Lussoro Design + Build serves homeowners in Belmont with full-service design-build expertise. From kitchen remodels to ADU construction, our team brings craftsmanship, local knowledge, and a personal touch to every project.
Belmont calls itself the "Village in the Hills," and when you're driving up Ralston Avenue into those hillside neighborhoods, you get why. Gorgeous views, winding streets, and homes that cling to the slopes with decks that make you feel like you're floating above the Bay.
Hillside homes come with unique challenges: foundation work on slopes, decks that need serious engineering, drainage issues, and access that makes deliveries... interesting. We've done it all in Belmont — kitchen remodels in mid-century ranches, bathroom updates in Craftsman bungalows, and deck replacements on homes where one side is two stories and the other is four.
We know how to work with Belmont's terrain, its building codes, and the structural realities of building on a hill. If your home has a view, we'll make sure your renovation takes full advantage of it.

Belmont's hillside properties often require additional engineering for retaining walls, drainage, and foundation stability. Additions or significant remodels may trigger soil reports and geotechnical studies. We work with structural engineers experienced in Belmont's unique topography to ensure your project is built safely and meets all county requirements.
Yes, decks over 30 inches above grade require building permits in San Mateo County. Pergolas, covered patios, and any structures with footings also need permits. We handle all permitting, ensure proper ledger board attachment, and meet seismic bracing requirements for hillside construction.
Most Belmont single-story homes can support a second-story addition, but it depends on your existing foundation and framing. An engineer will assess whether your foundation needs reinforcement. Belmont has standard setback rules, and hillside properties may have view ordinance considerations. We've completed several second-story additions in Belmont neighborhoods like Hallmark and Sterling Downs.
A full gut renovation in Belmont takes 4-6 months, plus 6-8 weeks for permits. If you're living elsewhere during construction, we can often expedite the schedule. Hillside homes may require additional time for foundation work or grading permits. We provide detailed schedules at the start and update you weekly throughout construction.
