R&B Master Construction Inc. / South Bay
Campbell kitchens, baths and floors, planned around the city's online permit process.
Built around your home
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Campbell can involve more than new finishes. Start with the layout, electrical needs and any work that reaches into adjacent rooms. For an attached home, discuss association approvals before committing to a construction schedule.
Most Campbell homes date from the city's post-orchard building boom, so a remodel here usually means updating a house that is now 45 to 65 years old. R&B Master Construction Inc. (California general contractor, CSLB #1158657) plans kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring, painting, whole-home updates and concrete driveways for Campbell homeowners from the San Jose headquarters.

Layout, cabinetry, counters, lighting and appliance circuits. In a Campbell kitchen we check panel space early, because new circuits are where older homes most often run short. Ask whether Title 24 paperwork and an MGO filing are written into the proposal.
Showers, waterproofing, tile, vanities and ventilation. If the home is a condominium or townhome, ask whether the association must authorize the contractor and the work before an application. Confirm which drawings are in the proposal.
New floors across one room or the whole house, with transitions, baseboards and underlayment planned together with any kitchen or bath work so floor heights match at doorways. When flooring is part of a permitted remodel, it's drawn into the same plan set.
Prep, repair, primer and finish coats. Do not assume a paint color is exempt from review. Ask whether the Campbell address has design guidelines that cover exterior color.
More floor area attached to the existing house. Confirm setbacks and floor-area limits with the City before drawings. Ask which permit tasks are included in the written proposal.
Photos are design and material references, not completed projects in Campbell.
Several rooms and building systems updated in one coordinated scope. Ask the City whether the amount of work changes the application type before design is final. Architectural drawings for a Campbell project are prepared by our in-house architect when the scope needs them.

Driveways in CampbellIncluded with every service
Architectural drawings for a Campbell project are prepared by our in-house architect when the scope needs them. Building permits here come from the City of Campbell Building Division, City Hall upper level, 70 North First Street (408-866-2130). The City's Building Application Guides page says building permit applications use MGO Connect (MyGovernmentOnline) and lists a residential remodel guide for kitchens, bathrooms and whole-house interiors. Driveway approaches go to Campbell Public Works for an encroachment permit. Here is more on how we handle permits in Campbell.
Campbell, California
Built mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. Many Campbell houses date from the years after the orchards were subdivided. Original wiring, plumbing and insulation are worth checking, and the kitchen or bath may already have been altered. This page does not republish census counts.
A mix of house types. Campbell has detached houses, attached homes and multifamily buildings. If an association or CC&Rs apply, ask whether that approval is required before a City application. This page does not quote a housing census.
Historic homes near downtown. Ask Campbell whether the address is on a historic inventory and which exterior changes need review. This page does not promise that an interior remodel is exempt or describe a tax program.
These describe Campbell housing types, not completed R&B projects.

Trees: Tree removal can need its own Campbell permit. Confirm the protected species and size thresholds with the City before an addition is drawn near a tree.
Explore design and permitting servicesEffective January 1, 2026
Since January 1, 2026, permits are reviewed under California's 2025 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. The Energy Commission says these standards apply to additions and alterations as well as new buildings, but not to repairs, and that this cycle leans toward heat pumps for space and water heating.
Roof repair & replacement
When roof work is part of a Campbell remodel, ask the Building Division which elevations and material notes the current guide requires. Applications to the Building Inspection Division are accepted through MGO, as the City's Building Application Guides page states.

Replacing a driveway on your own lot is private work. The part that crosses the sidewalk and curb is in the public right-of-way. Ask Campbell Public Works whether that approach needs an encroachment permit, which application applies, and what the current fee and review time are. This page does not quote a fee or a dollar cutoff.

We work from our San Jose headquarters, which is close to Campbell. Tell us your city and the rooms involved. We visit, document what's there and write a scope that says who prepares drawings, who files in MGO and which inspections to expect, so you can compare bids on the same basis.
Our process, from enquiry to final inspection How to compare remodeling estimates
Before your estimate
For a Campbell home, three details make the first conversation far more useful.
Make a room-by-room list of changes so work affecting more than one space is not missed from the scope.
Gather the drawings and supporting documents requested by the relevant Campbell checklist in a single current set.
Discuss delivery space, storage and the route workers will use if part of the house will remain occupied.

Read the guideBefore you begin
Every home is different. Let’s talk through the details of yours.
Bring a room-by-room scope, the property address and any association requirements. Ask which drawings, submissions and inspections belong in the written proposal.
Do not assume a kitchen or bathroom goes straight to the Building Division. Ask Campbell whether the zoning or a historic listing requires a planning review before the building application.
This page does not state a Campbell plan-check turnaround. Ask the Building Division for the current review time before a construction date is set.
Listing is not, by itself, a reason to skip the project conversation. Ask Campbell which interior work can proceed and which additions or exterior changes need historic review for that address.
The driveway approach is in the public right-of-way, so ask Campbell Public Works whether an encroachment permit applies. This page does not quote a fee or a dollar threshold.
