Frequently Asked Questions — Saratoga Projects
Does Saratoga have restrictions on ADU design?
Yes. The City of Saratoga applies design guidelines that address things like ADU height, roof pitch, and exterior materials — particularly in areas near designated heritage or hillside zones. These don’t prevent ADU construction, but they shape what the design looks like. We factor these requirements in from the start.
What's the ADU permit timeline in Saratoga?
Saratoga’s planning and building department review can take 6 to 12 weeks for a standard ADU application. Timeline varies based on project complexity and current department workload. We’ll give you a specific estimate once we’ve reviewed your property and project scope.
Do you do whole-home renovations, or just specific rooms?
Both. Some clients in Saratoga engage us for a single kitchen or bathroom remodel. Others are doing full interior refreshes across multiple rooms, or combining a home renovation with an ADU build. We handle projects at both scales.
