Home remodeling in Alamo, CA

Remodeling in Alamo

Alamo is an unincorporated community, so there is no city hall to deal with. Building permits here go through Contra Costa County. We serve Alamo homeowners with kitchen and bathroom remodels, larger renovations and repair work.

N. Abeyta Remodels is a licensed and insured remodeler based in Brentwood. We manage the whole project, from demolition and rough work through drywall, tile, flooring and paint, so you deal with one team.

Permits in Alamo

Permits for Alamo are handled by the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development. What follows is what that office publishes, and we confirm the specifics for your address before work begins.

Because Alamo is unincorporated, the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development handles building permits. Applications are submitted online through the county's ePermits Center. The county publishes a document listing construction work that does not require a building permit for one- and two-family homes, which includes items such as shade structures, playground equipment, window awnings up to a stated size and low detached decks. The document notes that an exemption does not allow a violation of other codes.

Remodel work such as moving plumbing, changing electrical circuits or altering walls is not covered by the exemptions I can confirm, so we plan for review and confirm with the county.

What this means for your project

• Alamo projects go through the county, not a city, so requirements and contacts differ from nearby Danville or Walnut Creek.
• Neighborhood rules may apply as well. Check with your homeowners association if you have one.
