General Contractor in Los Altos, CA
SGM Builders is a licensed California general contractor serving Los Altos homeowners for ADU construction, home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and outdoor living projects. We're based in Hollister and work throughout the South Bay, including Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.
Los Altos is one of the most desirable residential communities in Silicon Valley. Properties here are large, home values are high, and homeowners expect a contractor who communicates clearly, manages the project professionally, and delivers quality finish work. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every project regardless of city.
ADU Contractor in Los Altos, CA
Los Altos lots particularly in the older neighborhoods near downtown and along the foothills are spacious enough to accommodate detached ADU construction in many cases. Rental income for a well-finished ADU in Los Altos can reach $3,000 to $4,500/month, making the ROI on ADU construction very strong in this market.
Los Altos falls under the City of Los Altos building and planning department. The city has its own ADU ordinance aligned with California state law, and we’re familiar with their review process. For properties in Los Altos Hills, we work through the Town of Los Altos Hills, which has separate planning jurisdiction and its own design guidelines.
ADU types we build in Los Altos:
- Detached ADU
- Attached ADU

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve Los Altos Hills as well?
Yes. We work in both the City of Los Altos and the Town of Los Altos Hills. Los Altos Hills has its own planning jurisdiction and larger minimum lot sizes, which often means more room for ADU construction. We’re familiar with both.
What's the ADU permit timeline in Los Altos?
Typically 6 to 10 weeks for a standard application with the City of Los Altos building department. Los Altos Hills may take slightly longer depending on the project. We’ll give you a specific estimate once we’ve reviewed your property and scope.
Can you handle a remodel and an ADU build at the same time?
In many cases, yes. Combining projects can reduce overall disruption. We’ll assess the feasibility during the site visit and structure the pricing and timeline accordingly.
