Millbrae's
Mid-Century
Neighborhoods

Millbrae is one of the Peninsula's quiet success stories. It's small, walkable, and perfectly placed — Caltrain and BART meet at the station, SFO is minutes away, and the hills west of El Camino look out over the Bay. Most of the homes went up in the 1950s and '60s, and a lot of them still have the original kitchens and baths to prove it.

That mid-century stock is great to work with. Ranch homes in the Millbrae Meadows and split-levels up in the Highlands have solid bones, sensible footprints, and plenty of room to open up. We take closed-off kitchens and tired hall baths and turn them into spaces that fit how families actually live now — while keeping the clean lines that made these homes appealing in the first place.

Hillside lots bring their own considerations: retaining walls, drainage, and access for crews and materials on steep streets. We plan for all of it up front so there are no surprises once construction starts.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Can I open up the kitchen in my Millbrae ranch home?

Usually, yes. Many mid-century Millbrae homes have a wall between the kitchen and living or dining room that can come out. If it's load-bearing, a structural engineer designs a beam to carry the load, and we handle the permit and inspections. It's one of the most impactful changes you can make in these homes.

Is it worth adding an ADU in Millbrae?

For many homeowners it is. Millbrae's location near BART, Caltrain, and SFO makes ADUs popular for extended family and long-term rentals. California law allows an ADU on most single-family lots, and garage conversions are often the most cost-effective path. We'll review your lot, utilities, and setbacks before you commit.

Can a remodel help with airport noise?

Yes. Upgrading to dual- or triple-pane windows, adding insulation, and sealing gaps during a remodel can noticeably reduce noise from SFO flight paths. We build these upgrades into kitchen, bath, and whole-home projects so the work is done once.

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Millbrae?

Most bathroom remodels take 4–8 weeks of construction once materials are on site, plus time for design and permitting. Projects that move plumbing or change the layout take longer. We give you a detailed schedule before work begins and keep you updated throughout.
