Remodeling Company in Lexington Hills, CA
Home renovation in Lexington Hills means working with steep hillside lots, older redwood-era homes, and Santa Clara County permitting instead of a city building department. Milpitas Construction has served Lexington Hills since 2018, and we plan every project around slope drainage, fire-hardening requirements, and the narrow private roads that make material delivery different up here. Whether you’re remodeling a 1960s mountain cabin or adding square footage to a custom home on a wooded parcel, call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll walk the site with you first.
Why Lexington Hills Homes Are Different
Lexington Hills sits at roughly 1,000 to 2,000 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains, above Los Gatos but a different world from the valley floor. The housing stock is mostly custom single-family homes, mountain cabins, and older redwood-era structures spread across large, tree-covered parcels. Many properties run on private wells and septic systems, which changes how additions and ADUs are planned. The lots are sloped, often heavily, and the roads are winding, narrow, and private. A standard concrete truck or large delivery vehicle frequently cannot reach the build site, so we stage materials lower on the hill or schedule smaller equipment and pump trucks. Winter rain is the biggest driver of structural work here: erosion, failing retaining walls, and drainage problems show up every wet season. Then summer and fall bring wildland-urban interface fire risk, which pushes homeowners toward fire-resistant siding, Class A roofing, and defensible-space planning. All of it is governed by Santa Clara County for unincorporated land, not a city hall, so the permit path is different and often slower than homeowners expect.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lexington Hills Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Lexington Hills homeowners: full general contracting for larger, multi-trade projects, and interior-focused home remodeling. Each has its own dedicated Lexington Hills page, linked below.
General Contractor in Lexington Hills
When a Lexington Hills project spans more than one trade, a single accountable contractor changes everything. We coordinate roofing, siding, windows, foundations, retaining walls, and interior finishes under one contract. On hillside lots especially, sequencing matters: drainage and structural work have to happen before finishes, and the county inspection schedule doesn’t wait for subcontractors who miss a day. Our team manages the permit set, the trade schedule, and the material staging so you’re not doing it yourself. See the full scope on the General Contractor in Lexington Hills page.
Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills
Remodeling a Lexington Hills home usually means working inside an older structure while preserving what’s still sound. We see 1950s through 1980s mountain builds with dated kitchens, small bathrooms, and floor plans that don’t match how people live now. The work often includes moving walls, updating electrical and plumbing to current code, and choosing materials that handle temperature swings and moisture better than the originals. Because many homes here are on septic and well systems, we coordinate fixture and appliance choices with what the property can actually support. Details are on the Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills page.

Home Renovation in Lexington Hills
Home renovation in Lexington Hills is rarely just cosmetic. Most of the homes we renovate are older redwood-era builds or mid-century mountain houses with undersized electrical panels, original single-pane windows, and foundations that have shifted on the slope. Winter rain gets into places it shouldn’t, and the county’s unincorporated-land building codes have changed a lot since these homes went up, so a renovation usually includes bringing systems up to current standards. We handle the whole scope from framing to finishes through our Home Renovation service, with one point of contact and one contract.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
Your Lexington Hills home has multiple systems aging out at once: original wiring, a roof near end of life, a kitchen and bathrooms that need full gut work, and drainage that can’t keep up with winter rain.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
A whole-home renovation in Lexington Hills typically falls between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and how much of the existing structure we’re keeping.
How we do it
We start with a site walk and a structural review, then produce a written scope with brand-named materials, pull county permits, and run the job in phases: structural and weatherproofing first, then systems, then finishes.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
You’re planning a smaller scope, like a kitchen refresh, a bathroom update, or a new paver patio, but you still want a licensed general contractor managing the trades rather than four separate calls.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
Smaller improvement projects in Lexington Hills start around $5,000 for a modest bathroom update and run up to $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel, with most jobs landing in between.
How we do it
We define the exact scope before starting, supply materials from our brand portfolio so there’s no big-box guesswork, and keep the same project lead on your job from demo to final walkthrough.

Do I need Santa Clara County permits for a home renovation in Lexington Hills?
For structural, electrical, plumbing, or addition work, yes. Lexington Hills is unincorporated, so county permits apply. We handle the entire permit package and inspection scheduling. Call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll tell you what your specific project requires.

Lexington Hills pricing runs higher than valley-floor work for three reasons: steep-site access and staging, county permit timelines, and the structural and drainage repairs most older hillside homes need before finishes go in. We give you a written line-item quote before work starts and we don’t change the price once the contract is signed unless you change the scope.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Lexington Hills
Start dates depend on county permit timelines, which for unincorporated Santa Clara County typically run longer than city permits. Small projects that don’t need permits can often start within a few weeks. Call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll give you an honest timeline for your specific scope.
Some Lexington Hills properties belong to small mountain HOAs or road associations with rules about exterior colors, fencing, and construction hours. We check for any restrictions during the estimating process so your project doesn’t stall mid-permit.
Site access and slope work. Steep driveways, narrow private roads, and the need for drainage and retaining-wall repairs before cosmetic work all add cost. We account for these in the estimate upfront, not as surprises later. Call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate on your project.

What Lexington Hills Customers Say
"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Claudia Martinez"The foundation survey came back dead on. Everything downstream of that being square is the reason the rest of the build went smoothly."
— Angela Kim"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
— Lucia Rodriguez
