structural upgrades, foundation bolting, and carefully blending new framing into old.
The climate shapes everything too. Burlingame sits in the fog belt just south of SFO, with cool, damp summers and winter rain driven by Bay breezes. Exterior work has to be sequenced around morning fog and moisture, and wood rot and dry-rot repair are routine findings on older homes. Add in the city’s active code enforcement and design-review culture, especially around the historic downtown and the Burlingame Park and Lincoln areas, and you need a contractor as fluent in permit timelines and neighborhood compatibility as in framing. We know when a project needs design review, how to stage materials on a narrow lot, and how to schedule roof work around the fog pattern.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Burlingame Services
Burlingame homeowners call us most often about two things: whole-project general contracting and full home remodeling. Here’s what each looks like in this city.
General Contractor in Burlingame
When a Burlingame homeowner is planning an addition, a lot-splitting rebuild, or a multi-trade remodel, they need one contractor who owns the entire schedule, the permit set, and every trade on site. That’s the role we fill. We manage structural work, framing, roofing, windows, electrical, plumbing, and finishes without the subcontractor shuffle. On a narrow Burlingame lot, sequencing matters as much as the framing itself; we stage materials carefully and coordinate crane picks over the house when the job calls for it. From the roof down to the pavers, one contractor handles every phase. General Contractor in Burlingame covers the full scope.
Home Remodeling in Burlingame
Most Burlingame remodels are “remodel in place” jobs, where the foundation was poured before modern seismic codes and the existing footprint has to be worked around. We’re used to that. Whether it’s a kitchen gut, a bath overhaul, or a second-story addition over a 1950s ranch, we handle the permit path, the structural upgrades, and the finish work under one roof. Homeowners choose their finish level from builder-grade to ultra-premium, and we build to spec with the brands they name. You pick the brand, we handle the build. Home Remodeling in Burlingame has the full picture.

Home Renovation in Burlingame
Home renovation in Burlingame is different from renovation almost anywhere else on the Peninsula. The housing stock is older, the lots are narrower, and nearly every job means working inside a mature neighborhood with active design-review oversight. Fog and marine moisture mean exterior surfaces need repair more often, and wood rot hides behind stucco and siding on homes built in the 1920s through the 1950s. As a full-service Home Renovation contractor, San Bernardino Contractors handles everything from structural fixes to finish carpentry, with one team accountable for the whole result.
The scope of a Burlingame home renovation typically starts with an inspection of the framing and foundation, because seismic bolting and shear-wall upgrades are common prerequisites before any finish work begins. Then we move through rough-in, insulation, drywall, and finishes. Single-point accountability across all trades means there’s no finger-pointing between a roofer, a cabinet shop, and a tile sub when one GC owns the entire project. You pick the brand, we handle the build.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
If your Burlingame home has sagging floors, cracked plaster, outdated electrical, or a layout that fights the way you actually live, it’s time to bring in renovation contractors who can see the whole scope.
What it costs in Burlingame
A full home renovation in Burlingame typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, structural work, and finish level.
How we do it
We start with a structural and systems inspection, then produce a written scope with line-item pricing, pull Burlingame permits, and run the job with our own crews and a single project lead.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
When a Burlingame home needs work across multiple systems at once, like a roof, a kitchen, and two baths, a single team of home renovators saves months of coordination.
What it costs in Burlingame
Multi-room renovation work in Burlingame generally lands between $45,000 and $130,000, with kitchen-and-bath combinations at the higher end when structural work is involved.
How we do it
We sequence the job so the roof goes on before drywall, rough-in happens before tile, and the whole project moves on one schedule instead of four competing ones.

Will the price change once work starts?

How long does a home renovation take in Burlingame?

Estimate visits usually happen within one to two business days, and we can often start smaller jobs within a few weeks. Larger projects depend on Burlingame’s design-review and permit timelines, which we map out for you before you sign anything. Call (855) 473-5620 to schedule.
Yes. We prepare and submit the permit set for every project that needs one, and we’ve worked through Burlingame’s design-review process on additions, rebuilds, and exterior changes. We tell you upfront what the city will ask for and how long it typically takes.
We do. Several Burlingame neighborhoods have HOA or design-committee requirements on top of city review, especially for exterior changes. We sequence that approval into the schedule so it doesn’t stall framing or rough-in. Call (855) 473-5620 for an estimate that accounts for all of it.
