Foster City is a planned community built on landfill in the 1960s — which sounds less romantic than it actually is. Lagoon-front homes, palm-lined streets, and a master-planned vibe that feels more Southern California than Bay Area. Plus, you've got some of the Peninsula's best Eichler neighborhoods: Bay Vista, Treasure Isle, Marina Point.
If you're in one of those mid-century gems, you know the drill: post-and-beam ceilings and walls of glass are gorgeous, but that galley kitchen and the single bathroom? Not so much. We've helped dozens of Foster City homeowners modernize their 1960s and '70s homes — opening up kitchens, adding bathrooms that actually work, and creating outdoor spaces that take advantage of that year-round Bay Area weather.
Foster City projects often involve water proximity, which means we're thinking about drainage, moisture management, and building materials that can handle the environment. We know the local codes, the flood zone requirements, and how to build homes that last in a waterfront setting.
We Understand Waterfront Homes
Building near water requires different thinking — drainage, moisture barriers, flood zone compliance. We've done it dozens of times in Foster City. We know what works and what doesn't.
Eichler Expertise
Foster City has some of the best Eichler neighborhoods on the Peninsula. We've renovated dozens. We know the architecture, the quirks, and how to modernize them without destroying what makes them special.
Design + Build Integration
Our design and construction teams are one team. No handoffs, no miscommunication. One vision, one plan, one point of accountability from start to finish.
Transparent Process
We'll walk you through the design, permitting, budget, and timeline before we start. You'll know what to expect, and we'll keep you updated the whole way. No surprises.

Foster City homes near lagoons and waterways face specific moisture and foundation considerations. We ensure proper drainage, use moisture-resistant materials, and address any settling or foundation movement. Docks, boat slips, and waterfront structures may require additional permits. Our recent addition in Foster City's Lagoon District included foundation reinforcement and a new dock, all fully permitted.
Foster City has one of the largest Eichler communities in California. These homes feature post-and-beam construction, radiant floor heating, and atrium skylights. We preserve their mid-century character while modernizing kitchens, updating electrical systems, improving insulation, and repairing or replacing original radiant flooring. We've completed multiple Eichler renovations in Foster City's Metro Center and Bounty Island neighborhoods.
Foster City generally allows second-story additions, subject to height limits, setbacks, and design review. Many Foster City neighborhoods have view protection ordinances. We conduct view studies, prepare neighbor notifications, and navigate Planning Commission reviews when required. Our team has successfully permitted and built several two-story additions in Foster City.
Foster City building permits take 3-5 weeks for standard remodels. Projects requiring Planning approval (significant additions, second stories, variances) add 6-10 weeks. We submit thorough, accurate plans and maintain communication with city staff to minimize delays and keep your project on schedule.
