San Mateo

Lussoro Design + Build serves homeowners in San Mateo 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.

Building in
San Mateo

San Mateo is home to over 700 Eichler homes in The Highlands — the largest concentration of mid-century modern homes anywhere. If you're one of the lucky owners of an Eichler, you already know: the atrium is gorgeous, but that galley kitchen is basically a hallway with appliances.

We've helped dozens of San Mateo homeowners modernize their Eichlers and mid-century ranches without erasing what makes them special. Open those walls up (where it makes sense), add an island that actually works, upgrade to chef-quality appliances, and suddenly that 1960s floor plan feels like it was designed yesterday.

But San Mateo isn't just Eichlers. There are Craftsman bungalows downtown, post-war ranches in the hills, and everything in between. Whatever era your home comes from, we'll help you bring it into the present — with thoughtful design, quality materials, and execution you can count on.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in San Mateo?

Yes, for most kitchen remodels. San Mateo County requires permits for electrical work, plumbing changes, gas line modifications, or structural alterations. Simple cosmetic updates (paint, cabinet refacing, countertop replacement) typically don't require permits. Our team handles all permit applications and inspections for you.

How long does a typical bathroom remodel take in San Mateo?

A standard bathroom remodel in San Mateo takes 3-5 weeks from demolition to completion, plus 2-4 weeks for permit approval. If you're adding square footage or moving plumbing, expect 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the project.

Can I build an ADU on my San Mateo property?

Most San Mateo properties are eligible for ADUs under state and local regulations. Setback requirements, lot coverage, and parking regulations vary by neighborhood. We offer free ADU feasibility assessments to determine what's possible on your specific lot and help navigate the permitting process.

What's the ROI on a kitchen remodel in San Mateo?

In San Mateo's competitive real estate market, a well-executed kitchen remodel typically returns 65-80% of the investment at resale. Mid-range remodels with quality finishes (quartz countertops, soft-close cabinets, stainless appliances) tend to have the strongest ROI. Over-customizing for ultra-luxury can actually reduce returns unless your neighborhood supports it.
