The Campbell houses we work on are usually 1,200–1,800 sq ft ranches within a few blocks of downtown: a wall between the kitchen and the living room, one bathroom for the whole house, a hallway that eats 90 sq ft, and a garage that has never held a car.
A whole-house remodel there is not a cosmetic job. It means deciding what the house is for, moving the walls that are in the way, replacing the systems while the walls are open, and adding the primary suite the original plan never had.
我們在 Campbell 做的房子，多半是 downtown 幾個街區內、1,200–1,800 平方英尺的 1950–1970 年代平房：廚房和客廳中間一道牆、全屋只有一間浴室、一條走廊吃掉 90 平方英尺、車庫從來沒停過車。
這種全屋翻新不是表面工程。要先決定這棟房子要拿來怎麼住、拆掉擋路的牆、趁牆打開時把水電管線換掉，然後補上原本平面圖根本沒有的主臥套房。
What the work usually includes
Structural wall removal with engineering where needed, a re-planned kitchen and bathrooms, new electrical service and panel, re-piping, insulation, drywall, flooring, doors and trim, plus new windows where the old ones are single-glazed aluminium.
工程通常包含
需要時配合結構技師拆牆、重新規劃廚房與衛浴、更新電表與配電盤、重配水管、隔熱、隔間牆、地板、門與收邊，舊的單層鋁窗一併換掉。
What drives the cost
Three things: how many walls move, how far the plumbing has to travel to reach the new layout, and whether the electrical service has to be upgraded at the panel. Keeping the kitchen and bathrooms in their existing locations is the single biggest saving on a Campbell house.
費用由什麼決定
三個因素：要動幾道牆、新格局讓水管跑多遠、電表是否需要升級。廚房和浴室留在原來位置，是 Campbell 這種房子最省錢的做法。
How long it takes
A whole-house remodel with the family out of the house runs 4–6 months on site, plus 4–8 weeks of design and permit review with the City of Campbell before demolition starts. Phasing it room by room takes longer in total but lets you stay.
工期
全屋翻新、住戶搬出的情況，現場工期約 4–6 個月，另外拆除前要 4–8 週的設計與 Campbell 市政府建照審查。若採分區施工，總時間更長，但你可以繼續住。
Permits in Campbell
Structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and any change to the exterior footprint need a permit from the City of Campbell Building Division. We prepare the drawings, submit, respond to plan-check comments and meet the inspector on site.
Campbell 的建照
結構、電、水、空調，以及任何外觀與建築面積的變更，都需要向 Campbell 市政府建築部門申請建照。圖說、送件、回覆審圖意見與現場勘驗都由我們處理。
Questions we get asked
常見問題
It depends on how much structure moves. A full renovation of a 1,400 sq ft Campbell ranch — kitchen, two baths, systems, finishes — typically lands in the range published for Santa Clara County in 2026, which is well above the national average because of labour and permitting. We give an itemised written number after measuring the house, not a per-square-foot guess.
Sometimes. If the kitchen and one bathroom can stay working while we work through the rest, we phase it and you stay. If the electrical service and the only bathroom both have to come out, moving out is cheaper than the delays of working around you.
Yes if it is structural or if anything electrical, plumbing or mechanical moves. We confirm whether the wall is load bearing during the estimate, and the engineering is done before demolition, not after.
Plan check in Campbell typically runs 4–8 weeks depending on the scope and how complete the submittal is. We build that into the schedule instead of discovering it after demolition.
